The Olympic Games are starting soon in Beijing. People from all over the world will be competing to be the best. However, some of the world's greatest athletes are birds. Birds can travel faster, higher, deeper and further than any human. Celebrating the amazing achievements of birds, next month BirdLife will be running the BirdLife Games. This will be a series of online events designed to see if you can spot a winner. Given a line-up of avian competitors, we'll be challenging you to pick the winner for each BirdLife event. [1:24]
