Meanwhile, there are many famous athletes helping to realize the dream. There is no doubt that Chinese athletes have also made great contributions to it. What’s more, the Chinese led the way at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, winning 51 gold medals. Of course, more and more athletes have been attempting to push the boundaries of human achievement. So I look forward to seeing more outstanding athletes and successful Olympic movement that matches its past glory.
