At Beijing 2008, host China sent its biggest-ever Olympic team of 639 athletes who finally won 51 gold medals, and stunned the world by standing on top of the medal table on home soil. By winning 51 golds, 21 silvers and 28 bronzes, China also relegated the mighty United States to second place.

2008年北京奧運會，東道主中國共派出了639名參賽選手，創造了中國曆屆奧運參賽人數之最，並最終獲得了53枚金牌，在家門口的土地上位居榜首，令世界爲之震驚。中國代表團獲得了51金21銀28銅，力壓實力強大的美國，雄踞金牌榜第一、獎牌榜第二。現在，中國着眼倫敦，陣容因男子110米跨欄明星劉翔的復出和游泳神童孫楊而強大。

However, the head of delegation seems not so optimistic. He said that the athletes from around the world had worked very hard for the Games and they were so eager to make breakthrough and won medals, so the competitions wiould be hotly contested.
