Utmost care will be taken to offer a good selection of quality food, Xu said. "All food and medical services will be provided according to the strict requirements of BOCOG."

More than 400 doctors and nurses have already undergone language and other special training, Peng said. Some other employees, too, will be trained in foreign languages and customs of other nations.
