The International Olympic Committee awarded Beijing with the privilege of holding the 2008 Olympic game after a long and exhausting series of votes and polls. Since this moment on July 31 2001, Beijing has embraced this new honour and has done everything they can to make this Olympic year one of the best throughout history. You will find that they have created an Olympic mascot for the Olympic game 2008, known as 'Dancing Beijing'. This mascot or symbol features a stylized calligraphic character "jing" which means the host city.

The 2008 China Olympics have incorporated into the Olympic symbols and mascots for 2008 the five "Fuwa"- five different dolls, each of these a different color representing the colors of each Olympic ring and a different power. The Olympic slogan for these games,'One World, One Dream' is a great phrase to encourage people from all over the world to compete together in this one historical event that will take place in China of 2008. Athletes will compete in 302 events of 28 different sports; this is one more event than what was included in the Athens Olympics of 2004. The 10km swimming marathon is the new event swimmers will enjoy within the China 2008 Olympics.
Of course by having the Olympic Games within the city of China and even its surrounding cities, the Chinese government sees this as a great political opportunity for the world to see and appreciate the economic and financial status China has developed. The government has attempted to make efforts to compress any press coverage on the games, which of course has failed. There are many issues regarding the environment, human rights violations and more regarding having the Olympic 2008 game in Beijing.
