BEIJINGS Olympic opening extravaganza drew rave reviews yesterday from media around the world. "An eight became a perfect 10 in Beijing tonight", the website of the Sydney Morning Herald declared.

 "The world may never witness a ceremony of the magnitude and ingenuity as that which opens the 2008 Olympics," it said.
 London's Evening Standard ran the headline: "China Magic", and said the "most ambitious Olympics in history opens with the most spectacular show".
