北京奧運希臘點聖火 黑衣人高舉標語鬧場
2008年北京奧運即將在8月8日正式登場,而象徵奧運的聖火,也在台北時間晚間5點鐘在希臘奧林匹亞進行點火儀式。不過就在北京奧運組委會主席致辭的時候,有抗議人士衝到主席台旁抗議西藏事件,但這些人立刻被警衛抓走,並沒有影響到點火儀式。

2008年北京奧運的聖火點火儀式在希臘的奧林匹亞隆重豋場,但就在北京奧運組委會主席劉淇致詞時發生了狀況,有幾名人權抗議人士帶著布條,衝到了劉淇後面高舉標語,導播為了避免尷尬的畫面,立刻做了鏡頭的切換,結果出現的反而是抗議群眾跑給警衛追的更尷尬場面。不過警衛短時間內便把抗議群眾強行帶走,好讓點火儀式能夠順利進行。

不久之後,壓軸戲登場了,點火儀式的祭司來到已經有2600年歷史的赫拉神廟,主祭司先向太陽神阿波羅禱告,接著就把火炬放到凹面鏡當中,大約經過1分鐘後,陽光的照射讓火炬起火燃燒,現場所有觀眾熱烈鼓掌。

2008年奧運將有21880位來自於世界各國的火炬手,他們將以接力的方式經過五大洲21個國家,並在5月份的時候登上全球最高聖母峰,全程經歷9萬7千公里,耗時138天。

而台灣歌手王力宏也參加希臘境內的聖火傳遞,成為第一個到雅典傳遞聖火的華人火炬手,華人影星章子怡也會到場觀禮,聖火會透過605位火炬手傳遍希臘,最後在3月30號搭機前往北京。
