“新北京，新奥运”表达了我们在新世纪里，由一个既有古老文化传统又具有现代化魅力的城市来举办一届伟大的奥运会的愿望。我们申办的三个主题为绿色奥运、科技奥运和人文奥运。我们的目标是在我们的人民，尤其是4亿青少年中传播奥林匹克理想。届时，我们将与国际奥委会、各奥委会、国际单项体育组织以及各大赞助商、电视媒体等建立开放、高效的工作关系。中国古代一位圣人孔夫子说过：“有朋自远方来，不亦乐乎！”我们期待着2008年在北京张开双臂，迎接八方来宾。
New Beijing, Great Olympics reflects our desire to host a great Olympic Games in a city with both ancient culture and modern charm. The three themes of our bid are: Green Olympics, Hi-tech Olympics and the People's Olympics. Our goal is to spread Olympic ideal among our people, especially the nation's 400 million young people. We will work with the International Olympic Committee, National Olympic Committees, International Federations, sponsors and friends from the media to establish an open and effective working relationship. Confucius, an ancient Chinese sage, said, "Isn't it a great pleasure to have friends coming from afar!" We are looking forward to receiving all guests from every corner of the world with open arms in Beijing in 2008.

Formal athletics events include two groups: track events and field events. Track events are those that require speed against other athletes, while in field events the athletes compete in jumping or throwing. Track events include sprints, middle distance races and long distance races, as well as the four by one hundred meters relay and the four by four hundred meters relay. In addition, there are hurdle races and barrier races from 110 meters up to 3000 metres. Long distance races include the marathon and the men's 20 kilometers and 50 kilometers road walk, as well as the women's 10 kilometers road walk. Track events are measured by time, accurate to one hundredth of a second. Field events can be divided into two sections: jumping and throwing. Jumping events include the high jump, long jump, triple jump and pole vault. Throwing events comprise the javelin, discus, hammer throw and shot put. Field events are measured by distance or height in meters and centimeters. Every athlete is allowed three attempts to achieve a qualifying distance or height. If he or she is successful, the athlete progresses to the next round.
