Olympics Medals Table In Proportion Of Athletes Attending

The Olympics medals table is not proportionate to the number of contenders each country sends to participate. I have produced the table below which details the ratio of athletes sent to the Beijing 2008 Olympics divided by the number of medals won. For example, both Panama and Togo only sent three athletes each, but both countries won one medal, so they top the table by ratio. South Africa are at the bottom as they sent 136 athletes but only won one medal.

China Hopes For 'Greatest' Games

The 2008 Olympics begin officially in Beijing on Friday with more than 200 countries taking part in the opening ceremony at the Bird's Nest stadium. A three-hour spectacular is promised, starting at 1300 BST, with basketball star Yao Ming to carry the hosts' flag.

"Of course we hope that these will be a great Games, even the greatest," said organisers' spokesman Sun Weide. But concerns over pollution which have dogged the Games remain, and organisers are hoping rain may improve conditions. Seventeen of the 28 sports feature action on Saturday, with the Games running until 24 August. The Games are expected to attract a record TV audience of four billion - over 100 million more than for the 2004 Athens Olympics.

A capacity crowd of around 90,000 will watch the opening ceremony in the famous stadium in the heart of Olympic Green. Some details of the ceremony, which has been directed by Chinese film director Zhang Yimou, have been released but organisers say there are set to be several surprises.

International Olympic Committee chairman Jacques Rogge on Thursday praised China's "extraordinary" efforts to reduce pollution. But he said, if it was bad, endurance events which last more than an hour could be shifted or postponed. The haze looks set to remain for the opening ceremony, although organisers forecast that pollution will stay just within healthy levels for the day. Guo Hu, the director of the Beijing Meteorological Observatory, said on Friday: "If the visibility is not good it does not mean the air quality is not good.

"We believe that the weather for the opening ceremony will be cloudy. From noon until early evening we may have some brief rain." IOC medical commissioner Arne Ljungqvist said of the pollution threat: "We have to be ready for such an unlikely situation to happen." The first such event is the 250km men's cycling road race, which starts in the heart of Beijing at 0400 BST (11am in China) and is due to last more than six hours.

That road race gold is one of seven available on Saturday, with judo player Craig Fallon aiming to win Great Britain's first medal of the Games. China's Du Li could win the first gold for the host country when she defends her title in the women's 10m air rifle. And American swimming star Michael Phelps also begins his quest to win an unprecedented eight Olympic golds in a single Games as he competes in the heats of the 400m individual medley. In all, nearly 11,000 athletes from around the world will compete for around 1,000 medals in 302 events.

The host nation are fielding their biggest ever Olympic team with 639 athletes competing in all 28 sports at the Olympics for the first time, in a bid to top the medals table ahead of the United States. Other events taking place on Saturday's opening day include beach volleyball, men's gymnastics, rowing and equestrian. The equestrian competition in Hong Kong is one of several taking place outside Beijing, with Qingdao hosting the sailing competition and Tianjin, Shanghai, Shenyang and Qinhuangdao co-hosting the football tournament. China has come under close scrutiny since Beijing was chosen in 2001 to host the Olympics. Demonstrations dogged the Olympic torch relay during its journey around the world. China's treatment of Tibet has been the subject of much of the controversy, and campaigners such as Amnesty International claim that journalists in China are still detained and websites blocked. Beijing has always promised to make improvements in human rights, media freedoms and the provision of health and education.

Following the withdrawal of boxer Frankie Gavin who failed to make the weight for the 60 kg lightweight division, British medal hopes rest with the likes of triple jumper Phillips Idowu, BMX rider Shanaze Reade and sailor Ben Ainslie, as well as 14-year-old diver Tom Daley among others.

There has been a security crackdown across Beijing in advance of the high-profile event, with thousands of armed police deployed and areas of the city centre locked down. Many of the city's 17m residents stayed at home after the Beijing authorities declared a public holiday to mark the auspicious start at 8pm (1300 BST) on 08/08/08 - the number eight is very lucky in China. Beijing airport is set to shut down just ahead of the start of the ceremony to be attended by world leaders such as Chinese President Hu Jintao and US counterpart George W Bush.

Olympics hostesses complete training

BEIJING, July 23 (Xinhua) -- Training of the 337 would-be hostesses for the Olympic victory ceremonies will end on Saturday, when the Chinese college beauties graduate from boot camp.

