Athletes from Beijing Olympics

Olympic's

Athletes from China that are worthy of recognising (in my opinion)

China

Lin Dan

Badminton Men's Singles – Gold
Flawless player, extremely fast playing won 2-0 every match at the Olympics!

Chen Jin
Age: 22
Badminton Men's Singles – Bronze
Masterful player only beaten by his fellow Chinese player Lin Dan in Semi-final 1 (unfortunately because of that unable to play LEE Chong Wei of Malaysia who took silver, I think Chen Jin may have won 2-1 against him)

Jiang Yuyuan

Olympics

Olympics

At 08/08/2008 at 8 O’clock we witnessed the beginning of the most successful and brilliant Olympic games in history brilliant athletes from all over the world.


Despite the worries there were no boycotts and only one country failed to attend due to some ‘form’ errors and deadlines

No matter what way you look at it China was amazing! The hosting was fantastic and there performance was remarkable

I will rate the scores for the top ten in 3 methods

1) Gold’s

2) Most medals

3) Points (gold=3 points, silver=2 points, bronze=1 point)

I will list Olympic games, Paralympics and there join score for the overall Olympic score table
