The 2008 Summer Olympics

A Uyghur doctor, who served as a torchbearer in the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, is serving an 18-year jail sentence, said a media report.

Beijing Winter Olympics reveal a very different face of China as during the Summer Olympics in 2008, authorities had not imposed severe restrictions on locals and did not warn visiting athletes over speaking against Beijing.

Chinese Internet users on Sunday mocked state media for mistakenly reporting Istanbul would host the 2020 Olympic Games, the latest in a series of gaffes by the government-backed press.

The Luzhniki was built in 1956 and has already hosted the 2008 Champions League final and the Summer Olympic Games in 1980.

The 2008 Summer Olympics brought a smile to Chinese faces as China became the 22nd nation to host the Games. Overall, it was the third Olympic Games being held in Asia after Tokyo, Japan in 1964 and Seoul, South Korea in 1988.
