So far, it has been confirmed that 17 foreign marathon runners have signed up for it. They come from seven countries including Spain, Kenya, Tanzania, Ecuador, Brazil, Ethiopia and North Korea. 同时我们还邀请到曾参加全国马拉松锦标赛和奥运会马拉松选拔赛的国内运动员120人参赛。这些国内外优秀选手的加入，必将使本次比赛的竞争更加激烈，赛事更加异彩纷呈、引人关注。We have also invited 120 Chinese athletes who have attended other nationwide marathon championships and qualification competitions for the Olympic marathon. With the participation of those athletes from home and abroad, we are expecting a fierce, exhilarating and thrilling competition.其二，本次比赛选用的赛道在往年的基础上有所调整，更改后的赛道更加平坦，有利于运动员出成绩。Second, this year the race course has been readjusted based on last years results, to make it flatter and more conducive to better performance. 比赛线路中大部分路段位于环岛路和大型绿化广场范围内，风景如画，空气清新宜人，被许多专家誉为举办马拉松比赛的绝佳线路。Most of the route lies along Island Ring Road and its large-scale landscaped squares, providing beautiful scenery and fresh air.

In addition, prize money for athletes ranking second to eighth has also increased.我的介绍就到这里，现在欢迎大家提问。Thats all for my briefing. Now the floor is open for questions.2、体育与商业：阿迪达斯的品牌战略主题导入：节目主持人杨澜在德国世界杯后采访阿迪达斯总裁，探讨运动品牌的市场战略。杨澜：海纳先生，非常感谢您来到我们的节目。首先要祝贺这次精彩的世界杯给世界带来了巨大的欢乐和激情。我知道阿迪达斯公司在本次世界杯上业绩出色，你们一共销售出了多少个足球？Mr. 哈除了人， thank you very much for being in our show. First of all, congratulations on this wonderful World Cup that has brought to the world such great joy and excitement. Addidas did very well during this World Cup. How many soccer balls did you sell?Hainer: we sold a lot of soccer balls, around 50 millions, with the new design of Teamgeist Ball. This was definitely a number which we did not foresee before. But this Would Cup was great in lots of respects. Of course, for us as a company with our financial results, but I think more for the country of Germany because all of the German people turned into real football fans. 我们卖了很多足球。新设计的“团队之星”就卖了五千万个。这个数字我们之前都没有预见到。本届世界杯在很多方面都非常出色。当然对于我们公司，我们收获一些经济上的回报，但对于整个德国而言收获更多，它使得许多德国人成为真正的足球迷。杨澜：您有到比赛现场吗？您到现场看了几场比赛？Were you at the game? How many matches did you watch yourself?Hainer: Of Course Ive been to the games as I myself am a great football fan. I played when I was young. So I went to 19 games, many of them were exciting, some of them were mediocre. But honestly, I enjoyed all of them. 我当然看比赛了。我本人就是球迷，年轻的时候也踢过足球。我一共去看了19场比赛。很多都很激动人心，也有个别一般的，但坦白地说，所有比赛我都喜欢。杨澜：我听说阿迪达斯在本次世界杯上没有赞助很多球队。你们只赞助了6支球队，对吗？你们的竞争对手却赞助了12支球队。I heard that Addidas didnt sponsor many teams during the World Cup. You only sponsored six, right? And your competitor sponsored twelve?Hainer: Yes, this is correct and I got this question several times before the World Cup. And my answer was always the same. I said, “I dont think quantity is what counts, quality is what counts”. 是的，没错。世界杯前我也被问及这个问题多次。我的回答都是一样的。我说：“我不认为数量决定一切，质量才是关键。”The Second point I made, especially when we talk about our competitor who has twelve teams, is that after the first round you will see a lot of teams dropping out, and finally Addidas has more teams in the quarter final than anybody else. We have more teams in the semi-final than anybody else, and Addida-sponsored team won in the final. 我说的第二点，特别是谈及我们的竞争对手赞助了十二支球队时，是这样的事实在第一轮比赛之后，很多球队被淘汰。所以在四分之一竞赛阶段，阿迪达斯成为拥有最多球队的赞助商。在半决赛中，我们保持了这一领先位置，并为最重视阿迪达斯赞助的球队赢得了本届世界杯冠军。杨澜：随着例如北京奥运会这类大型赛事的赞助费不断攀升，您认为成为这类大型赛事的官方合作伙伴仍然物有所值吗？你们在销售上会有相应的回报吗？With the ever increasing amount of sponsorship for major events, like for example the Beijing Olympics, do you still think its worthwhile to be an official partner for the sporting events of this size and scale? Will you get enough returns from sales?Hainer: Definitely. Otherwise, we wouldnt do it. Nobody is forcing us to do it. I t is a good market strategy. If you look back at World Cup 2002, the World Cup in Japan and Korea, we were outfitting the Japanese team. Great world cup, lots of success. Addidas sold 650,000 Japan shirts at that time. And in 2005, three years later, we became the market leader in Japan. So you can see there is a benefit for us as a brand if you do it right. 当然，否则我们也不会这么做，没有人强迫我们这么做，这是一种正确的市场策略。回顾2002年的韩日世界杯，当时我们是为日本对赞助球衣。那一届世界杯对于阿迪达斯是一个巨大的成功。 我们销售了65万件日本队的球服。接下来三年后到2005年，我们成为日本市场的行业领头羊。所以，如果你的赞助方式正确的话，对于品牌的建立是有益处的。杨澜：那么，通过阿迪达斯和北京奥组委的合作，您想达成什么目标呢？ What do you want to achieve from your cooperation with BOCOG?Hainer: It is a logical question following my previous explanation. It is plain. Our target is to become the market leader in 2008 in the Chinese market. 接着我刚才所讲的话，这个问题的答案显而易见。我们的目标就是成为2008中国市场的行业龙头。杨澜：海纳先生，谢谢您接受我们的采访。也祝愿你们的产品能在中国市场取得成功。Mr. Hainer, thank you for this interview. We wish you every success in selling your products in China.Hainer: Thank you! The pleasure is mine. It was very enjoyable talking to you.谢谢！我也非常荣幸。很高兴与你交谈。3、IOC Presidents Speech at the Closing Ceremony of the Olympiad主题导入：国际奥委会主席罗格2008年北京奥运会闭幕式上的致辞Dear Chinese Friends,亲爱的中国朋友们，Tonight, we come to the end of 16 glorious days which we will cherish forever.
