“I think the athletes' concerns are legitimate. There is pollution in Beijing,” he said. China's response to pollution worries was “still a work in progress”, but officials were doing “everything they can” to cut pollution.
Some Olympic teams are not as bothered about the pollution threat. Kenya, whose 37-strong track and field team includes four reigning world athletics champions, is relaxed. David Okeyo, secretary-general of Athletics Kenya and chef de mission for the country's Olympic athletics team, said: “I don't think [pollution] is a big issue. They [the athletes] love to adapt to whatever the situation is.”
对北京为奥运而努力净化污浊空气而言,如果你想知道运动员们有多大的信心,只需去检查一下他们携带的行李。
尽管中国政府多年来一再为空气质量做出保证,但很多顶级运动队仍将携带呼吸器具,或者尽量安排在最后一刻抵达北京。患有哮喘病的男子马拉松世界纪录保持者海勒•格布塞拉西耶(Haile Gebrselassie)已退出北京奥运会的该项赛事,但他仍计划参与1万米项目的争夺。
俄罗斯奥委会(Russian Olympic Committee)表示,他们的办法是尽可能让运动员待在室内,而且将把几支运动队最后的训练放在俄罗斯远东地区,而不是放在北京。该委员会的根纳季•瑞特斯(Gennady Shwets)表示,北京的空气污染“对我们的国家队来说当然是个重要因素”。
