On May 8, a team of Chinese climbers lit the Olympic flame on the top of Mount Qomolangma. It was
a historic moment for China. China has promised to the world to light the Olympic flame on the top of the
world when applying to (申请) hold the Games. Now, the dream has come true.
Five torchbearers (火炬手) finished the highest relay ever. Three of them are Tibetan athletes. The Olympic
flame reached the foot of the Mt Qomolangma on April 26. But high winds and heavy snow delayed (推迟)
the mission. The team had set out at about 2 o'clock on the morning of May 8. It took them six hours to
reach the 8,844-meter Himalayan peak. They showed the Olympic flag, the Beijing Games flag and the
Chinese national flag on the top of Qomolangma. "Beijing welcomes you!" team members said when they lit
the torch. "We are on top of the world!" shouted Nima Cering. He has climbed the peak several times. But
he said that this was most important climb. "As a Tibetan and a Chinese, I pray for (祈祷) the success of
Beijing 2008," he added.
The relay on the top of Qomolangma is the Olympic motto,"higher, faster and stronger", in practice. It
will also promote the unity of all the 56 ethnic groups in China.
