1. I loved the moment when the children′s smiling faces showed up. They looked so cute. The idea is really amazing I think. By the way, perhaps because my son′s baby face is one of them, I almost found it on the edge of the screen. Wow ... I love it so much. China got a rock this time.

2. It is time to live it up and enjoy. Yes, China invited friends from all over the world. Just like other big parties, there'd be envy, and jealousy, and jerks acting out; but most will come with goodwill and join the fun. We hope you are one of the latter, the majority who come and help us Chinese celebrate.

3. China and all the Chinese people should be proud of their success and take pride in their achievements. All Chinese people must understand one another and stand shoulder to shoulder as brothers and sisters in order to achieve success and be one proud nation!
-- Roger, Canada

4. I share in your personal joy. I hope that relations between our two countries continue to improve for in my heart I truly believe that most American people really like the Chinese people, and I think the Chinese people feel the same way.
-- Rick, USA

5. Though my country has only 16 million people, we want to be in the top 10 among medal winners. I wish China a successful and happy Games. By the way, I love the theme song ... "Welcome to Beijing."
-- Wim, the Netherlands

6. The outlook for Beijing is excellent. The "home team" usually sees a significant improvement in its medal count, and China will certainly follow this model. I predict 43 gold medals for China, which would certainly "win" the medal race. I won't be surprised to see China win 45-50.

7. Although the total gold or overall medal tally confer bragging rights, this is but a secondary consideration in Olympic competition . To most sports fans, the keenness of the competition in good sportsmanship is the thrill.  The friendship crafted from competition is way above the national and patriotic blinkered views.
-- Mengzhi, Australia

8. Yes, give Liu Xiang a break. Obviously he would be keen on doing his best, and not just because you expect it, but because he wants to. What matters is that he does his best. That is the most we can expect of anyone. I think that is what the Olympic spirit is about: doing your best.
-- Changcheng, China
