World Party

Tens of thousands of people in Beijing flocked to public screen areas on Friday evening to watch the Olympic Opening Ceremony.

Numerous nationalities packed an open area between two giant screens. Following an initiative begun at the 2000 Sydney Olympics the 21 public screens will display various sports events and live world performances for the duration of the Games.

Hit for You and Me

China’s Olympic theme song ‘Wo he Ni’ or ‘You and Me’ got the thumbs up by the 90,000-strong audience at the Bird’ Nest.

International songstress Sarah Brightman and local favourite Liu Huan premiered the bilingual piece, composed by France-based Chinese songwriter Chen Qigang, atop a huge rotating globe at Friday’s massive event.

A music video was also launched that evening and is already getting multiple plays on the Official Olympic Website.

All set sail

The Olympic sailing regatta had a smooth launch at coastal co-host city Qiangdao, in Shandong Province on Saturday. Xia Geng, mayor of Qingdao and chairman of the Olympic Sailing Committee promised to give the world a splendid sailing regatta and hoped all teams would find the conditions favourable. In the lead up to the Games, Qingdao hosted two test events in 2006 and 2007. Games recap
