Excerpts:

...This result is for these two events a miracle in the history of the Olympic Games."

...After expressing his excitement, Xu Fengyan also expresses his regret on the problems emerged at this Olympics. "Speaking of regret, our table tennis team and badminton team are both young teams. We have the joy of success and the lesson of loss." He says:"It's inevitable for the young team to make some mistakes. But the key issue is how we confront them and conclude."

..."Besides, the Chinese table tennis and badminton also perceive the unbalanced development of the world table tennis and badminton. So we are engaged in working on development project and promote the development of other associations through our efforts", he says. "Only through making table tennis and badminton more popular around the world can we attract more audience, become more attractive and have a much brighter future."
