Beijing 2008

Beijing 2008: Official Magazine of Beijing 2008 Olympic Games
issue 10 | exe | 106 pages | English

The 2008 Summer Olympics, officially known as the Games of the XXIX
Olympiad, were awarded to Beijing, China after an exhaustive ballot of
the International Olympic Committee (IOC) on July 13, 2001. The games
will be celebrated from August 8, 2008 to August 24, 2008, with the
opening ceremony commencing at 08:08pm and 08 seconds.

Some events, including football (soccer), sailing, and new 10 km
swimming marathon events will be held in other cities of China. With
the equestrian events being held in Hong Kong, this marks the second
time the same edition of the Olympic Games has been hosted by two
National Olympic Committees (NOCs).

The official logo of the games, titled "Dancing Beijing," features a
stylized calligraphic character jīng (京, meaning capital), referencing
the host city. The mascots of Beijing 2008 are the five Fuwa (formerly
known as the "friendlies"), each representing one color of the Olympic
rings. The motto of the Games is "One World, One Dream." The games
will consist of 302 events in 28 sports, just one event more than the
Athens games of 2004. In addition to new events, several new NOCs that
may compete at the games have been recognized by the IOC.
