He Zhenliang’s speech at the conference touched everyone present with sincerity.
CCTV.com News: He Zhenliang is from Wuxi, Jiangsu. He is currently a member of the Executive Committee of the International Olympic Committee. He used to be the vice chairman of the International Olympic Committee, the chairman of the Chinese Olympic Committee and the deputy director of the State Sports Commission. He participated in Beijing’s bid for the Olympic Games twice and served as the Chinese presenter of the bid for the Olympic Games twice, which is a landmark figure in Beijing’s bid for the Olympic Games from failure to success. His position, prestige and influence in the International Olympic Committee, his experience and excellent language skills, and his great physical and mental work in his later years have played an extremely important role in Beijing’s successful bid to host the 2008 Summer Olympic Games. He Zhenliang is a witness of the new China sports going to the world, and was once rated as one of the top ten most influential sports leaders in the world by foreign sports publications.
Details:
An unresolved contest between victory and defeat.
It is cruel to go with anxiety and wait for the verdict of fate. The whole process has to wait and hold on.
What great pain is hidden behind the smile?
Let the whole world see that the temporary setbacks we face in Chinese are definitely not that kind of dejection.
Why can’t he help crying when he leaves everyone’s sight?
When you know that the people have made such great efforts to support the bid.
In order to dream of the Olympic Games, he suffered several setbacks but never regretted it.
I must do my best to bid for the Olympic Games for the second time, as long as I am still alive.
"Face to Face" Wang Zhi’s interview with IOC member He Zhenliang is being broadcast.

Born in Wuxi, Jiangsu Province in 1929.
He is currently a member of the International Olympic Committee and honorary chairman of the Chinese Olympic Committee.
Former vice chairman of the International Olympic Committee, chairman of the Chinese Olympic Committee and deputy director of the State Sports Commission.
Participated in Beijing’s bid for the Olympic Games twice and served as the Chinese presenter twice.
It has played an extremely important role in Beijing’s successful Olympic bid.
Wang Zhi: He Lao, thank you for accepting our interview. I’ll show you something, too, remember?
He Zhenliang: That was thirteen years ago.
Wang Zhi: Thirteen years ago, and this is a very special moment.
He Zhenliang: Yes.
This is a souvenir that He Zhenliang wrote to reporters when interviewed by CCTV reporter Wang Zhi 13 years ago, that is, the second year after Beijing failed to bid for the Olympic Games. It is the light of the Olympic Games. On September 23, 1993, in Monte Carlo, Beijing lost to Sydney by two votes, and missed the right to host the 2000 Olympic Games.
Wang Zhi: I want to know why I failed last time.
He Zhenliang: I didn’t succeed that time, because I never said failure. There were inevitable factors and accidental factors.
Wang Zhi: What does it necessarily mean?
He Zhenliang: Certainly speaking from the conditions, Sydney is indeed better than Beijing in terms of infrastructure and environment. In addition, Australia has applied for the bid for three times in a row, so many people have some sympathy for Australia, which is its advantage.
Why do I say it must be accidental? I can tell you, you see, an old member of Egypt is a very good and good friend with us. He is in poor health, and his mobility is inconvenient. Originally, he wanted to vote in a wheelchair, but the doctor said that he, you really can’t leave. This is one vote gone, and the second vote, Slavkov of Bulgaria, is also determined to vote for Beijing./His passport has been revoked and he can’t go out. It is a matter of domestic political situation.
Wang Zhi: If these two votes are found back, it will be a draw.
He Zhenliang: Yes, listen to me again. It was a two-vote draw. Besides, on the evening of September 22, the president of the Australian National Olympic Committee invited two members from a certain continent to dinner, and each of them gave a check for $35,000. The public reason was that I supported the development of sports in your country. Do you have to support the development of others at this time? This is self-evident, isn’t it? This is what we didn’t know at that time. After the bribery in the bidding process of the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, USA in 1999 was exposed, Australia exposed it itself.
Wang Zhi: Then we have to ask you, why did you succeed the second time?
He Zhenliang: When we bid for the second time in Beijing, a committee member told me-that the political situation in the former socialist countries in Eastern Europe was very chaotic at that time, and I was worried about what would happen to China after your leader, Mr. Deng, 100 years later. Eight years have passed, and the development of China has proved that my judgment at that time was wrong, so I must vote for Beijing this time. What he said represents many European members and constitutes nearly half of their views in the International Olympic Committee. Their doubts were all dispelled in 2001. In this case, of course, we must consider the wishes of more than one billion people. China has never hosted the Olympic Games, and its sports performance is so high, its economic strength is so strong, and its political and social stability is so stable. Why not give it to China?
