(BEIJING, Nov. 7) -- Bad weather will not be a major concern for the Beijing Organizing Committee for the Games of the XXIX Olympiad (BOCOG) next year during the Olympics, reports Xinhua Agency.

BOCOG has already worked out plans for coping with various weather conditions during the Games, said BOCOG executive vice president Yang Shu'an Wednesday at a press conference.

China's national meteorological bureau promises accurate weather forecasts next summer that will tell people when and where rain will fall rather than the probability of rainfall.

According to Yang, at least six weather observation points and have been set up around the Olympic Green, where a cluster of Olympic venues is located. Updated weather forecasts will be available every three hours during the Games to facilitate timely decisions about contingency plans, he said.

BOCOG's precaution mechanism proved effective at last summer's Good Luck Beijing sport events, which in part served as tests for Games-time operations.

Yang cites the success of the Good Luck Beijing equestrian sport event in Hong Kong in August as an example.

"And when the typhoon really hit Hong Kong just on the event's opening day, we immediately informed the audiences and athletes about the rescheduling plan," Yang said. The typhoon provided a good opportunity to test BOCOG's readiness to handle weather emergencies, he added.

Weather is, therefore, not a chief concern for BOCOG at this point. For Yang, recruiting qualified workers and volunteers and increasing specialized training for personnel presents a greater challenge.

After all, most of the people involved in the Olympic Games preparations had limited experienced with sports beforehand, Yang said. And while the 19 Good Luck Beijing sport events garnered praise for the various areas of Olympic preparations, Yang said that BOCOG would continue to work hard in all preparatory areas.
