If you have a plan to visit China during Olympic Games, you have another reason to cheer about.

China has mobilized some two lakh cheerleaders in an effort to stir up the spirit of spectators and any national team that needs morale boosting at the upcoming Beijing Olympics.

The number of cheerleading volunteers is said to be the largest in Olympics history. “The volunteer cheering squads have been trained and will lead a vast number of spectators in creating a festive atmosphere for the Games,” officials of the organizing committee told reporters.

As the Games is approaching, “volunteers are receiving an intense training”, Shen Qianfan, Deputy Director of the Coordinating Group of Beijing Organizing Committee of Olympic Games (BOCOG) Volunteer Department said.

In addition, during the Olympics and Paralympics, one lakh volunteers would provide direct services to both the Games and four lakh would provide information consultation, language interpretation and emergency aid services in Beijing and around Olympic venues.
