"According to the latest application results, we still need a lot of volunteers with foreign language skills other than English," Li Binghua, executive vice-president of BOCOG, said.

Of course, these applicants must be able to communicate with other people in Chinese Putonghua, he said.

Volunteers will mainly be contracted in eight fields depending on their skills including VIP guest liaison and language services, driving, media services, competition organization, medical treatment, and security examination.
