Recently some reports said that China should have an aim that China to be the No. 1 in the Golden Metal List. They believe that as the host of the 2008 Olympics, China is in a more favorable stage than other countries. So it is natural to call on the athletes to have that aim. Others disprove that athletes of China already have great pressure. And the most important thing in Olympic Game is the play, the fair play. So it's not necessary to have such an aim. How do you think about it, my friends?

In the long long history of the Olympics I don't think it's ever been thought that the country who hosts the Olympics should be the country that wins the most medals. If that were the case, there would be a much different criteria in selecting which country would be the host for each Games.

China should just enjoy the immense excitement and pleasure that comes with hosting the Olympics. The Olympics is a time for all nations in our entire world to come together and compete, in honesty and sportsmanship, in games that test human physiological skill to the best of its ability. It's not the end result of who gets the most medals that holds prestige and honor--it's the simple act of playing the host to such an honorable and worthy event. China should already be proud for having won that honor (in a competition, I might add, that seems much stiffer in some cases than what's found in sporting events). A hundred years from now people won't remember who won which medal, but they will remember that 2008 was the year that Beijing hosted the Olympics.

And that's something to be proud of.

That's what we think for the winner of the international games. I kinda think that this kind of thoughts show the inconfident of Chinese.
