He expressed his blessings and expectations for the Beijing Winter Olympics with Chinese: "I wish the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics a complete success." ”
Ruth said: "I'm very confident because I know how Chinese work and I know how Chinese focus on one goal. If they have a goal, they will fight for it, and everyone will fight for it. I think it's possible for Beijing to gain some experience from the 2008 Summer Olympics and carry it over into the Winter Olympics. There are a lot of people who were still working 14 years ago, and they're back to the organizing committee. So it's a very positive thing. ”