"I've always dreamed of being a guide hostess for the table tennis athletes at the Olympic venue," said Yang Xu, 19, one of the 300-odd young women selected from more than 5,000 candidates in Beijing and Shanghai colleges as part of the Olympic volunteers. Just like others, the slim, 170 cm tall Yang has been trained for three short terms with five kinds of courses, including body-shaping exercises, dancing, manners, ceremony processes and basic Olympic-related knowledge.

"It has been a tough job. We are often asked to keep a good-looking standing gesture on the standardized 5-centimeter-high heels for more than one hour, so that my T-shirt has been drenched with sweat even in the air-conditioned room," yang said. "Our teacher sometimes was seen taking a pack of broken heels for repair, a measure of our suffering," the young woman said with a bitter smile. The beauties had fought off furious competition to secure their chance to "enjoy the beautiful suffering" in the temporary "charm school", a vocational school in Beijing's northern Changping District.

The Beijing Organizing Committee for the Games of the 29th Olympiad (BOCOG) selected 297 beauties from a dozen Beijing colleges such as the Communication University of China, the University of International Relations, and Beijing Technology and Business University, said Wang Ning, deputy division chief of the Sport Representation and Victory Ceremony Division of the Culture and Ceremonies Department, BOCOG. The other 40 were selected from more than 1,700 candidates from Shanghai top-level universities, Wang added. All the girls were picked by experts from various professions, including models, body-shaping teachers, journalists, singers, dancers and athletes, based on specific standards of their body shapes and facial features, Wang said. A hostess needs to be a college student with good education background. She needs to be between 168 to 175 cm and good looking, which was specified in statistics of the sizes of bust, waist, hip and even mouth, nose, and eye, Wang said, but she refused to reveal the numbers.

"It was only a reference for the experts and some girls failing to accord with the size were also selected because of their beauty and passion," Wang said. Yang Xu said she had been in a selection process since last May. The previous rounds were done in her college, Beijing Yixian Professional Education Institute. "It is a chance, a god-given chance, to be more accurate, as China has been longing to host the Olympics for 100 years. I simply want to be part of it for the experience and to improve myself," Yang Xu said. Her feeling was exactly shared by many other women, including apair of 19-year-old twins named Li Ziye and Li Xiaoye.

The twins had always been eye-catching among the hundreds of beauties. They said they will probably be the hostesses for the first gold medal of the Games as athlete guides at a shooting venue. They had undergone a strict timetable from 6:30 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., regulating their life from getting up in the morning to falling asleep at night. They are scheduled to run in the morning and have classes all day until 8:30 p.m.. The training was hard work but there were lighter moments, said the elder sister Li Ziye. She said they were trained to smile with eight teeth exposed and look at the camera flashes without blinking. "We should not blink even if tears come out," Li Ziye said, with eyes opened wide.

"People always confused by us. I was always blamed by the teacher when my sister did something wrong. Some even thought there was a mirror when we were sitting face to face," the younger one Li Xiaoye said, chuckling. Many girls have made good friends during these days because of the shared experiences. "I've made many new friends here. They helped me a lot, which touched me sometimes deeply," Yang Xu said. "The victory ceremony will be the faces of China's Olympics as a necessary part of the Games," said Cai Fuchao, vice mayor of Beijing, at a start-up ceremony for volunteers on Sunday. The ceremonies had been designed with many traditional Chinese elements, the deputy division chief Wang Ning said.

The hostesses had been trained to be beauties both inside and outside, Wang said. The young women, with a classical Chinese temperament, would send messages of Chinese implicit beauty in each simple move as taught in the classes, she said. Their silk costumes were also designed with traditional Chinese cultural images such as blue-and-white porcelain, embroidery and jade. The ladies were not only beauties, but well-educated beauties, said Wang who had added classes like security, making-up skills and handling the media.

"All of them can communicate in English without any problem, and some even can speak other foreign languages such as Spanish," Wang said. They had all been arranged to each single post in every venue and each of them know her duties well. "We have labored so much, simply to give for a few minutes a good impression at the Olympic victory ceremony as we want to show the most beautiful aspect of oriental ladies across the world," said the twin sister Li Ziye, with a gentle smile.
