Introduction
The Beijing Games showed the world what the Olympic Games really are: a gathering of young people who share the same goal and the same enthusiasm for sport. They have impressed the world with their immense enthusiasm for the Games and their warm support for all competing athletes, regardless of their nationality, race or sport. The world has seen the hospitality, kindness and tolerance of the Chinese people through the performance of millions of volunteers, cheerleaders and spectators. Through these Games, the world learned more about China, and China learned more about the world. Athletes from 204 National Olympic Committees came to these dazzling venues and awed us with their talent. The Beijing Olympic Games have helped the world to better understand China’s social system and development mode, and have added impetus to China’s opening-up to the outside world.
Beijing Olympic Game: One World, One Dream
The world today is in need of mutual understanding, inclusiveness, cooperation and harmonious development. The Beijing Olympic Games is a testimony of the fact that the world has its trust rested upon China. Owing to the Games, people have been united as one Olympic family, regardless of their nationalities, ethnic origins and cultural backgrounds. Their understanding has been deepened and their friendship renewed. The Chinese people, teeming with enthusiasm, have honored the commitments they solemnly made. We have realized the concepts of “Green Olympics, High-tech Olympics and People’s Olympics”, leaving a huge and rich legacy both in culture and sport.
Beijing Olympic Games with Both New and Old Sport star and their spirit
New stars were born. Stars from past Games amazed us again. We shared their joys and their tears, and we marveled at their ability. We will long remember the achievements we witnessed here. As we celebrate the success of these Games, let us all together praise for the talented athletes who participated in the Paralympics Games. They also inspired us. To the athletes, they are true role models. They have shown us the unifying power of sport. The Olympic spirit lives in the warm embrace of competitive rivals from nations in conflict. Keep that spirit alive. These were truly exceptional Games!
Beijing Olympic Games and Modern Civilization
The Beijing Olympic Games also mark the integration of the Western civilization with the Chinese civilization. The Olympic spirit, which underlines respect for the rules, encouragement of participation and fair play, has left a precious spiritual legacy. Just as the IOC predicted seven years ago, the Beijing Olympic Games would leave a unique legacy for both China and sport as a whole world regardless of their nationality, race or sport. The Beijing Olympic Games have also greatly promoted the development of the Olympic Movement. The Olympic Games have become a symbol of modern civilization since their revival 112 years ago. However, such a symbol would have been incomplete if the Games had not come to the origin of the oriental civilization and the home of one fifth of world population. It was a libration of sport, a grand celebration of peace and a grand celebration of friendship.
Beijing Olympic Games and Cultural Exchanges
That noble sportsmanship the athletes from various countries demonstrated. What impressed me most was the Olympic spirit they displayed. The Beijing Olympic Games is an occasion to spread modern Olympic ideas, while displaying splendid Chinese culture, Beijing’s historical and cultural heritage, and its resident’s positive attitudes. It was an opportunity to advance cultural exchanges, to deepen understanding and friendship between the peoples of the world, and to promote harmonious development between mankind and nature. It will be a time to promote healthy interaction between individuals and society and to foster mental and physical health. In line with the people-oriented and ‘athletes-centered’ ideas, Beijing spared no efforts to provide a natural and social environment that will satisfy all the Games’ participants.

The Beijing 2008 Olympic Games: Sport and HIV & AIDS

Participation in sport benefits people living with HIV: moderate exercise indeed strengthens the
Immune system better equips the body to fight HIV and may delay the onset of AIDS. Sport also provides an arena for social inclusion and support. Involving HIV-positive sportsmen and women proves extremely valuable in normalizing HIV and fighting stigma. Sportsmen, and in particular successful athletes, are role models - their voice is hence another way to drive home prevention and care messages. The sports community in China is involved in the prevention of HIV through advocacy work for healthy lifestyles during major competitions of popular sports. Sports icons, such Yao Ming, are actively working as ambassadors of the HIV & AIDS cause to promote awareness among the public and children.

Beijing Olympic Game and Women Participation

Four years after the first Olympic Games of the modern era in Athens, women took part in their first Olympic Games, in Paris in 1900. Despite the reticence of the reviver of the Games, Pierre de Coubertin, 22 women out of a total of 997 athletes competed in five sports: tennis, sailing, croquet, equestrian and golf. With the 1970s, and the growing awareness of the role of women in the world, female participation in sports competitions and in the Olympic Games became higher. At 29th Beijing Olympic game, women’s participation was even more and proved the sense of sex equality.
