The 29th Olympic Games, also known as the Beijing Olympics, were held in Beijing, the capital of the People's Republic of China, from August 8 to 24, 2008. This Olympic Games was the first time China hosted the Summer Olympics, and the third time the Summer Olympics were held in an Asian country after the 1964 Tokyo Olympics and the 1988 Seoul Olympics. Most of the events were held in Beijing, with Shanghai, Tianjin, Shenyang, and Qinhuangdao hosting football events, while the sailing events were hosted by Qingdao [1]. On July 8, 2005, at the 117th Plenary Session of the International Olympic Committee held in Singapore, it was decided that Hong Kong would co-host the 2008 Olympic Equestrian Games. Since Hong Kong has an independent Olympic Committee, this arrangement was undertaken by two regional Olympic Committees, which was the second time in the history of the Olympic Games [Note 4]. The Beijing Olympic Games broke 43 new world records and 132 new Olympic records, and a total of 87 countries won medals in the event. The host country, China, topped the medal table with 51 gold medals, making it the first Asian country in Olympic history to top the gold medal table. This year's Olympic Games have produced two "trapeze" on the water and on land - Phelps of the United States and Bolt of Jamaica. The former won eight consecutive gold medals in the "Water Cube", not only becoming the athlete with the most gold medals in the same Olympic Games, but also becoming the athlete with the largest total number of gold medals in the Summer Olympic Games. The latter won three gold medals in the men's 100m, men's 200m and men's 4x100m relay with world records in the "Bird's Nest" in eight days, and was praised as the fastest person in the world. Comments: A very successful Olympic Games, leaving many good memories and very nostalgic.
