4. Acclaim for Luan Jujie: not for the gold medal, only for the love of country: Luan Jujie, the 50-year-old mother of three children, spent 15 months training and competing to rank number 42 in the world and number 1 in America after 36 branch matches before qualifying for the Olympic Games. What makes her so persistent? Luan Jujie said: "If the Olympic Games were organized anywhere else, I would not try out. I do so only because it is in Beijing, in my motherland."

The athletes who won the medals at the Olympic Games always win the most applause and good wishes. However, there is a group of people, who perennially work quietly and hard and who do not ultimately get gold medals, but exude an admirable Olympic spirit.

We should not forget all those who struggle for the Olympics, they are also Olympic heroes!
