"From the perspective of the Beijing Winter Olympic Organizing Committee, we care about all athletes, not just Chinese athletes. We want all athletes to be able to pass the field and create excellent results. Yang Shu'an said.
"There is a very important tradition of the Olympic Movement, which is participation, not ranking itself. Many athletes in this Winter Olympics have created excellent results, which is not whether they have broken the Olympic record or won gold medals, but have made great progress compared with themselves. It's also a success for athletes. ”
At the same time, Yang Shu'an said that Chinese athletes in this Winter Olympics do not have clear performance indicators. "We want athletes to take clean gold medals, law-abiding gold medals, sportsmanship gold medals, not how many to take in each event."
"Of course, we want Chinese athletes to achieve good results." He said.
