French President Emmanuel Macron extended his congratulations to Chinese athletes for their remarkable achievements at the just concluded Paris 2024 Olympics during an exclusive interview with Chinese state broadcaster CCTV on Sunday.China finished second in the overall medal table at Paris 2024, with 40 gold medals, 27 silver medals and 24 bronze medals, marking the country's best performance at an overseas Olympic Games.
Macron praised China's longstanding commitment to sports, highlighting the nation's huge success in disciplines ranging from table tennis to swimming.
The Chinese athletes made historic breakthroughs in various events, including the men's 100m freestyle, women's tennis singles, the rhythmic gymnastics team, synchronized swimming, women's boxing, table tennis and diving.
Over the years, China has invested heavily in the field of sports, becoming one of the top two athletic powers in the world. Congratulations on China's achievements in various events, from table tennis to swimming, among many others, which demonstrate China's ability to cultivate outstanding athletes and inspire the world, said Macron.
In discussing the accomplishments of both French and Chinese athletes, Macron emphasized the rise of new talents, including France's 22-year-old swimming athlete Léon Marchand, who won multiple gold medals. He drew parallels between Marchand's success and the pride felt by Chinese citizens for their own champions.
The interview, conducted at the Élysée Palace, also touched on the broader significance of the Olympic Games. Macron emphasized that the event showcased not only athletic charm but also the power of sports to inspire future generations.
The interview also addressed the importance of maintaining peace and unity during the Olympics, with Macron reiterating a joint appeal he had made with Chinese President Xi Jinping earlier this year for a global ceasefire during the Games.
Peace can only be achieved through dialogue with enemies, so it is crucial to respect the other side and maintain communication, he noted.
