Show the beautiful image of China
On August 22nd, the French newspaper Tribune published an article entitled "Olympic Games: China’s Charm Success".
The article said that all kinds of TV broadcasts kept broadcasting this image of Beijing, which was unknown to the West, for two weeks. Television viewers can see the high-rise buildings, amazing sports venues, perfect organizational arrangements and flexible postponement of the game time because of bad weather.
The government’s measures aimed at controlling pollution have achieved good results. The temperature is tolerable, and the sky is blue for more than half of the competition days: such summer weather conditions have been seen in the memory of Beijingers.
The traffic is smoother than usual, and public transportation provides convenient conditions for the audience to reach the competition venue.
Apart from the audience, the athletes are the most closely related to the Olympic Games. Most of them admit that they are very happy to compete in such venues. The impact of hosting this Olympic Games on Beijing has not been particularly manifested in the economic aspect.
Beijing will indeed attract more tourists in the future. In recent years, it has become one of the most international fashion destinations.
On August 24th, the Beijing Olympic Games closed, and athletes from all over the world left the most beautiful smiling faces in the live TV footage of the closing ceremony, sincerely wishing the Olympic Games a perfect curtain call. International Olympic Committee President Rogge smiled and gave a thumbs-up sign. Xinhua News Agency reporter Zhang Yanhui was photographed on TV.
The organization is perfect.
According to the BBC website reported on August 22nd, there is no doubt that the Beijing Olympic Games made the China government recognized globally.
Usain Bolt, the 100-meter flying man, broke the world record one after another, and swimmer Phelps won eight Olympic gold medals. Their performance was unforgettable.
There has been no major doping scandal, which helps people to focus their attention on the stadium instead of the disgraceful aspects of the Olympic Games.
But the Beijing Olympic Games has also been a success in organization. The venue construction was completed on time, and the Olympic Games went smoothly from the first day of opening.
The International Olympic Committee rarely has to contact the organizers in Beijing to eliminate the problems, and has declared this Olympic Games a success.
Even the air pollution in Beijing has disappeared most of the time. The city enjoyed the freshest August in 10 years, which was largely attributed to the emergency measures to reduce pollution.
Fredericks, a member of the International Olympic Committee and a former sprinter, said that he hoped to compete in Beijing. He said, "I wish I were still running. The facilities here are amazing. "
On August 15th, there were blue sky and white clouds over Tiananmen Square, and large clouds danced like "Phoenix", which attracted a large number of Chinese and foreign tourists. Xinhua news agency
The air quality is completely up to standard.
According to a report by RIA Novosti on the 22nd, the organizers of the Beijing Olympic Games have successfully fulfilled their promise to present Beijing’s "blue sky" to the world, and enabled athletes and VIPs to breathe fresh air.
The air in Beijing has always been criticized by people, but during the whole Olympic Games, the air quality in Beijing was completely up to standard, and there was no such thing as athletes complaining about the air quality as many people feared.
This was possible because the organizers had taken many measures before and the seasons changed naturally. The day before the opening ceremony happened to be the "beginning of autumn" in China. Athletes who had been frightened by media reports on Beijing’s air quality said that breathing in Beijing was completely normal.
Russian athlete Zvonareva, who won the bronze medal in women’s tennis at the Beijing Olympic Games, believes that despite the hot weather, there is no problem with breathing and the air is completely normal. After winning, she told reporters: "Everything is very good."
Lebedeva, a silver medalist in women’s triple jump, totally agrees with her. She said: "The air is normal. We were worried about the heat, but it’s not hot at all. It’s very comfortable here.
Andrei Slinov, the champion of men’s high jump in Beijing Olympic Games, said in an interview that Beijing is a very beautiful city, and Beijing has changed greatly in recent years. Compared with Beijing before, it is particularly surprising that such great changes have taken place in such a short time. He said that he personally had a feeling that as long as Chinese wanted to do it, he would certainly be able to do it!
Slinov also said that in this Olympic Games, China’s athletes performed particularly well, while the number of medals in Russia dropped a little compared with the last one, which was due to various reasons. The Russian team will sum up experience and correct mistakes, hoping for better results in the future. (Editor: Liu Ruichang)
