Beijing Olympics 2008

This year China is hosting the Olympics. Our group are the Opening Ceremony designers. We have made a power point to show you our thoughts on it.

The March Past

As with all march pasts the Greeks will come first then all the other places in

alphabetical order except for China who will come last as they are the hosting country.

China’s Flag Holder

Our group has nominated Huang Shanshan a gold medallist in the Athens Olympics in 2004

for her Gymnast ability.

Chinese Culture

We predict that the opening ceremony will include Fireworks (China invented these), Lanterns (are at every ceremony), Pandas (Chinas most famous animal), Dragons (something China is famous for), Yellow and Red (Chinas lucky colours) and Acrobats (Chinas best athletes). All of these things are special and famous in China so could very well be included.

Chinese Olympic MascotsThe Chinese Olympic Mascots are Beibei, Jingjing, Huanhuan, Yingying and Nini who represent the rings and colours of the Olympic rings. The Mascots will probably be included in the opening ceremony

Speeches

Our group has decided that Hu Jintuo (General Secretary of Communist Party China) will do the main speech.

Release of the PigeonsIn all Olympics over 100 pigeons are released to fly away and around the world.

The Pigeons are always released before the cultural things and fireworks begin.

Chinese National Anthem

Arise, ye who refuse to be slaves;

With our very flesh and bloodLet us build our new Great Wall!

The peoples of China are at their most critical time,Everybody must roar defiance.

Arise!Arise!Arise!Millions of hearts with one mind,

Brave the enemy's gunfire,March on!

Brave the enemy's gunfire,March on! March on! March on, on!

The Olympic Oath

In the name of all competitors, I promise that we shall take part in these Olympic Games, respecting

and abiding by the rules that govern them, in the true spirit of sportsmanship, for the glory of sport

and the honour of our teams.“

Raising of the Flag

At every Olympics the traditional Olympic flag during the Olympic oath at the opening

ceremony.

The Olympic Torch

We have decided that Liu Changchun will most likely light the torch. This is the relay order for the Olympic flame…Wang Junxia-Long- distance runner, Teng Haibin-Gymnist, Ma Ning–Javelin and Han Yucheng-20m Race Walker.
