President of International Canoe Federation Urich Feldhoof said
Beijing has done a good job in its preparation to bid for the Olympics
during his recent visit to the Shunyi Olympic Aquatic Park and Beijing
Transport Administration of the city.
????
He said that Beijing has three advantages in its bid. First Beijing
has the best layout of the Olympic Village that will be a comfortable
residence for the athletes. Noting that many IOC members had been
athletes, he said that the Olympic Village will draw the most interest
from them.
????
The second advantage of Beijing is that the Olympic venues are located
close to each other, according to Feldhoof. He suggests that Beijing
should emphasize this point in its presentation to the International
Olympic Committee.
????
He noted that Beijing's bid has its strong support from the public,
which comprises the third advantage. He is much impressed by Beijing
citizens' aspiration for hosting the Olympic Games
