US Olympic & Paralympic Committee thanks Beijing for holding 'impressive' Games

[superadmin]

The US Olympic and Paralympic Committee thanked the Beijing Winter Olympics organizing committee for holding such an impressive event and the Chinese Embassy in the US for its assistance for the US delegation to visit China to participate in the competition, and it also spoke highly of the great significance of the Ping-Pong Diplomacy 51 years ago for bilateral ties. 

Experts viewed it as an epitome of the strong friendship between the peoples of China and the US, and said that sports are beyond politics. They hoped that decision-makers in the US would get the message to do something good for the development of bilateral ties on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of former US president Richard Nixon's 1972 trip to China.

Susanne Lyons, chair of the US Olympic and Paralympic Committee (USOPC) recently congratulated the Beijing Organizing Committee for the 2022 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, for holding a successful event amid the epidemic, saying US athletes were very satisfied with the facilities and services at the Beijing Winter Olympics, which were "impressive," media reported on Wednesday.
