on the news last week the national nutrition foundation (I think it was them) stated the following:

 

"All Olympic fanatics, should be careful how much they eat and drink during the games. They should also watch what types of food they eat, and should take regular breaks from the TV screen because it may have large effects on their health." It went on to say that its been that some have managed to put on an excess of 1 or 2 kg just during the game:\

lets hope they can see through the smog,it's terrible..it's like having a permanent fog!

News From Xinhua

 

The air quality in Beijing has improved dramatically in recent days thanks to the effective temporary measures, an International Olympic Committee (IOC) official said here on Wednesday.

 

　　"I am very surprised because I thought it would be different, but it's much better, much better," IOC's Olympic Games executive director Gilbert Felli told reporters.

 

　　"You don't feel bad when you breathe so it looks good, I'm confident."

 

　　Last Sunday, Beijing started a two-month-long control of vehicle use to ease traffic pressure and improve air quality for the Aug. 8- 24 Games. According to the restriction, vehicles with even and odd number of plates have to run on alternate days in the metropolis.

 

　　Felli, who is a member of the IOC's coordination commission for the 2008 Games and visited the Chinese capital regularly since 2001, said he was pleased with the overall preparations and felt less anxious at this stage than he had at previous Games.

 

　　"I'm very happy to see the level of preparation, the quality of the venues, the look of the city ... flowers and trees, it's fantastic," he said.

 

　　"You are always excited before the games. But I have to say, at some of the past Games, I was more nervous because a lot of technical problems were not solved, but here they are solved."

 

　　There were media complaining that the security around Beijing is so tight that the festive atmosphere an Olympic host city should have is hardly being felt.

 

　　But Felli jumped to defend Chinese organizers' efforts to host a safe Games, saying what they are doing now is in line with Olympics norms.

 

　　"I think the people have just arrived and maybe they've never been at the Olympic Games because it's always like this before the Games when they put in place the security," he said.

 

　　"If you go along to the Olympic Green in the evening you can hardly move because so many people are stopping to take pictures, so I can see some atmosphere."
