Zhang Ziyi was refused entry to the Saint Fire Gate, and her blog revealed her feelings of disappointment.

Two days ago (on the 24th), while attending the 08 Olympic flame ceremony in Athens as a reporter, Zhang Ziyi mistakenly stepped into a restricted area. Security personnel who didn't recognize the superstar immediately moved to intercept her, and Zhang Ziyi was denied entry into the Sacred Flame gate, leaving her feeling very awkward on the spot. Afterwards, Zhang Ziyi revealed on her blog: "I feel a bit disappointed, but I will still be a torchbearer and carry the torch in China."
