Worldwide tonight we will see history in the making.
The 2008 Olympic opening ceremony will dominate our TV screens, our radio and our newspapers.
The nationalities of the world unite in competition, to prove the best and entertain with the worst.
Remembering the successful Olympians names is often a challenge in it's self, yet why is it the
Winter Olympics of 1988 that possibly reminds us of Britains most 'famous' competitors.
Rather than the gold medal winners, we remember Eddie 'the eagle' Edwards who wobbled in last!
Do we watch for the successes or hope for the entertainment in failure?
