Olympic Families arrive in Beijing

The dreams of the Marino family came true when they were named as one of the winners of the Web-based "Olympic Families Tour Beijing" competition.

"It's a great, great dream. We never thought we could make it," Argentinian businessman Vicente Antonio Marino, 46, said, as his family arrived in Beijing on Monday.

The 10 winning families from China, Argentina, South Africa, the United States and Germany, beat off competition from more than 12,600 other families from 62 countries and regions to emerge victorious from the three-month contest.
