Highlights time. Which have been the most memorable of China's Olympic moments for you?

A handful to start things going...

Yao Ming scoring a three-point shot to open the scoring in the US-China basketball match (a great shot, but the US ended up winning easily).

Lin Dan winning the badminton singles (making up for crashing out in the first round in Athens 2004) and throwing his shoes into the crowd in celebration (one of the shoes has gone missing, several people claim they have the other one and are willing to sell it for thousands of dollars).

The shooter Du Li breaking down in tears after failing to get China a first gold medal on the opening day of competition, but recovering to win a gold several days later.

Lin Yue and Huo Yuang diving so perfectly that they seemed to become one person in the men's 10m synchronised diving final.

Yang Wei cupping his hands to his ears to hear the crowd's adulation after winning the men's all-round gymnastics gold medal.

Liu Xiang kicking a mattress in frustration in the corridor of the Olympic Stadium, after pulling out of the men's 110m heats (a hint of what it must feel like to disappoint more than a billion people).

Any more?
