Venue models on Google Earth include the National stadium, the Olympic sports center gymnasium, the Beijing workers stadium and the Laoshan bicycle moto cross BMX venue.

Users can zoom around the buildings, view where they are in relation to each other and unlike the actual building they are not clouded by smog and you will not choke on the air.

Other Beijing 2008 features added by Google for the Olympics include special maps shows the medals won for each country and updated satellite imagery of Beijing.

For the next few weeks the Olympics is expected to dominate the internet and generate millions of searches.
