The 2008 Beijing Olympics had the opening ceremony on August, 8, 2008. 8-8-8, as you can guess, 8 is lucky number in the Chinese culture.
The opening ceremony of Beijing 2008 Olympic Games will start at 8 pm (UTC +8) on August 8th.
The last Olympic Games (as of June, 2014) were held in Sochi, Russia. The opening ceremony for the XXII Olympic Winter Games was on February 7, 2014, and the closing ceremony was held on February 25, 2014.
The 2008 beijing olympic opening ceremony cost over $100 million. This is about $476,000 per minute and $8,000 per second. This is twice the cost of the 2004 Athens opening ceremony. All I can say is good luck in topping THAT London.
The First Event to start at the 2008 Beijing Olympics was Football, which started 2 days before the Offical Opening Ceremony of the Olympic Games
There were 595 athletes at the opening ceremony. But I'm unsure as to how many more there are competing that didn't go.
