New Beijing, Great Olympics.
The 2008 Olympic Game has been the most discussed and anticipated event throughout Beijing ever since Beijing bid for it years ago,yet the focus has shifted from making.a promise to making good a promise after Beijing's successful bid. In my opinion, to bridge the gap between promise and reality, Beijing still has a long way to go. To begin with, infrastructure construction should be the concern. Such infrastructures as communications and. transportation system and facilities ought to require our constant attention. First, traffic jam has been an age-old headache in Beijing. The scene of long queues of vehicles worming their way inch by inch while discharging dark fumes into the air will surely cause great inconvience to athletes and journalists, and blemish the city' s image.
Next, to add enchantment to convenience, and overall city - plan-

If time permits, a redesign of city layout and adjustment of architectual style would provide a better environment for fostering the characteristic, blending, oriental elegance with international grandear, will tower aloft among surrounding architectures. To achieve such effect, Beijing shall solicit opinions from first- rate architects and make an overall plan.However, Rome was not built in a day. To make good the promise of "New Beijing, Great Olympics" ,deeds speak louder than words.

Fuwa - Beijing 2008
Like the Five Olympic Rings from which they draw their color and inspiration, the Five Fuwas will serve as the Official Mascots of Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, carrying a message of friendship and peace--and blessings from China--to children all over the world.
Designed to express the playful qualities of five little children who form an intimate circle of friends, the Five Fuwas also embody the natural characteristics of four of China’s most popular animals--the Fish, the Panda, the Tibetan Antelope, the Swallow--and the Olympic Flame.
Each of the Fuwas has a rhyming two-syllable name--a traditional way of expressing affection for children in China. Beibei is the Fish, Jingjing is the Panda, Huanhuan is the Olympic Flame, Yingying is the Tibetan Antelope and Nini is the Swallow.
When you put their names together--Bei Jing Huan Ying Ni--they say "Welcome to Beijing," offering a warm invitation that reflects the mission of the Five Fuwas as young ambassadors for the Olympic Games.
2008年北京奥运会吉祥物“福娃”。这次奥运会的吉祥物形象是有史以来最多的，共有5个福娃，它们分别以“鱼、熊猫、奥运圣火、藏羚羊、京燕”为创意，被亲切地叫做“贝贝、晶晶、欢欢、迎迎，妮妮”。这组形象可爱、活泼的吉祥物，以“北京欢迎你”的谐音命名，将北京的祝福、中国的祝福带给世界。

An event specifically for winter sports, the Olympic Winter Games, was first held in 1924. The first winter Olympics competitions were held as a non-Olympic sports festival, but were declared to be official Games by the International Olympic Committee in 1925.
