    BEIJING, Aug. 16 (Xinhua) -- The official Chinese insurance partner of the Beijing Olympics said it had received more than 1,000 Games-related injury cases by Saturday. No serious cases were reported.

    He said there were no cases of serious human injuries or severe vehicle damage. For those rare cases involving in-hospital treatment, PICC staff offered one-to-one service and paid for the treatment upon the recovery of the injured.

    According to Ding, Games-related service covers 150,000 people and 8,000 vehicles.

    PICC P&C is the largest non-life insurer in China.
