After the mind-blowing 2008 Beijing Olympics Opening Ceremony there is no doubt about the excellent closing ceremony of Beijing Olympics .At Beijing Olympics, dreams were achieved and records were broken. Some people will be going home with their dreams achieved while others suffered defeat. One Cuban fighter may even be banned from the Olympics for life for kicking a referee in the face after learning he was disqualified from the Taekwondo match for taking too much injury time. Drama! It’s all coming to an end and China is set to put on another show to close things out.
As China bring full entertainment at opening ceremony of Olympics, it brings the curtain down on the 2008 Olympics with a spectacular closing ceremony in the Bird's Nest Stadium.The gala began amid a display of fireworks that form a huge circle in the sky which symbolizes the complete success of the Beijing Games.
In traditional Chinese culture, circle is a symbol of perfection, harmony and renewal.
The countdown to the closing ceremony started from the number 29, indicating the 29th Olympic Games.
All the audience joined the countdown from 10, while the numbers were displayed by firework explosions in the sky.
The theme of the sending-off party after a 16-day gathering and competition of the top athletes on earth in Beijing is celebration.
The world has much to celebrate because the elite of them during those days staged great sportsmanship by breaking 38 world records, and renewing more than 80 Olympic records, a feat unprecedented in history.
The National Aquatic Center, or “Water Cube”, saw 23-year-old American Michael Phelps build his swimming kingdom by winning eight gold medals and breaking seven records in a single Game. And, another iconic landmark, the national stadium, or “Bird’s Nest”, saw Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt win three golds and breaking three world records in the 100-metre, 200-metre and 4x100metre relay. Russian superstar Elena Isinbayeva conquered 5.05-metre pole vault in the stadium, too.
China has much to celebrate because for the first time it netted 100 medals, and led the gold medal tally with 51. Also, the host country made steadfast efforts to make the 29th Summer Games a success, with a spectacular opening ceremony and smooth running of all the games.
The success tastes sweeter for the Chinese people after they lost 70,000 of their brothers and sisters as the 8.0-magnitude earthquake struck Sichuan Province on May 12. The achievements at the Games and the ubiquitous volunteerism aroused by the quake and the Games will inspire 1.3 billion people to help each other and work hard for greater prosperity.
