After Friday night's Olympic opening extravaganza, athletes arrive at the Aquatic Centre, known as the Water Cube, for the first day of sporting events in Beijing.
Olympic swimmers arrived at the Aquatics Centre in Beijing's Olympic zone early on Saturday, August 9, 2008, morning ahead of the first events of the Games.
On the streets of Beijing, many residents were at the news stand early in the morning to get a copy of the morning's newspaper to keep them as memorabilia.
