Someone lost an occasion to celebrate with us. I don't feel you should use such a symbolic occasion in this way.
We are having a party. A wonderful party.
These 10,000 are an extraordinary symbol of our country's will to be there, to participate in these Olympics.
We've done it. All together, with superb teamwork, with a lot of hard work and with great passion. . . . It has been a great celebration of sports.
We learned to know each other and know our differences. This is the way to build the culture of peace.
It's a great step forward and allows us to breathe a big sigh of relief.
We have learned that loyal competition and respect for the adversary are strong values of this fantastic party that we have lived together.
It is a route that will show all the beauty and variety of our country.
It's not an emergency, this can be handled.
We are trying our best to give you the best of our possibilities. We do not have any structural problems, but we do have a lot of details to fix before the games start.
