The upcoming Olympics are a pageant not only for athletes, coaches and people who love sports, but also for those who really care about their health and want sports to be part of their life.

Of course I want to watch all the competitions but it is not possible. The competitions are not all in Beijing. I would very much like to watch the competition of Tajik athletes. I hope our athletes will not only show their will but also show their outstanding performances. It is very important for the Tajik team to participate in the Beijing Olympics; we really want to win some medals.

I want to emphasize that I hope Chinese cheer team will also support our team. As for myself, I love basketball, football and tennis the most.
