100 Days until the Olympic opening ceremony in Beijing
April 30, 2008
Today marks 100 days until the Olympics will hold the opening ceremony in Beijing. As I published this post it is exactly 100 day until what no doubt will be a spectacular opening.
The ceremony starts at 8.00pm on August 8. It will be interesting to see if all of the world leaders attend the ceremony. There has been talk of a boycott due to the situation in Tibet.
My wife is not happy about the 100 day celebration as Beijing TV will have special programming rather than her regular series.
The Olympic torch today touched down in Hong Kong. It will hit the streets on May 2. The next day will see the torch in Macao. On May 4 the torch will be in Sanya, Hainan Province, which is part of mainland China.
From an Australian team perspective, there have been 6 sports that have already selected their team members for the Olympics. By early July all of the Australian Olympic team should have been selected.
I will be in Beijing cheering on the Australian team. I would love to hear from anyone else who will be in Beijing in August 2008.
