The vice president of the bid committee, Zhang Jiandong, told reporters that air quality at the rural sites for the skiing and sliding events was already very good. The problem, he said, was Beijing’s urban core where the main athletes’ village will be located, along with the indoor arenas for skating, hockey and curling. Zhang said Beijing’s urban center expects a 25% reduction in PM2.5 pollutants under a five-year plan begun in 2013 to close coal-fired power plants and other major polluters. VIETNAM’s prime minister orders a swift investigation into a scaffolding collapse that killed 13 workers and injured dozens, while a unit of South Korea’s Samsung Group involved in the construction project offered initial assistance to victims’ families.

  • CDOS 77) Est Heureux De Vous Présenter, En Ce Début D’Année 2015, Son Guide « 100% Bleu »
    Le Comité Départemental Olympique et Sportif de Seine-et-Marne (CDOS 77) est heureux de vous présenter, en ce début d’année 2015, son guide « 100% bleu ». Lancé en 2011, ce document réunit tous les seine et marnais sélectionnés en Equipe de France, soit pour les Championnats d’Europe ou du Monde, soit pour les variantes des Jeux Olympiques (comme les Jeux Méditerranéens, Jeux Mondiaux ou Jeux de la Francophonie). Notre objectif est simple : valoriser tous ceux qui ont porté haut les couleurs du 77, afin de mieux les connaître et de mieux les « supporter ». Dans ce « 100% bleu », les champions sont présentés ville par ville, avec des zooms sur les athlètes susceptibles d’être sélectionnés pour les prochains Jeux Olympiques 2016 (reconnaissable avec ce logo ). Par ailleurs un autre visuel permet d’identifier les athlètes qui ont reçu le Trophée de l’Espoir, récompense qui va fêter en 2015 son quart de siècle. Nous adressons nos félicitations aux champions, à leurs clubs, à leurs villes ainsi que nos encouragements pour 2015.
