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。
