2008奥运会英语作文

"The Games of the 29th Olympiad in 2008 are awarded to the city of Beijing." 

The International Olympic Committee selected the Chinese capital as the 2008
host in Friday’s vote during Juan Antonio Samaranch’s last IOC session as president.The attraction of staging the Games in a country
which has the world’s largest population, as well as huge economic potential,
won the IOC’s heart. 

Beijing defeated four other bidding cities, including Toronto and Paris, to secure
the country’s first-ever Olympics. Osaka was the first city to go out, and it only
 took one more
round for Beijing to win the Olympic race. 

The announcement, read out by the 81-year-old Samaranch, was answered with wild jubilation from the Chinese delegation
in Moscow, and with fireworks in Beijing.IOC senior member Kim Un-Yong said after the voting that Beijing deserved the Olympic Games. 

"Beijing is capable of staging a great Olympic Games," said the 71-year-old South
 Korean. "The result wasn’t a surprise to me." 

With the motto "New Beijing, Great Olympics", Beijing promises to host a "Green
Olympics", a "Hi-tech Olympics" and the "People’s Olympics". 
The 3,000-year-old city is becoming a truly international city and showing a new,
vigorous image through its ongoing economic reforms. 

Beijing enjoys the widest popular support among the five bidding cities. A Gallup
opinion poll commissioned by the government showed 94.9 percent of the public
in favor of it. The IOC’s own surveys found support even higher. The Chinese
government has pledged
to spend 20 billion U.S. dollars building sports complexes and refurbishing the
Beijing infrastructure. There are plans for a new exhibition center with twin
skyscrapers that could be taller than any in the world.
