BEIJING, China, Aug 21 \u2014 President Xi Jinping hailed Chinese Olympians on Tuesday for their performance and sportsmanship at the 33rd Summer Olympic Games in Paris, saying that they have shown the world the country\u2019s openness, inclusiveness and progress as well as the ambition, courage and confidence of the Chinese people.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe motherland and the people are proud of you and applaud you,\u201d said Xi, who is also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, during a meeting with China\u2019s Olympic delegation to the Paris Olympics at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.<\/p>\n

China claimed 91 medals at the Paris Olympics, including 40 gold medals. It tied with the United States for the most gold medals at the Games, marking the country\u2019s best-ever performance at an overseas Olympics.<\/p>\n

At 3:20 pm on Tuesday, Xi and other Chinese leaders arrived among the delegation members. He shook hands with some of them, chatted with them and had a group photo taken with the delegation.<\/p>\n

The president emphasized the unity, tenacity and outstanding performance of the delegation at the Paris Olympics, congratulating them warmly and extending his best regards to those working in the sports sector throughout the country.<\/p>\n

Xi noted that the exceptional performance of the Chinese sports delegation would promote Chinese sportsmanship and the Olympic spirit.<\/p>\n

Sportsmanship and ethics<\/h2>\n

He praised the delegation for upholding sportsmanship and ethics, earning widespread respect and recognition, and showcasing a positive image of China in the new era. He said the Chinese athletes have won gold medals in competition, ethics and demeanor.<\/p>\n

Xi emphasized that the outstanding achievements of the Chinese sports delegation not only demonstrate the progress in China\u2019s sports development, but also reflect the accomplishments in Chinese modernization, fully demonstrating the strength of China in the new era.<\/p>\n

He said that a strong nation leads to a strong sports sector, attributing China\u2019s success to the continuous enhancement of comprehensive national strength and the advanced technological support provided for sports training.<\/p>\n

The fact that China has been able to establish itself as a major sports country in the world and a strong Olympic nation fundamentally lies in the continuous enhancement of comprehensive national strength, Xi said.<\/p>\n

The modernization drive in the new era to advance the building of a strong country and national rejuvenation will undoubtedly provide better conditions for and give strong momentum to the development of China\u2019s sports industry, he added.<\/p>\n

Continous improvement <\/h2>\n

Xi urged the delegation members to maintain their ethical standards and sportsmanship in the upcoming Olympic cycle, emphasizing the importance of continuous improvement, talent development and high-quality preparations for future competitions.<\/p>\n

He encouraged them to enhance their overall competitive strength and promote national fitness and youth sports, thus contributing further to the construction of a strong sports nation.<\/p>\n

China has become one of the world\u2019s most competitive sporting nations in recent decades. It made a number of breakthroughs in various events at the Paris Olympics, including tennis, boxing and swimming.<\/p>\n

Chinese tennis player Zheng Qinwen made history after defeating Croatia\u2019s Donna Vekic to become the first athlete from the country to win a singles gold medal in tennis.<\/p>\n

In rhythmic gymnastics, China became the first non-European country to finish on top of the group event at the Games by taking first place just ahead of Israel and Italy.<\/p>\n
