Qomolangma started with female climber Gyigyi as the first bearer and Wang Yongfeng as the second. A dozen of climbers celebrated at the 8,844-meter summit, holding the Chinese national flag, the Beijing Olympic flag and the five-ring Olympic flag. "Long live Beijing!" shouted one climber. Beijing organizers postponed the main torch relay, which is re-scheduled to start in the southern city of Shenzhen Thursday noon. The Qomolangma flame will be reunited with the main flame later in the relay.
