2008 Beijing Summer Olympics

Hello Everyone,

I wanted to post the video clip for the Beijing Summer Olympics opening ceremony for all of you that missed it. http://www.nbcolympics.com/video/share.html?videoid=0808_HD_OC_RC_CE005
The ceremony was four hours of very impressive entertainment. The Games have proven to be very exciting for the US in China. I've appreciated seeing the athletes dedication, skillfulness and emotion that pushes them through sometimes very difficult feats.

Enjoy the final days of these amazing games.
