I have personally experienced the deep passion of the Chinese people and our Government leaders towards sports, towards sportsmanship, and towards the Olympic Ideals. I cannot remember on how many occasions I was moved and touched by this passion.

• 在我40余年的体育生涯中,我亲身感受到了中国人民和国家领导人对体育运动,对奥林匹克运动执着 的热爱和支持，对体育精神和奥林匹克精神的深刻理解,我已 记不清有多少次为此而激动过。
