Walks With the Flag bearer In The Parade




Countdown Begins

Awesome pics. Thanks for posting.


On a side note, I thought that the Pakistani athletes should have been wearing the Kurta Shalwar. Most of the African/Arab athletes were wearing their ethnic dresses. Just a thought.

The Hockey team wore the official uniform, been wearing that in every olympic parade and champions trophy (field hockey).
The 2 female entries (I'm assuming tennis and swimming), were wearing kurta shalwar in the parade, with matching jackets as their contingent.

Amazing!!!!!

HUH ? Canada hasn't won any gold medal yet. I don't think that picture is from Beijing.

He's the defending champion, all the pics are on Beijing olympics official website.
And I'm a Canadian as well!

So am I and no medal yet so far.

Haven't you been following the games, Canada won the preliminary round in Men's Gymnastics!
Switch your TV on now, channel 17 NBC, the games are on.

There is no medal on prelimenary round. Don't you know ?

Yes, you work your way up to the final round.
Every game will not have an instantaneous result.

Sorry, I got a bit busy, and couldn't do justice to the Closing Ceremony.
However, the Opening Ceremony of the Beijing Paralympics Opening Ceremony was held not too long ago.

Please keep in mind that most of the performers were handicapped in one way or the other.
And none of the pics are duplicates of the former opening ceremony.

China does it yet again, all here on the official Web-Site http://en.paralympic.beijing2008.cn/photo/...ies/index.shtml
