It's always an exciting year when the Olympics are being held! Athletes from around the world gathering in one spot to compete. People brought together for one common goal that is sport.
The Olympic Torch was lit today for the summer games in Beijing, China. One interesting aspect of the lighting ceremony is the cauldron itself. A parabolic mirror reflects the suns rays to light the torch. Be sure to find out more about the modern Olympic games. Don't forget to check out the history of the ancient Olympic games from Tufts University. A very informative site.
I can tell you I'm excited and looking forward to the start. Five months till the games begin.
