BOCOG disbanded one year after 2008 Olympics
The Organizing Committee for Beijing 2008 Olympic Games (BOCOG) was officially disbanded on Saturday, nearly a year after the close of the games described by International Olympic Committee President Jacques Rogge as “truly exceptional”.
Liu Jingmin, vice mayor of Beijing and executive vice president of BOCOG, made the announcement at a brief ceremony held Saturday afternoon at the headquarters of BOCOG.
BOCOG was established on December 13, 2001, exactly four months after Beijing won the right to host the 2008 Olympics.
