北京奥运会已经结束,全球的目光开始由北京转向下届奥运会的举办地伦敦。在 2012 年之 前的这 4 年时间里,身为伦敦奥运会协调委员会主席的奥斯瓦尔德将作为国际奥委会的代表,时 刻关注着伦敦奥运会筹备进展。同时,奥斯瓦尔德还是现任世界赛艇联合会主席。

1) 奥斯瓦尔德表示对以后几届奥运会来说,北京奥运会无疑是一个很好的榜样。同时他认为伦敦奥运会不应该一味重复北京奥运会的成功之处,因为奥运会在不同的国家举办就应该有不同国家的特色。
2) 奥斯瓦尔德表示他一直坚信北京不会有空气质量的问题,现在来看这种做法是对的。他认为北京并不是一个空气污 染非常严重的城市,至少不会比世界上其他城市厉害。

The world witness the Beijing’s success.
奥斯瓦尔德提到从奥运场馆到奥运村之间的方便交通。由此可见，中国政府切实解决了交通问题。
北京奥运是一个完完全全的成功。
整个世界见证了北京的成功。
