Are you ready for the Beijing Games?.
The 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, China is merely six months away.
Beijing, China was selected as hosts to the Games of the XXIX Olympiad in 2008.

Gold medals and a total of 59 medals, coming in third behind traditional powerhouses Russia and the USA. So it’s probably fitting that the country hosts this one.
The torch relay for the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing will span 130 days and more than 85,000 miles. Dubbed as the ‘’Journey of Harmony,’’ it marks the longest distance the Olympic torch will travel EVER.
The relay begins March 25 in Olympia, Greece, then heads to Athens before being quickly flown to Beijing. The torch will be taken to new heights, LITERALLY, when it is carried to Mount Everest. The only North American stop on the torch relay will be April 9 in San Francisco.
The Beijing National Stadium, otherwise known as the ‘’Bird’s Nest,’’ will seat as many as 100,000 spectators to kick off the Olympic Games on August 8. Lights were put into operation this past week at the stadium.
The national aquatics center, known as the ‘’Water Cube,’’ is a 17,000-seat arena that will be used for…
