Intense training for Int´l volunteers as Games approach

Nearly 300 international volunteers will work at the Beijing Olympic Games. They are students from ten universities in the United States, Britain and Australia and they have all arrived in Beijing.

Trainers from Infostrada Sports, a Beijing Olympics contracted sports news provider, are teaching interview techniques to the international volunteers.

These hand-picked students will work as "flash quote reporters" for the Olympic News Service Team at 31 competition venues and other sites. Their job is to record comments from athletes and coaches after their events for use by the media.
