It is now 12:15 am local time here in Kuala Lumpur, and the breathtaking opening ceremony has just concluded. Many highlights like the spectacular lighting of the Olympic flame by the final torch relayer, Li Ning. A famous gymnast who took some gold medals in the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics. This was one that I also caught some action on TV back then.(missed this out in the last post) That Olympics also bode good memories such as Carl Lewis' four gold medal haul in sprinting and long jump. There were lowlights too, with boycott by Soviet bloc countries. Amongst other notables were Australia's James Tomkins as flag bearer and Malaysia's Azizul Aziz as flag bearer.(now you know where my heart lies) Oh and the fireworks display was magnificent.
