Liu Yan Zhi (L), an etiquette instructor, talks to students during an etiquette training class at a vocational school in Beijing January 7, 2008. A small group of vocational students, mostly between the ages of 16 and 18, are going through physical conditioning as well as professional training for dressing and etiquette in order to be stewards for the service industry, but a select few will become stewards for medal ceremonies during the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

from wearing high heels for hours at a time and an achy jaw
from constant smiling are worth the chance of hanging a medal
around an athlete’s neck come the Beijing Olympics.
