The twentieth gold medal! Yang Wei won the men's individual all-around gold at the Beijing Olympic Games gaining China another title. Yang could forget his No. 2 status and finally celebrate. He has been waiting for this gold for a long time. Congratulate Yang on his Olympic grand slam.
Where there is a will, there is a way.
We should never give up, for we will reach our goals sooner or later. We've been waiting for this gold for 12 years and Yang Wei performed excellently today, bringing us closer and closer to this dream. Yang was sure to win this gold for China -- even before his last horizontal bar routine -- because of his unshakable advantage. When Yang finished his movements flawlessly, the gym lit up. We were so excited for this gold medal, and only by shouting out congratulations to Yang could we express our happiness. Well done, China! Three huge surprises in three days!
