Jacques Rogge, president of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) spoke highly of China's National Games when he came to Nanjing, the capital city of eastern Jiangsu Province, to attend the opening ceremony of China's 10th National Games.

Zitat:

"I know the importance of China's National Games, and it is not only for the athletes but for the whole population," Rogge said while meeting Liu Peng, director of China's State Administration of Sports, and other Chinese officials of the Chinese Olympic Committee.

"There is no doubt that after the great success you have achieved in Athens last year during the Olympic Games, and with the preparations that you have now for the National Games, I would not be surprised if China would lead the medal count in 2008 Beijing Olympic Games."
