Hostesses trained to perfection

Three hundred and thirty-seven hostesses for the Olympic victory ceremonies will graduate tomorrow after two months of training.

"I've always dreamed of being a hostess for the table tennis athletes," Yang Xu, 19, one of the lucky ones to be selected from 5,000 candidates who had applied for the job, said.

The slim, 170 cm tall Yang has been trained in dancing, etiquette, and basic Olympic-related knowledge.
