Using the Olympic Games theme song as the title of the article, the most beautiful drama must have the most shocking ending and the most spectacular coda. Just like the huge anticipation for the opening ceremony, the feeling of the entire Olympic Games can be described in the same sentence: Beijing 2008 is perfect, Beijing 2008 is hard to leave. The Olympic Games made China excited and shocked China. In the words of International Olympic Committee President Jacques Rogge: This is an unparalleled Olympic Games!
Shocking opening ceremony——
The opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games attracted more than 4 billion TV viewers around the world with its magnificent grandeur. An audio-visual feast was presented. The whole performance was full of climaxes and highlights.
At 8 pm on August 8, 2008, a dazzling skylight activated the sundial in the stadium, 2008 square drums shone with silver light, and colorful lights flashed in the stands. A huge matrix beat the gou to welcome the guests. Amid the passionate shouts and sound of cannons from the audience, a last 10-second countdown flashed on the field, fireworks rose, and the crowd was excited. The opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic Games kicked off with loud drum music and loud cheers.
At the opening ceremony of the 1998 Seoul (Seoul) Olympic Games, thousands of people performed Tai Kwon Do to great effect, leaving a deep impression on the world. Now at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, the Tai Chi formation performed by 2008 Chinese actors is even more refreshing. Thousands of people are uniform, as if carved by a knife, and its shape and scenery shocked the world!
At 9 o'clock, at the top of the blue planet, the famous Chinese singer Liu Huan and the "Queen" Sarah Brightman slowly rose hand in hand. A violin played a heavenly sound, and the Olympic theme song "You and Me" flowed quietly in the solo...
The most exciting moment for the more than 90,000 spectators that night was when the Chinese delegation entered the venue . When Yao Minggang, the flag-bearer of the Chinese delegation, appeared holding the national flag, the audience burst into thunderous cheers and bursts of powerful and uniform voices. The slogan "Come on, China! Come on, China!" resounded through the sky. All the audience waved the five-star red flag and Xiangyun silk scarf, the bird's nest has become a sea of ??red.
At 11:58, the torch arrived! The lights went out, and the seven Olympic champion torchbearers circled the field with the torch. Finally, the famous volleyball player Sun Jinfang handed the torch to the main torchbearer, the former "Prince of Gymnastics" Li Ning!
Li Ning held the torch high and flew into the sky under the pull of the steel cable. He took a moonwalk and walked around the "bowl" of the Bird's Nest for a week, while behind him were all the countries and regions that the torch passed through. He finally held the torch high and lit the main cauldron tower of the Beijing Olympics. The audience cheered for this creative lighting ceremony, and the Olympic cauldron burned brightly in the night sky. The Olympics are finally here!
The Shocking Eight Gold Phelps——
On August 17, American Michael Phelps led the team in the men’s 4*100 medley relay final. His U.S. team won the gold medal and broke the world record with a time of 3 minutes, 29 seconds and 34 seconds. This is the eighth gold medal Phelps won at the Beijing Olympics. The feat of breaking seven world records in eight championships also broke the record of seven gold medals set by his predecessor Spitz at the 1972 Munich Olympics. .
The shocking sadness of Emmons——
Matthew Emmons may be the most tragic athlete in the history of the Olympic Games. In the 2004 Athens Olympics and the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Emmons had already put the gold medal in his pocket, but because of an incredible mistake in the last shot, the championship was handed over to Chinese athletes.
The same event, the men's 50-meter rifle 3*40 finals; the same character, the American shooter Emmons; the same dramatic scene, Emmons's low-level mistake in the last shot, handed the championship away Send each other off. The only difference is that the star he ordered is Jia Zhanbo from China, and the lucky one from Beijing is Qiu Jian. We all say that people will not fall in the same place, but Emmons made the same mistake in two consecutive Olympic Games, and all this tells me that technology is not the problem, but mental quality is the first. .
Shocking 100-meter flying man Bolt——
In the men’s 4*100-meter relay final in track and field, the 100-meter world record holder Bolt, Powell, Carter and The Jamaican team composed of Frater won the gold medal with an absolute advantage of 37.10 seconds and broke the original world record of 37.40 seconds previously held by the American team in this event. Bolt finally won three sprint gold medals in the men's 100 meters, men's 200 meters and men's 4*10 meters at this Olympics, and broke three world records.
