Beijing, China, May 16th 2005 - Dr. Ruben Acosta and Mrs. Malú Acosta visited Beijing May 9-14, 2005 to discuss with BOCOG the selection of the site for the Beach Volleyball venue for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.
President Acosta and Mr. Yang Shu'an, BOCOG Executive Vice-President held a heated but frank and friendly discussion following a presentation made by BOCOG. After a long exchange of opinions, FIVB agreed not to insist upon keeping the Olympic Beach Volleyball venue in Tiananmen, while at the same time BOCOG agreed not to insist in having Beach Volleyball venue in the Olympic Green.
FIVB required BOCOG to secure the venue in question in the downtown area within the 4th Ring Road while BOCOG agreed to immediately report to the municipal government authorities so that a solution acceptable to both, BOCOG and FIVB could be found during Dr. Acosta visit in Beijing.
During his visit, Dr. Acosta paid a site inspection visit to Chaoyang Park and several other locations in the city downtown area in order to seek for the best possible options for the Olympic Beach Volleyball venue. On May 11, Mr. Liu Peng, Minister of Sport, President of the Chinese Olympic Committee, and Executive President of BOCOG met with Dr. Acosta at the office building of the State Sport General Administration of China and discussed several important subjects including the FIVB's continuous help to raise the level of China men's Volleyball and Beach Volleyball towards BEIJING 2008.
On May 13, Mr. Wang Qishan, Mayor of Beijing and Executive President of BOCOG met with Dr. Acosta at the office of the Beijing Municipal Government. In this occasion, the Mayor recalled the exciting moment he shared with Dr. Acosta during the Athens Olympic Games while watching the Chinese women's Volleyball team surmounting a 0-2 loss, in a thrilling final match against the Russian team, for a historic come back in the sport.
Concerning the 2008 Olympics, the Mayor explained that the Municipal Government faced great challenges and was forced to make some adjustments of the Olympic venues but expressed his confidence in staging a high level Olympic Games with distinctive characteristics in Beijing in 2008 and thus, even if the municipal government would need to take measures to overcome eventual difficulties to honour its commitment, the Mayor confirmed on its behalf their agreement with the last FIVB proposal deciding that the Olympic Volleyball venue definitely will be located in the Chaoyang Park. Dr. Acosta heartedly welcomed the Mayor and the municipal government for their decision and asked for a complete renovation of the 18,000 seats Capital Indoor Stadium.
