The Coordination Commission has concluded its final meeting with BOCOG, the Beijing Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games in the Chinese capital.

Chairman of the commission, Hein Verbruggen.

"BOCOG's operations are absolutely right on track. So to speak of the Olympics, there is every reason to believe that we will see here a gold medal performance in August, and that we will be able to marvel the superb organization of the Olympics, and also to mention obviously the Paralympics."

Member of the Coordination Commission Alex Giladi says he also expects a wonderful game in August.

"As I remember, the roof of the Athens Stadium was not coming together until the 15th of May. And here we are on the 3rd of April, and they are laying already the track in the National Stadium, to go for wonderful games, for the athletes, for the spectators, for the media."

Air quality has been a hot topic as the Olympic Games is getting closer. BOCOG Executive Vice-President Wang Wei says a series of actions will be taken to ensure a clean environment.

"Ever since 1998, Beijing has invested 120 billion dollars and kept investing more in this area. Apart from reducing the number of vehicles on the road, more measures will be taken to ensure good air quality, including promoting clean energy, reducing gas emissions, moving away big polluters, and controlling dust in the air."

Beijing witnessed nearly 250 days with good air quality last year. That's more than double the number recorded 10 years ago.
In addition to examining a total of 44 functional areas, the commission members also spent time appraising the physical readiness. They visited the Olympic Green and some of the venues.

The Coordination Commission is appointed by the IOC to oversee the operational aspects of the Games.
