Women's gymnasts have made history by winning 1st women's team gold medal.

As usual, daughter went to the piano class and wife worked days. In the evening, my clever daughter finished studying four dipthongs and grastped them very well. And other times, we continued to watch the Olympic games at home together happily.

Today is also so special a day for us Chinese people because women gymnasts won our first ever Olympic team gold mdal with a big victory over the United States team, scoring a winning total of 188.900 points and making a dramatical and historic breakthrough expected by us for decades. They finished 1st in the qualificaion round for the gymnastics. This is the fourteenth gold dedicated by Cheng Fei and another five debutants, Yang Yilin, Jiang Liyuan, Li Shanshan, He Kexin and Deng Linlin.

Chen Ying pocketed the fifteenth gold for our delegation in women's 25m sports pistol event, who made her incredible victory in the final round. Qin Kei and Wang Feng bagged the sixteenth gold, men's 3m springboard synchronized diving gold with their perfect performances. In the Water Cube, they ignited the home crowd, and fans roared for their dramatical and excellent performance.

Liu Chunhong, the defender in women's 69kg class weightlifting champion, pocketed the gold again with her fabulous and perfect performance. In Athens 2004 Olympic Games, she claimed the title easily and broke the world record in this event three times, and today, she broke this event's world record five times in snatch and clear & jerk. She is a great player and a very lovely girl and hugged her coach tightly and happily and delicated her supreme honor and achievement to her coach.

I have spent a pleasant and exciting day and been proud of our players' dramatic and terrific performances and confident demonstrations.
