'Space walkers' thrill athletes

Remember the huge globe at the Opening Ceremony of the Beijing Olympics? Circling the 18m-high, 16-ton globe were performers doing the kind of weightless walk usually seen in outer space. They were from Zhonghua Martial Arts School from Shandong province.

Last Saturday night, some 126 performers, aged between 6 and 82, put up a show for the Paralympic athletes and volunteers at the Xiangyun Theater inside the Olympic Park.
