The commentators for the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics were Ji Xiaojun, Bao Xiaofeng, Qiao Dongzhuo, Wang Dunduan, Zhang Shanhui and Su Yi, while the TV commentators were Shatong and Liang Yimiao.
On the evening of February 4, the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics was held at the Bird's Nest National Stadium. The emcees included Ji Xiaojun (English), Bao Xiaofeng (Chinese), Qiao Dongzhuo (French), Wang Dunduan (Chinese backup), Zhang Shanhui (French backup) and Su Yi (English backup), while the TV commentators were Shatong and Liang Yimiao.
Ji Xiaojun, host of CGTN at the main station, took on the live broadcasting job at the 2008 Olympics. With two Olympic Games under his belt, he has his own experience of broadcasting: "We just want everyone to watch the whole ceremony happily, because it's wonderful and beautiful. If we finish the broadcast and no one notices our voices, and the broadcast is completely integrated into the whole ceremony, that's probably our biggest success. If once it's noticed, it's probably a flaw in the process."
