Definitely, China did a fabulous job in Beijing Olympic. We got 51 golden medals and 100 total medals. That’s incredible. We expected that China would win 40golden medals but actually we got 51!
Most medals come from Chinese original “super” sports. All the golden medals from table tennis, 7 golden medals from diving (Australia got the only other one), 7 golden medals from weightlifting (only 8 people per country are allowed to join the game)
9 golden are from gymnastics.
Also we also did well in other archery, taekwondo, judo, badminton, shooting, fencing. we got quite a few medals in those subjects.
But the problems we face today is also obvious. It seems that we don’t have any improvement in ball games, like Football, basketball ,volleyball, and handball. and as it’s known to us, athletics and swimming are two biggest subjects in the game and contains the most medals. But we only got 5medals in swimming and 1 medal in athletics. USA got more than 50 medals in these two subjects and so did Russia do. China still has long way to go in order to conquer the world.
Overall, we did a fantastic job at home. Well done! Congradulations !!
