Never too Hot to Cheer

"Jia You, Jia You!!" it echo's around the stadium. There are 200.000 volunteers who are in official cheering teams. They get free tickets to games where there are seats available.

Literally 'jia you' means 'add oil' and can be translated into 'go on'.

This group of 'cheering volunteers' are students of the General University of Nationalities and have had proper training of how to cheer and use the inflatable clappingsticks.
