All in the Games

[2011-06-01 08:30]

If you ask any Chinese person what their nation's proudest sporting achievement has been over the past 30 years, Olympic success will be the most likely answer. Ever since Chinese athletes marched into the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum at the opening ceremony of the 1984 Summer Games to make their Olympic debut, China has been going all out in an effort to reach new milestones on the world's premier sporting stage. China's passion for glory and improvement reflects the official Olympic motto: Swifter, Higher and Stronger. Never has a society attached so much ambition, desire and identity to the Olympics as the Chinese, commented NBC anchor Jim Lampley in the lead-up to the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games. Although China's first world title dates back to 1961, when table tennis player Rong Guotuan won the men's singles event at the World Championships, it is the Olympic Games that best showcase the nation's international sporting success.
