With the Olympics being in 2008 and the opening ceremony on the 8th of the 8th, do you think that the Chinese will want to come in 8th in all the events they are entered in since the No 8 is considered lucky in China.

Well i guess number 8 was a lucky number for Spains Samuel Sanchez, winner of the gold medal in the mens cycling road race.

He was given jersey number 8 for the race.
