- Chinese Olympic Team Welcome Ceremony
- (Article and Picture by Ying Xie)
The biggest event today is the Team Welcome Ceremony for the Chinese Olympic Team. One hundred and
ten members of the China Olympic Team attended the ceremony. It's a lovely day to hold this ceremony.
The media, mainly from China and othe asian countries, swamped the site and surrounded top officials
and top athletes. Mr. Linhui Kong, number one table tennis player in the world, was overwelmed by the
mobbing reporters after the ceremony and had to run away to avoid never-ending questioning from the
reporters. Other athletes were asked to autograph. Anyways, it's a fun-filled day. Here are some
pictures to share with you:
