Beijing, China, July 16, 2008, —Chinese men wearing light-speckled suits wait to take part in rehearsals for the 2008 Olympic Games's opening ceremony.

Rehearsals have been cloaked in secrecy, but the first full dress rehearsal took place last week, state media recently said.

The ceremony is scheduled to begin at 8:08:08 p.m. on August 8 at the Beijing National Stadium, commonly referred to as the Bird's Nest for its architecture.
