An Unqualified Triumph:
Take a bow China; An unqualified triumph capped on the final day by a Chinese gold, silver and bronze all from the one event. An occasion of special merit that had three proud young ladies singing their national athem in unison as three identical red flags rose together above the rostrum. A magical moment and a fitting climax that somehow said it all.
There are those who will call it a Pyrrhic victory but they are wrong. To China it is affordable, something the British will be hard pressed to say in four years' time.
