The date today is very important to Buddhists and other East Asians as the number 8 is lucky so 08/08/08 is exceptionally lucky! With that in mind the 2008 olympics open in China amid stories of human rights violations, polution fears for our highly trained athletes and all round cheating and corruption.
The opening ceremony was reported as being spectacular and from what I saw it was certainly well coreographed and beautifully performed but you just cant help wondering.......
One part I did watch was the lighting of the torch and I have to say that it was very good.
The flag carrier for Great Britain was Mark Foster who still holds for the 50 metre freestyle record.
