Everyone rises for the Olympic anthem. Even though it was only practice, but when we saw the flag rise, I couldn't be more proud to be able to participate in this event, as everyone will watch China succeed this time.

Playing the Olympic anthem in the background as everyone is watching the flag rise above their heads. This last event concluded our two days of training. Even though there were problems on both the NOC workers' side and on our side, it was a prosperous two-day event, where I have familiarized with my job more. Now I feel ready welcoming the athletes, as they will arrive within 3 weeks.
