China news agency, Beijing, August 2nd (Reporter Huan Wang) Jacques, President of the International Olympic Committee? Rogge held his first press conference in the main press center of Beijing Olympic Games today. Apart from praising the Beijing Olympic Village, he also predicted that Asian sports would "wake up" in this Olympic Games.
Rogge, who ended the one-day meeting of the IOC Executive Committee, came to the press conference and still looked radiant, waving to the media who had been waiting for a long time. The Executive Committee ended the discussion ahead of schedule today, which, in Rogge’s view, is a good start for this Olympic Games.
Rogge, who attended the launching ceremony of the "Peace and Friendship Wall" in the Olympic Village on August 1st, was full of praise for this "first village on earth". "I am very fortunate to enter the Olympic Village and talk with Olympic athletes. They all think that this is the best Olympic Village in previous Olympic Games." Rogge recalled, "I myself have been in the Olympic Village since 1968, and the Beijing Olympic Village is very outstanding. This has also been recognized by national and regional Olympic committees and international individual sports federations. "
When talking about sports achievements, Rogge predicted that Asian sports would "wake up" in this Olympic Games. He cited the figures of the Athens Olympic Games: "China won 32 gold medals, which was close to 36 in the United States, and Russian won 29 gold medals. This competition will be very interesting, because the host usually wins more gold medals and medals. China, South Korea, Japan and other Asian countries will present good medal figures, which is very exciting and expected. "
Rogge specifically mentioned that some Iraqi athletes were allowed to participate in the Beijing Olympic Games at today’s Executive Committee meeting. "This also means that all 205 members of the International Olympic Committee will participate in this Olympic Games." The Beijing Olympic Games truly realized the great reunion of the Olympic family.
"A week before the opening of the Athens Olympic Games, we were still worried about whether the competition venues could be built on time, and the Beijing Olympic venues began to hold test competitions one year in advance." Rogge once again emphasized the IOC’s affirmation of Beijing’s Olympic preparations. "I am very happy to see that the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee has fulfilled its promise when bidding, and this Olympic Games will be very successful."
