Rain to Participate in the Olympics?

Rain aka Bi is considering singing the theme song for this year's Beijing Summer Olympics. The Chinese Olympic Organizing Committee recently requested Rain for the gig. Initial impressions are that he most likely will do it. He turned down a similar request two years ago for the Doha Asian Games due to conflict with his tour schedule. But obviously there's a huge difference between the Doha Asian Games and the Summer Olympics. He just wrapped up filming for his minor role in the movie Speed Racer (Due to open in May), so there shouldn't be any schedule conflict this time. Does this mean Rain has to sing in Chinese? I would think so, considering all the past theme songs were in their respected native countries tongue. Maybe he can rehash the pimp classic South Korean 1988 Seoul Olympic Theme, Hand in Hand:
