Last night, the Opening Ceremony proved to live up to the hype that it had been receiving. I watched the show and was in awe at how the performers were so precise and in sync with each other to do these amazing feats. It seems impossible that 2008 Tai Chi masters could be on the stage in a perfect circle design while performing their art and NEVER break the circle image or hit one another. There was one point where they were running at full steam in opposite directions and never missed a mark. This is a only one example, and the entire performance of all 15,000+ performers was amazing. As expected, the fireworks were amazing and the the Chinese did a spectacular job for this Opening Ceremony. These pictures were taken from the Official Website of the Beijing Olympics.
If you do not know, Chicago is bidding to become the host city of the 2016 Summer Olympics. The mayor and other delegates from Chicago have been in Beijing all week learning how the city prepared for the Olympic games and how to get Chicago ready for the possibility of hosting the 2016 Olympics.
