The ceremony will close with the lighting of the Olympic flame but Zhang gave no clue as to the identity of the final torch bearer.
"For the lighting of the flame, the last torch bearer, this is the most secretive part and will be revealed at the very last moment," said Zhang, adding that the person had been chosen taking into account their "sporting achievement" and "social influence".
Zhang said he hoped there would no athletes using the occasion for protests.
"(We) hope and believe the athletes in the Olympic Games know they should not link the Olympic Games with politics," said Zhang.
"It would run against the charter of the Olympics and the spirit of the Olympic movement," he added.
The firework show, which is part of the opening ceremony, will feature the firing of 29,000 shells -- 15,000 inside the stadium and 14,000 in the vicinity. (实习编辑:顾萍)
