In their message, the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the State Council of the People\'s Republic of China encouraged the athletes to stay focused on turning China into a sporting powerhouse. They emphasized striving for new heights in competitive sports and contributing to China’s modernization and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation. 💪🇨🇳
China wrapped up the Games with an impressive haul of 40 gold, 27 silver, and 24 bronze medals! 🏅 This monumental feat pushed China’s total Olympic gold medals past the historic 300 mark since Xu Haifeng clinched the country\'s first gold in the men\'s free pistol at the 1984 Los Angeles Games. 🎯
The deputy heads of China\'s Olympic delegation couldn\'t contain their pride at a press conference, praising the team for achieving the nation\'s best-ever performance at an overseas Olympics. 🌍🏆
Zhou Jinqiang, deputy head of China\'s Olympic delegation, highlighted some epic breakthroughs:
\"We made three breakthroughs in this year\'s Olympics. First, we competed in more events. China has participated in 232 events across 30 sports, the most in any overseas Olympics we\'ve been part of,\" Zhou said.
\"Second, we snagged more gold medals. The haul of 40 golds surpassed the 39 from London and the 38 from Tokyo. A total of 60 athletes claimed gold, marking a new record for overseas Olympic participation. Third, we topped the podium in a greater variety of events. Fourth, our gold medalists come from more provinces across the country.\"
Liu Guoyong, also deputy head of the delegation, gave a shout-out to the swimming team amidst recent allegations from the U.S. about doping tests. 🏊♂️💦
\"First, we accomplished the goal of 'winning clean gold medals.' Second, the Chinese swimming team followed international rules and actively cooperated with high-frequency doping tests, with no positive cases detected. Third, the Chinese government emphasizes winning clean golds in a moral style, staying resolute on zero tolerance for doping,\" Liu said.
With such stellar performances, China\'s athletes have not only made history but also inspired millions back home and around the world. Here's to pushing boundaries and reaching new heights! 🚀🌟
