The year before the first modern Olympic Games，Greece invited China to send a team.But the Qing government(政府)didn't send any athletes to the games.China did not take part in the Olympics until the 10th games，held in Los Angeles in 1932.There，Liu Changchun took part in the men's 100metre and 200metre races.He did not win any medals.

China won her first gold medal at the 23rd Olympics in Los Angeles in 1984，when Xu Haifeng won the men's free shooting event.China came in fourth with 15 gold medals in all.

At the 2000 Olympics in Sydney，Australia，China won the 28 gold medals，entering the top three of the medal chart for the first time.September 22nd,2000 was named China Day because China won six gold，three silver and one bronze medals on that day.

In 2004，the 28th Olympic Games were held in Athens，Greece.Two hundred and two countries took part in them.China got the second place with thirtytwo gold，seventeen silver and fourteen bronze medals.

We all know that in 2020，the Olympic Games will be held in Japan.We hope that we can win more medals so that we can get the first place.

He looked at the coach，with tears in his eyes，and said，“Well，you knew my dad died，but did you know that my dad was blind？”The young man said，“Dad came to all my games，but today was the first time he could see me play，and I wanted to show him I could do it！”
