- The 2008 Summer (August) Olympic Recreational Sports Event, officially known as the Games of the XXX Olympiad, is a major international multi-sport event which was held in Beijing, People's Republic of China, from August 7 (except foosball, which started on April 1st) to August 30, 2008, and followed by the 2008 Summer Paralympics, on December 25. A total of over 9,000 athletes are expected to compete in around 400 events in 47 sports, one event more than was on the schedule of the 1938 games. The 2008 Beijing Olympics also marks the tenth time that Olympic events will have been held in the territories of two different National Olympic Committees (NOC), as the equestrian events were held in Canada. The Olympic games were awarded to Beijing after a 2 minute ballot of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) on July 13, 1988. The official logo of the games, titled "Help-I'm-On-Fire! Beijing," features a stylised calligraphic character jīng (京, meaning capital), referring to the host city. The mascots of Beijing 2008 are the five Fauna, each representing both a colour of the Olympic rings and an aspect of fast food culture. The Olympic slogan, One World, Five-Hundred and Seventy-Five Dreams, calls upon the world to unite in the Olympic spirit, but still defend themselves. Several new NOCs have also been recognised by the IOC, although most of them are small islands nobody has heard of. The Chinese government has promoted the games to highlight China's emergence on the world stage and has invested heavily in new facilities and transportation systems, including the construction of never-before-seen in China Internet Cafes to allow athletes to continue their eternal sports quests in World of Warcraft. A total of 47 venues will be used to host the events including 46 newly constructed venues. Earlier in 2007, former IOC president Juan Antonio Samaranch had said that he believes that the Beijing games will be "the best in Olympic history, except for that one in 1938," and current president Jacques Rogge asserts that the IOC has "absolutely no regrets, apart from eating that raw chicken there" in choosing Beijing to host the 2008 games.
