President Xi Jinping issued a rallying call on Thursday for the Olympic spirit to be practiced in helping to realize the "Chinese Dream" of national rejuvenation.
25日，国家主席习近平号召践行奥林匹克精神，助力实现中华民族伟大复兴的中国梦。

《奥林匹克宪章(the Olympic Charter)》指出，奥林匹克精神就是相互了解、友谊、团结和公平竞争的精神(mutual understanding with a spirit of friendship, solidarity and fair play)。奥林匹克精神可以用the Olympic spirit来表达，类似的表达有the spirit of the Chinese women's volleyball team(中国女排精神)，the never-say-die spirit(永不言弃的精神)。

国家主席习近平25日下午在北京人民大会堂(the Great Hall of the People)会见第31届奥林匹克运动会中国体育代表团(the Chinese sports delegation)全体成员。习近平强调，我国体育健儿在里约奥运会上的出色表现，生动诠释了奥林匹克精神和中华体育精神(the Chinese athletes have demonstrated the Olympic spirit and the spirit of Chinese sports with their brilliant performances at the Rio Olympic Games)，为祖国争了光(bring glory to the country)，为民族争了气，为奥运增了辉，为人生添了彩，激发了全国人民的爱国热情和全世界中华儿女的民族自豪感，增强了中华民族的凝聚力、向心力、自信心(strengthen the nation's cohesiveness and confidence)，是中国精神的一个重要体现。

在里约奥运会上，中国取得了26枚金牌、18枚银牌、26枚铜牌的优异成绩，位居奖牌、金牌榜前三(China swept 26 gold, 18 silver and 26 bronze medals at Rio, ranking among the top three on the medal or gold medal tally)，续写了中国体育新辉煌。习近平强调，我们不以胜负论英雄。在奥运会这样高水平的竞争场合，没拿到奖牌，但在比赛中做了最好的自己的运动员，同样值得尊敬和表扬(those athletes who did not win medals but performed personal bests should also be respected and praised)。中国女排(the Chinese women's volleyball team)时隔12年再夺奥运金牌(win the first volleyball gold in 12 years)，充分展现了中国女排精神，全国人民都很振奋。

习近平还表示，希望把筹办2022年冬奥会、冬残奥会作为推动我国体育事业发展的重大机遇(take the preparation for and hosting of the 2022 Winter Olympics and Paralympics as a great opportunity to advance our sports development)，全力筹办一届"精彩、非凡、卓越(fantastic, extraordinary and excellent)"的冬奥会、冬残奥会，加快我国冰雪运动普及发展。最后，习近平用里约奥运会期间人们经常喊的口号结束了讲话：我们的运动员们加油！中国队加油！中国加油！(the president concluded his speech with well-known slogans during the Rio Games: "Go athletes! Go Team China! Go China!" )
