You too can be an 'Olympic Champion'

You don't need to have the speed of Usaine Bolt or jump as high as Yelena Isinbayeva to stand on the podium at the Bird's Nest. Anyone could experience the exalted feeling of winning an Olympic medal.

The experience comes with a price tag. The "Be an Olympic Champion" tourist package at the Bird's Nest costs 120 yuan ($17). Only 2,008 people a day have the opportunity to simulate the "champion" act.

Visitors paying for the experience can don Team China's Olympic costume and go up on the top spot on the winners' podium, receive a bouquet from a lady in the reception and pose for a photo with a fake gold medal held between one's teeth.
