罗格：这是一届真正的无与伦比的奥运会
The following is the full text of the closing speech delivered by Internationa
l Olympic Committee President Jacques Rogge at the closing ceremony of the Bei
jing Olympic Games on Sunday night.
Dear Chinese friends,
Tonight, we come to the end of 16 glorious days which we will cherish forever.
Thank you to the people of China, to all the wonderful volunteers and to BOCOG
!
Through these Games, the world learned more about China, and China learned mor
e about the world. Athletes from 204 National Olympic Committees came to these
dazzling venues and awed us with their talent.
New stars were born. Stars from past Games amazed us again. We shared their jo
ys and their tears, and we marveled at their ability. We will long remember th
e achievements we witnessed here.
As we celebrate the success of these Games, let us altogether wish the best fo
r the talented athletes who will soon participate in the Paralympic Games. The
y also inspire us.
To the athletes tonight: You were true role models. You have shown us the unif
ying power of sport. The Olympic spirit lives in the warm embrace of competito
rs from nations in conflict. Keep that spirit alive when you return home.
These were truly exceptional Games!
And now, in accordance with tradition, I declare the Games of the XXIX Olympia
d closed, and I call upon the youth of the world to assemble four years from n
ow in London to celebrate the Games of the XXX Olympiad.
Thank you!
