Training is in full force for the 2008 Summer Olympic games in Beijing, but one type of training taking place doesn't involve a stopwatch or qualifying heats. Instead, it involves personnel who will serve the public and athletes at the Beijing 2008 Olympic and Paralympic Games this September.

BEIJING -- Two years to the day before the 2008 Beijing Olympics are set to begin, organizers heralded a smooth construction program and shared concerns about potential traffic and pollution problems.
