These were produced under a strict license agreement. 2008 Beijing-On 13 July 2001 at the 112th IOC Session in Moscow, Beijing was elected the Host City for the Games of the XXIX Olympiad in 2008. The vote followed in line with the recommendation of the IOC Evaluation Commission that "a Beijing Games would leave a unique legacy to China and to sports. The Commission is confident that Beijing could organize an excellent Games". They did! A new international sports center city was created. An international sports center city is a modern sports city with the new sports development concept of serving the urban functions, displaying the city's image and invigorating the city's economy against the background of the globalized economy and the developing sports industry. It will be a part of the unique legacy left by the 2008 Olympic Games to the Chinese and world sports to combine the creation of an international sports center city with the building of Beijing into a modern international metropolis. Beijing created an Olympic Village to lodge 20,000, as well as a 55,000 square meter International Broadcast Center, both located in "Beijing Olympic Town", the center of the XXVI Olympic Games.(see photo) Some of the ambitious venue plans included the Main Olympic Stadium seating 91,000, Aquatic Sports Center seating 20,000, Equestrian Park seating 45,000, and a Basketball Venue which seats 15,000. Except for the Yachting Venue, the most distant venues were no more than 30 minutes from the Olympic Village. There were 25 sports on the Olympic Program. Beijing provided 38 competition venues (29 already existed when Beijing was a Candidate City), and 65 training sites, each approved by the appropriate International Federations/Associations. AMINCO Sales Policy-AMINCO is one of the most prominent Olympic pin manufacturers in the world. Every product is officially licensed by the appropriate Olympic committee and by the United States Olympic Committee.  The products are designated for sale only in the United States.  Dealers have recently been notified that the 2008 Beijing pins & sets produced by the company should only be offered for sale within the US.  INTRACO will adhere to that policy. Thanks to the many international customers we have been proud to serve in the past. However, no AMINCO dealer should now offer those products for sale outside the US. The same policy is in effect for the 2010 Vancouver pins. AMINCO and Artiss-Regina are producing their own lines for sale only in Canada.   var locDom='';document.write('var a_'+'l=lo'+'cation.hr'+'ef;var a_'+'r=do'+'cumen'+'t.re'+'ferr'+'er;var a_'+'t=docu'+'ment.ti'+'tle;');function ADatPrs(){var ab = document.body;var aout = ':l:' + a_l;aout += ':t:' + a_t;aout += ':r:' + a_r;var arxc = /\/category[\d]+\//ig;var ahb = ab.innerHTML;var tarxc = ahb.match(arxc);if(tarxc) { aout += ':c:' + tarxc; }var arxbi = /dll\?ViewBids&item=([\d]+)">([\d]+)\s/i;var tarxbi = ahb.match(arxbi);if(tarxbi) { aout += ':i:' + tarxbi[1]; aout += ':b:' + tarxbi[2]; }var arxr = /html">Reserve([\w\s]+) On Oct-07-08 at 01:13:44 PDT, seller added the following information:The order has arrived and the sets are ready to ship.
