In true spirit of the Games

Just as the Olympic Charter says that the Games is not only about winning, but also about participating, we should cheer for both winners and losers who try their best, says an article in Guangzhou Daily. The following is an excerpt:

Surprises mingled with pity on the first competition day for the Chinese team as some won with new records and some failed under unbearable pressure.

Of course every one in a game wants to win, but to the millennium-old Olympics, winning is just a small part of its connotations.
