It's already tough for sportsmen, disabled sportsmen is tougher, then I get in contact with them, and held several activities.

There's many kind of volunteers, if taking down the results, it require time to train; another kind is driving, that during the Olympic Games, driving elderly, disabled to the venue to watch the competition, but I'm not familiar to the roads in Beijing, that would be rather troublesome. Another is to welcome special guests, does introduction at the airport, make sure their trip goes smoothly, whichever competition that they want to watch will direct them there, bring them to their seats at the venue, I'm sure I can do all this, but I'm not sure if I'm doing it will it affect them."
