Русская версияAs the Beijing Olympics draw to a close, International Olympic
Committee president Jacques Rogge said that overall the IOC
was extremely pleased with the Games.
He praised China's
organisation of the two week competition, but also pointed to
heightened environmental awareness and greater enthusiasm for sport
among Chinese as the legacies for China. He also looked forward to
the 2012 games, to be held in London, urging organizers to think
beyond material concerns like bigger venues or more volunteers.
Rogge skirted around questions regarding China's response on such
issues as human rights and media access.
