Beijing Olympics 2008

The Beijing Olympics 2008. Undoubtedly, the best Olympics ever put together. It was such a proud event for the Chinese. You could see it beaming out of every face. China lead such a strong fight with the largest gold medal tally of 51 and a total medal count of 100. This was followed by USA with 36 gold and Russia with 23.

Here's all the action on my Twitter, in real time as the games were happening:

On the Opening ceremony on 08.08.08 at one of the most beautiful stadium in the world - The Bird's Nest Stadium.
The BEST Olympics Opening yet! There is just 1 thing to say now - 'Let the games begin'!

I already feel like I'm loosing sleep!

On Track & Field. This was not USA's year where they dominated heavily in this event. This year the Kenyans begged the Marathon runs and the Jamaicans begged all the sprints!

As usual, there was so much fantastic action in gymnastics and a totally kick ass sport I discovered - Synchronized Swimming! Damn, the Russians were just flawless in the grand finals as they continued their gold medal winning spree.

What a GAME! To London in 2012!

Remembering the Olympics 4 years ago in Athens.
