The Opening Ceremony
Flag bearer Anju Bobby George leads the Indian team. The women were attired in saris while the men sported bright yellow turbans.
Nearly half the 78-member Indian Olympic team did not turn for the opening ceremony. The most notable absentees were the hockey players.
China, Asia's main medal hope and host of the next Summer Games in 2008, walked taller than anyone behind basketball player Yao Ming. At 2.26 metres he is the tallest athlete ever to compete at a Games.
