Beijing:2008 on track with bid assurances materialising
(BOCOG)

The IOC's Coordination Commission for the Games of the XXIX Olympiad -- Beijing 2008, has concluded its seventh visit to Beijing since the Chinese capital was awarded the Olympic Games in 2001.

The meetings between the IOC Commission and the Organising Committee (BOCOG) indicated that the assurances made during the bidding phase are taking shape and that organisers are beginning to integrate their operations in order to deliver the service levels needed to make the Games experience a success for all stakeholder groups -- from athletes to spectators to media.

Commenting on the week's works, the Commission's Chairman, Hein Verbruggen said, "It is reassuring to see that each time that we return to Beijing, that the 2008 project continues to advance at a right pace. We are now just under two years away from the Olympic Games in Beijing and it is important that this rhythm continues so that on 8 August 2008 Beijing is ready to welcome the world. Particularly significant from our work this week is to see that assurances made during the bidding phase are becoming a reality. This is no small achievement given that the economic landscape of this city and country is changing so remarkably, resulting in a challenging backdrop against which the journey to Games time progresses."

The meetings, which took place over three days, included venue tours that allowed the Commission members to get a first-hand look at the development of the university venues, where sports such as judo, wrestling, taekwondo, badminton, table tennis and rhythmic gymnastics will take place, as well as the rowing and triathlon venues.

The Commission was joined by IOC President, Jacques Rogge, who was able to see Beijing's progress for himself when he visited the Olympic Green site. Rogge also met with Prime Minister Wen Jiabao for a productive discussion on a wide range of Games related matters.

Continuing his appraisal, Verbruggen said, "The next phase is critical for BOCOG. Their Games are now truly becoming something on the radar of the global community, a fact that brings challenges and opportunities. The test will be how this is met. The cultural interchange which we have no doubt will take place during the Olympic and Paralympic Games, can begin in the coming months as the organisers respond to heightened interest in their event and as they recruit service providers, contractors, staff and volunteers internationally."

BOCOG President Liu Qi extended his warm welcome and gratitude to all members of the Coordination Commission for their support to the preparatory work for the 2008 Olympic Games.

"The Chinese government has attached great importance to the preparations for the 2008 Olympic Games," said Liu, who is also member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and secretary of CPC Beijing municipal committee.

Liu continued, "On October 1, Chinese President Hu Jintao paid a special visit to Olympic venues and heard a report on the Olympic preparations. The president highly commended the achievement in the construction of the Olympic venues and the progress made so far in the Olympic preparatory work and urged more efforts in this regard. President Hu stressed that we must honor and fulfill our commitment we solemnly made to the international community and keep a good image of sincerity and honesty for our country. He asked BOCOG to strengthen cooperation with international organizations such as the IOC, IPC, and international sport federations."

The IOC also announced that, as part of its zero tolerance approach to fighting doping, the number of tests will be significantly increased. Final numbers are to be confirmed but are expected to be around 4,500, a 25% increase on Athens 2004.

The IOC also confirmed that the IOC Executive Board has agreed to the competition schedule for the Beijing Games.

Hein Verbruggen noted that, "After a thorough consultation process, the IOC Executive Board has approved a final version of the competition schedule which sees a spread of events throughout the day, with some finals in the morning, some in the evening. There can never be a perfect 'one-size-fits-all' solution which suits each and every stakeholder equally, but the IOC decision has endeavoured to find the best balance for the Olympic Movement as a whole."
