In the weekend, the Olympics began with a ceremony in London.
First of all everybody gathered in the Olympic stadium, ready for the ceremony.
Then the ceremony began with a countdown starting from ten. 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1,0 - the games were underway!
After that the teams came out in alphabetical order.
Nigeria, then New Zealand.
Nick Willis, the young silver medalist, was chosen to carry the flag on Sunday two weeks ago. Each team came with a copper petal. The Olympic torch was brought inside the stadium by the British rowing champion. Some Olympic hopefuls lit the copper petals. The fire came together and made the Olympic cauldron.
I'm very glad that the Olympics are underway.
