BEIJING — It was a magical moment, and it's worth taking a moment to revisit.
China's "Prince of Gymnastics," Li Ning, was suspended in mid-air, traveling around National Stadium at the end of Friday's Opening Ceremony. His act was the final one of a brilliant visual performance and it was capped by the ceremonial lighting of the Olympic flame.
A day later, the Chinese gymnasts carried that amazing image with them as they took to the floor at National Indoor Stadium.
