baron-pierreIV Posted March 7, 2006 Report Share Posted March 7, 2006 OK, we're on to Beijing. Burning question -- so to speak :idea: -- who do you think will light the cauldron? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunkWithBode Posted March 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 It would be nice if they went back to one of their star athletes from the '84 Games, their first Olympics in over 50 years. Maybe the gymnast Li Ning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenadian Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 Fu Mingxia - winner of 4 golds and a silver. Diving competitions in Barcelona, Atlanta & Sydney. She can jump off a springboard with torch in hand! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baron-pierreIV Posted March 8, 2006 Report Share Posted March 8, 2006 Oops, I forgot Michelle Kwan. Maybe she'll run one of the Taiwan legs (her folks are from there); if she doesn't "recuse" herself. :wwww: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BethnalGreen Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 Not that it is relevant or even likely to happen, but i the interest of a bit of fun, I had to go with Ang Le - the most talented in the list! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guardian Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 Yeah, a Taiwanese lighting the cauldron at Beijing 2008. That would be intriguing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceNarcissus Posted March 9, 2006 Report Share Posted March 9, 2006 Definitely Fu Mingxia but if they really want to stick to the hardcore "women in sports" thing they should do Zhang Shan. Skeet shooting used to be a mixed gender event she won gold in Barcelona beating all men. In Atlanta however it was changed to a men's only event and a women's skeet wasn't added until Sydney.

Xu Wen-Ting Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 hahaha interesting~ im so happy see Ang Lee here,hahaha~ i will choose none of them surely. I think maybe Liu Xiang will be a hot guy. He is Olympic Champion of Men 110 in Athens Maybe many people together~just like SLC 2002... :sleepy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pui from HK Posted March 10, 2006 Report Share Posted March 10, 2006 The list for polling is very bad taste. I guess it will be Xiu Haifeng who light the flame. Xiu Haifeng is the first even Chinese gold medalist, who also got the first gold medal in shooting in the 1984 LA Olympic. It will be very meaningful for him to light the 2008 flame.

baron-pierreIV Posted March 12, 2006 Report Share Posted March 12, 2006 The list for polling is very bad taste. Oh, lighten :wwww: :idea: up, Pui. It's not like these Olympic voodoo rituals are sacred or what anymore. What? Do you watch in absolute silence, wide-eyed reverence and total awe as these gas-guzzlers are lit? If so, then you've completely wasted your time here on GamesBids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenadian Posted March 14, 2006 Report Share Posted March 14, 2006 The politics of a marksman lighting the Olympic Flame in China could be kind of tricky. I'm sure the human rights groups would have a field day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
