During a meeting at the Great Hall of the People after the delegations' return from Greece, Hu said the indomitable spirit and ethics the China's athletes demonstrated during the 17-day games "greatly enhanced Chinese people's self-confidence and sense of pride, and have become a strong spiritual force to push forward our cause."

He also called on the athletes to remain clear-headed and be aware of their shortcomings at the time of the historic victory.

He encouraged the athletes to strive for good performances at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games and make bigger contributions to China's endeavour to build a relatively affluent society in an all-round way and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
