I think China has outdone themselves! It was truly the most spectacular Olympic Opening Ceremonies I have ever seen... absolutely breathtaking and well done. Every performance had meaning and beauty.

2,If you'd asked a Chinese what the highlight of the Beijing Olympics was going to be at the start of the Games, most of them would have answered, "Liu Xiang". But on August 18, 2008, in the 110m hurdles heat, Liu Xiang dropped out of the competition due to injury.

Liu Xiang's decision is smart concerning the long run of his career. And it is very common for athletes to pull out when they have serious injuries.I feel sad to see him hurt and could perform in front of thousands of people. I deeply believe that he has tried his best. Otherwise, He would pulled out at the first run. He is the hero of all times in China and in our heart.
