Jan.3 - Beijing plans to make a rehearsal1 this year for the 2008 Olympic torch relay at Mount Qomolangma, the world's highest peak, according to the Beijing Organizing Committing for the 2008 Olympic Games (BOCOG).

 

The torch will be designed specifically in order to burn at such a high altitude, and the design is in its final stage, said Liu Jingmin, deputy mayor of Beijing and vice2 president of the BOCOG.

 

"This rehearsal will be very important for a successful torch relay for the Beijing Olympic Games on the world's highest peak in 2008," Liu said.

 

It is learned the proceedings3 will be televised live on TV in the entire world.

 

It will be the first time for the Olympic torch relay to be held on the 8844.43-meter mount.

 

BOCOG has revealed that the torch is expected to reach Qomolangma from the southern slope before the mountaineers carry it down along the northern slope.

 

The opening and closing ceremonies will also be rehearsed, Liu said.
