The golden hall of the Great Hall of the People is filled with a festive and enthusiastic atmosphere.

He said that the outstanding achievements of the Chinese sports delegation are not only a concentrated reflection of the development and progress of China's sports cause, but also a microcosm of the achievements of Chinese path to modernization, fully demonstrating the strength of China in the new era. The prosperity of national sports leads to the prosperity of sports, and the strength of a country leads to the strength of sports. China's ability to become one of the world's major sports powers and Olympic powers is fundamentally due to the continuous enhancement of its comprehensive national strength, which provides advanced technological support and solid material guarantees for sports competition training, and also creates a favorable growth environment and a broad mass foundation for sports talents in various fields to stand out. In the new era and new journey, comprehensively promoting the construction of a powerful country and the rejuvenation of the nation with Chinese path to modernization will provide better conditions and inject strong impetus into the development of China's sports. We must continue to vigorously develop the people-centered sports industry, promote the deep integration of national fitness and national health, and continuously move towards the goal of building a sports powerhouse and a healthy China.

On the competition field, everyone remembered the great trust of the Party and the people, and made solemn vows such as "national honor will always surpass individuals" and "my gold medal is dedicated to the great motherland", demonstrating the patriotic sentiment of putting the motherland first and striving for glory for the country, demonstrating the indomitable spirit of perseverance and self-improvement, demonstrating the precious qualities of unity, cooperation, and fighting side by side, and demonstrating the sunny temperament of the Chinese youth with confidence, optimism, enthusiasm, and friendship. You have shown the world the profound accumulation of China's excellent traditional culture, China's open, inclusive and enterprising style of the times, and the Chinese people's ambition, determination and confidence. The motherland and the people are proud of you and give you thumbs up.

On the field, everyone abides by the rules, respects the opponent, respects the referee, respects the audience, maintains good competition discipline and civilized etiquette, wins without arrogance, loses without discouragement, and has won gold medals in competition, morality, and style.

I hope everyone can guard against arrogance and impatience, continue to work hard, improve their training and competition skills, make up for their shortcomings, accelerate talent cultivation, and prepare for high-quality matches. Competitive sports and mass sports complement each other. We hope that everyone can further enhance the comprehensive strength of competitive sports, promote the vigorous development of national fitness and youth sports, and make new contributions to building a sports powerhouse.
