In 1896, the first modem Olympic Games was held in Athens, Greece. Since then many countries have successfully held the Olympics, such as England, France, Germany, Canada, the USA, Spain and Australia. After more than a century the Games returns to its hometown this year.

Four years later, the Olympic Games will be held in China. And China has already made a seal as the emblem of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. The emblem has a single Chinese character on a red seal and means “Chinese seal-dancing Beijing.” Below it, there are the words “Beijing 2008”.The character in the emblem is “Jing”. It means “capital” of China and it is also like a runner or a dancer. The running figure(人形) of the emblem shows the spirit of the Olympics- faster, higher and stronger.
