Olympic torch takes historic run on Great Wall
The Olympic flame made one of its final relays today, on the eve of the Games’ opening ceremony, as torchbearers carried it along the ancient Great Wall of China.
After a short ceremony at the landmark Badaling section of the heritage site, hundreds of fans waving yellow and red pompoms cheered on the first torchbearer, Li Zhonghua.
