As a quadrennial event, the Olympic Games have attracted a lot of attention.

The Olympics are here again, and we can't help but think of the 2008 Olympic Games held in Beijing, China.

The hosting of the Beijing Olympic Games that year added confidence to many Chinese.

The opening ceremony of the Olympic Games that year attracted the attention of the world and became one of the highlights of the Beijing Olympic Games.

Li Ning was holding the last stick of the Olympic flame, his body was pulled by a wire rope, along the wall by the flame in his hand lit the ignition path, the flame along the ignition path ignited the main torch, pushing the atmosphere of the entire opening ceremony to the climax.

The scene of this scene has impressed many people to this day, and at that moment we are proud of Li Ning, and even more proud of China.

When Xu Haifeng first heard that he had been assigned such a sacred and great task, his heart was very happy.

Xu Haifeng was 50 years old at the time, and after retiring, his figure gradually became blessed.

After being tied to a tightrope rope, he felt very uncomfortable, but Xu Haifeng still insisted on rehearsing the scene for only ten seconds.

At that time, the training was very hard, and he had to run to training at one o'clock in the morning every day to ensure that the scene was foolproof.

But Xu Haifeng's weight at that time had made him unable to do enough in training, and he looked big and fat.

After fastening the wire, it is difficult for him to move forward flexibly with the traction.

A month before the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, Xu Haifeng proposed to the General Administration of Sport that he should withdraw from the ignition ceremony of the Olympic Games.

He said, I can't get on the torch relay, and my body really can't eat it.

It was precisely because of Xu Haifeng's withdrawal that the General Administration of Sport later identified Li Ning as the final candidate.

Li Ning is a world-famous gymnast, one of the outstanding athletes of the 20th century, and is recognized as the "Prince of Gymnastics".