Shocking Liu Xiang withdrew from the competition——
Liu Xiang withdrew from the competition! These five words are being passed around by countless people. After showing his pain to the world, the athlete who was most watched by Chinese people during the Olympic Games left the Bird's Nest in despair, leaving billions of eyes with a lonely back.
Injuries are an inevitable devil in the lives of athletes, including everyone. Unfortunately, this devil haunts Liu Xiang at the most important moment!
In the description of CCTV reporter Dong Rina, the Bird's Nest is full of tragedy, and Liu Xiang interprets the Olympic spirit... One day Liu Xiang will return to the game, and I don't know if he will still be able to carry the Olympic spirit as always. So many glory and dreams. I hope that one day people will look at winning and losing more calmly. Otherwise, even if Liu Xiang has a firm gaze, he is destined to be fragile and strong.
The shocking American "Dream Eight" -
In the last century, the gold medal in international basketball was like being awarded to the American team, and the world has been trying to catch up with the United States. Nowadays, the world basketball world has undergone qualitative changes and has fully entered the "Warring States Era". Since the U.S. men's basketball team only won a bronze medal at the 2006 World Championships, it lost the opportunity to directly obtain tickets for the Beijing Olympics and had to compete for Olympic tickets in the America's Cup. The "Dream Team Eight" of the Beijing Olympics has only one goal: Olympic gold medal! Kobe Bryant, the leading hotshot, even made the bold statement that "Olympic championships are more important than NBA championship rings."
Of course, Kobe kept his word. At the Beijing Olympics, Mengba lived up to expectations. He finally defeated Spain in the final and regained the Olympic championship he had lost for eight years.
The shocking "bloody" Chinese men's basketball team -
The corner of Wang Zhizhi's eye was broken and his face was covered with blood, which cast a tragic light on the last Olympic game of the Chinese men's basketball team. color. The Chinese men's basketball team ultimately lost to Lithuania, ending their Olympic journey. But every fan will not regret supporting the Chinese men's basketball team wholeheartedly. Although they lost, they defeated You Rong!
This men’s basketball team has a lot of qualities that fans love. They dared to fight against strong opponents, were unyielding, and had the courage to fight. They fought until the last moment every time, and this time was no exception. When Yao Ming said: "We will continue to fight hard, we can clearly feel the progress of the men's basketball team. Although it is still the top eight in the Olympic Games, it has not broken through the historical record. But this top eight is achieved by the Chinese men's basketball team head-on and relying on strength. . ”
Different from previous games, this time our Devils men’s basketball team already has the strength to compete with the world’s top teams. In the first game against the United States, they kept the score tight in the first and second quarters and showed great spirit; in the second game against Spain, the whole team worked together and almost got an upset; the victory over Angola was a matter of course; the victory over Germany was a manifestation of the true strength of the Chinese men's basketball team. It can be said that if the Chinese men's basketball team reached the quarterfinals in previous years by relying on strategy and group advantage, it was a matter of luck this time. We can say with pride and pride: The Bright Red National Men’s Basketball Team is one of the top eight teams in the world.
After the Olympics, Lithuanian Yunas, the head coach of the Chinese men’s basketball team, will resign. Let us express our warmest and noblest gratitude to Yunas: “Thank you!”

On the medal list, the Chinese delegation won 51 golds, 21 silvers and 28 bronzes, surpassing the U.S. delegation for the first time; the U.S. delegation ranked second with 110 medals; the Russian delegation ranked third.
There is no need to praise the magnificence of the opening ceremony, nor to make any comments on the performance of the closing ceremony. To use a word from Chairman Rogge’s speech, it is: as usual. Yes, as usual, we have to end these 16 days in a way; as usual, we have to use a carnival to reminisce every bit of these 16 days; and the convention is the two-hour closing ceremony.
It is always a sad parting. From the moment Li Ning lit the main torch, this parting moment was already destined to come. The laughter and tears were sealed into everyone's memory along with the carnival at the closing ceremony. About the Olympics, about Beijing, and about China, the ancient and modern oriental country. We can proudly say: "Goodbye, 2008 Beijing Olympics! But just like the torch is in my heart, everything about the Olympics will be engraved in the hearts of the Chinese people and the people of the world. Beijing, the world chose Beijing, and Beijing gave The most perfect answer in the world!”
The 16-day journey came to a successful end when the flame was slowly extinguished, and Beckham and his eight minutes in London brought us a glimpse of four years. expectations later.
Goodbye Beijing, Olympics, goodbye, see you in London!
It’s hard to leave 2008, but it’s hard to leave Beijing!
