The opening Ceremony

This post speaks about the opening ceremony, the order of entry of countries, among other curiosities.

*"The opening ceremony was held at the
Beijing National Stadium. It began at 8:00 pm China Standard Time on August 8, 2008(close to 08:08:08 pm).

*The entry parade of the competing athletes differed in order from previous Olympic ceremonies, as the national teams did not enter in order by the host nation's alphabet. Since Chinese does not have an alphabet, teams entered the stadium in order (lowest first) of the number of strokes in their Simplified Chinese character transcriptions; this is a common collation method for the Chinese language, such as the surname stroke order system. As a result, Australia (normally one of the first teams to enter the stadium) became one of the final teams to arrive, as the first character of the Chinese name of Australia has 16 strokes.

"Athletes of Greece, the country in which Olympics originated, entered the stadium first followed by all countries participating in the Games. China, the host country, was the the last to enter the stadium. "

germany + olympic games



The 1936 Berlin Olympic Games had been handed to Berlin before the Nazis came to power but now it was the perfect
opportunity for
Hitler to demonstrate to the world, how efficient
the Nazi Germany was. It was also the perfect opportunity for the Nazis to prove to the world the reality of the Master Race. The Berlin Olympic Games gave the Nazis an opportunity to show off to the world as 49 countries were competing bringing with them their assorted media. For
Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels, it was the perfect scenario.
