"Skill and self-confidence"
Volunteers recruited for this Olympic Games are divided into "expert" and "generalist".
"Expert" volunteers are required to have certain professional skills and be able to assist the officials of the Games to complete their professional work, such as assisting senior translators, emergency doctors, doping control officials or sports experts.
