2008 Summer Olympics

From Wikinfo

The Games of the XXIX Olympiad will be held in Beijing, China from July 25 to August 10, 2008. Beijing was elected the host city in a vote with Istanbul, Osaka, Paris and Toronto. Its election was considered controversial by many, given what some consider the poor human rights record of China.
