At the closing ceremony Saturday morning, the organizing committee for the activities presented the Beijing Organizing Committee for the Games of the XXIX Olympiad (BOCOG) with a gift of an oversized Chinese knot, which was made up of 2,008 smaller, red Chinese knots forming the "Chinese Seal, Dancing Beijing" -- the emblem of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games.
BOCOG Executive Vice-President Jiang Xiaoyu accepted the gift on BOCOG's behalf.
The knowledge contests and Chinese knotting activities kicked off in May and were part of an annual Olympic-themed activity series. Aimed at promoting Olympic knowledge and the Olympic spirit among families, the activities attracted participation from 10 million children and parents across 31 provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regions.
Participants turned in more than a quarter of the one million distributed knowledge questionnaires and 30,000 varying Chinese knots to the organizing committee.
