The 2008 Beijing Olympic Games are over...

There were some great moments, no-one will forget Michael Phelps and his 8 gold medals, or the ease with which Usain Bolt won the mens 100m and 200m sprints in world record time. Australian diver Matthew Mitchum broke through the Chinese dominance to win what would have been their 8th gold medal with an absolutely amazing dive, and his open and honest reaction was great to see! Natalie du Toit carried the flag for South Africa in the opening ceremony, and proving age was no barrier were Dara Torres and Oksana Chusovitina who gave inspiring performances to win their medals.

There were so many great moments, and they will live on in our memories!

Welcome to Beijing Music Video! 

This song is fantastic. I love Olympic songs, they're always so inspiring!

Keep your eye out for Jackie Chan and other famous people in this video.

The Beijing Olympic mascots are so cute! 

They're called "Fuwa"

If you can't make it to Beijing, playing the video game will make you feel like you're there! 

Why not get one of these great games so you can enjoy a virtual Olympic experience? I think I know how I'll be filling in the void after the Olympics are over for another four years...

I thought that was amazing the way Micheal Phelps won those eight races. I still remember the race when the relay he was on that had to come from behind and win. That was an exciting moment. I hear though after he won all his races all he craved for was junkfood. He deserved it! I also thought it was neat to see the Chinese won 7 out 8 diving gold metals. I was proud of the fact the American Men's and Women's gynastics teams' battled and won their metals. however I knew the USA's Women's and Men's basketball teams were going to win! It was just a matter of both teams getting overconfident.
