Olympics in Beijing

When I look back at the Olympics in Beijing this year, several points come to mind. Obviously, the opening ceremony was magnificent. To see the amount of people involved in this ceremony, and the performances that the Chinese performed was impressing to say the least. Another point of interest I found in this years recent Olympics was China's overall gold medal count. China ended up leading the world in gold medals with 58, and came in second just behind the US with an overall medal count at 100. China had captured 15 more gold medals then second place finisher, the US. Still another point of interest that I found was the unique architecture in China. A few of the buildings that stood out were, The bird's nest, the National Aquatic Center, and the headquarters for the CCTV television. Each of this buildings has a unique design to them which was very interesting. Overall my satisfaction with the Summer Olympics in Beijing was very high, and Beijing has stood out as being a very interesting city in the world.
