Host China has not only topped the medal table for the first time, but
also received numerous praises for the most successful games in the history,
local newspaper Youth reported today.
Regarding organization work, "the host
country has left strong impressions on the world and participants." Audiences
around the world have still remembered the grand opening ceremony bearing
China's traditional cultural identities, the newspaper said.
"During 16 days
of competition, the host country received almost no complaints about the
weakness of serving work, volunteers, and sporting facilities. More importantly,
the 2008 Games has been gigantic success in terms of qualifications (of
athletes)," the newspaper said.
The world has admired the great achievements
of China which gained up to 51 gold medals, compared with 36 gold medals grabbed
by the United States, the newspaper said.
China has the professional
investment and the elite athlete force, so its victory this time is convincing
to the rest of the world, local newspaper Vietnam Sport reported
today.
China, ranking the second in the Olympic Games four years ago, has
made, in the last seven years, careful preparations for topping the medal tally
for the first time. "They (Chinese athletes) won gold medals everyday. Nothing
could prevent them from advancing," the Vietnam Sport newspaper
said.
