CHINA which is hosting BEIJING Summer Olympics 2008 gave a very spectacular opening ceremony on August 8, 2008.
I chose some of the photos for posterity purposes.
The Olympic Ring
The emblem of the Olympic Games is composed of five interlocking rings (blue, yellow, black, green, and red respectively) on a white field. This was originally designed in 1913 by Baron Pierre de Coubertin, the founder of the modern Olympic Games. These five rings stand for passion, faith, victory, work ethic and sportsmanship.
It also represented the five continents. It debuted in AntwErp in 1914.
