The International Olympic Committee, the Beijing Organizing Committee for the Games of the XXIX Olympiad has decided to pause the ongoing torch relay on the mainland of China. For three days, May 19-21, the torch relay will be put on hold to honor the memory of those that lost their lives in the terrible earthquake that struck on May 12, affecting Sichuan Province's Wenchuan County and other areas.
Come August 8, 2008 is the official opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympic 2008. There is another 79 days left to this historic moment. I can't wait to see my favorite sports live on TV. In the mean time let see how the Olympic medals are made.
