I think one of the neatest things about the Beijing Olympics and Paralympics was the endless number of Chinese volunteers that were everywhere. There were information stations set up across Beijing and streets would be lined with these blue and white t-shirt wearing folks, always willing to help out. There were times that Catherine and I would use a volunteer booth just to make sure they felt they were being useful! The volunteers really were the front line and the backbone of Beijing's successful games.
Here they are carrying China's flag for the Paralympic torch lighting rehersal at the Temple of Heaven.
