So, the next few days will be chock full of end-of-year retrospectives. We'll do our own as well. Today: The Beijing Olympics.
• That Olympic Torch Run sure was fun, wasn't it?
• Opening ceremonies included fireworks, fake children.
• The Chinese could not beat Kerri Walsh and Misti May-Treanor in beach volleyball, but they did cop a feel after their match.
• President Bush had the idea first, however.
• The Deadspin Beijing Bureau rooted out corruption, broke stories, visited local bars.
• Violent incidents were rare, thanks to the Chinese Scooter Police!
