It's the winning, not the taking part that counts 12:44pm on 17 Aug 2008 derekjoe, well said!!!!

yes, winning is important and the gold medals look more shinning than the bronze ones!
but it's not all about winning!!!
Mihir Bose, I wish you could change your perspective in observing China, not as a journalist but as a ordinary human being with emotion and understanding. Chinese athelets bear a lot of pressure because they are winning for their country and they carry the hope of their people! they are not just winning for themselves!
please don't use those communist phrase just because it sells.
If you ask the Chinese who they think the hero is in beijing's game, I bet many would tell you it's the Iraq team!!! medals means nothing when comparing to what the Iraq team have gone through, they already became the champion when entering the game!!!
Let the real Games begin 4:39pm on 15 Aug 2008 well said! LondonYC!
I was watching women volleyball US VS CHINA earlier, it was a wonderful game although China lost.
just like many other Chinese, I used to criticize Lang ping as she went to US to help their team. but now I realise what she did is actually the best way to improve the game!
it's boring to watch a game between a strong team and a weak team.
Never think we are not so good at this and we are doomed to loose. People from any country have the possiblity to be the best at any sport!
Final humiliation in the park 4:20pm on 15 Aug 2008 no need to feel ashamed, Tom!
grandpa Ma (the chinese way to call old people) had gone through the culture revolution days. he's tough!
ur victory is guaranteed if u play ping pang with me!
I've never played ping pang in China because I don't enjoy loosing.
Anyway, glad u enjoy the little game in China!
Is Phelps really the greatest? 3:09pm on 14 Aug 2008 yes, Phelps is amazing! but a weight lifting gold medal is equally great as a swimming gold medal. can one get 8 weigt lifting medal at 1 olympcis game?
is swimming more important than other sports?
There is never the greatest! for me, any winner of the gold medals is equally great!
