First Day of Beijing Olympics ( 2 Gold Medals)

Today is August 9th, 2008, the first day of the Beijing Olympics.

The first Chinese athlete who gets a Gold medal in Beijing 2008 Olympic Games is CHEN Xiexia (
陳燮霞) from Guangdong. Today she wins the medal in the 48kg Women weightlifting Game. She lifts 95 kg weight in “Snatch” and 117 kg in “Clean & Jerk” making a total of 212 kg. It is a new Olympic Record in her class. Congratulations to her great success!

Another hot favour, our Chinese athlete, DU Li (杜麗), the Gold medalist in the Women's 10-metre Air-Rifle Shooting Game last time in Greece (2004), loses her Game this year. To her disappointment, she only comes fifth.

The second Chinese Gold medalist is PANG Wei (龐偉). He becomes the champion in the Men's 10-metre Air-Pistol Shooting Game this afternoon.
