Beijing Summer Olympics 2008
The summer Olympics in Beijing are Over now. The opening ceremonies were the best Olympic ceremonies ever. But the Chinese invented fireworks so we kind of expected something amazing. The USA won the most medals and China won the most gold medals. There were many new records recorded including 7 new world records from the 8 events that Michael Phelps swam in. Two athletes stood out by becoming the most decorated athletes in their events Gou Jingjing in diving and Michael Phelps in swimming. But it was Michael Phelps who had all the attention as he broke the record for most Olympic golds in a single Olympics by winning 8 Olympic golds. He also became the greatest Olympic athlete ever with a total of 14 Olympic gold medals.With the summer Olympics now over we look to 2010 when Canada will host the winter Olympics.
