During the opening ceremony, peace pigeons were released and balloons and rally flags flown. A parade, rally songs, dances, gymnastics, a relay race and tug of war all drew crowds and applause. There even were cheering squads to add to the excitement.
開幕時，也施放和平鴿與汽球、升大會旗、唱大會歌，其他如分列式、大會舞、大會操、接力賽、拔河等也一應俱全，甚至場邊的啦啦隊也十分賣力，為大會增色不少。
