The Associated Press' annual poll of U.S. editors and news directors voted the Beijing Olympics the fifth biggest news story of of 2008, coming in behind the U.S. election, the economic meltdown, oil prices and the American occupation of Iraq.It's a pretty safe bet that a similar vote in China would put the Olympics at the top of that list, followed by the Sichuan earthquake of last May.
Sports fans in the United States who want to relive more Olympic moments can tune in December 27 to NBC's look back at the games, "Beijing Olympics Opening Ceremony: TV Event of the Year," hosted by Bob Costas and Matt Lauer.
