I admire Chinese people and Chinese culture

Obviously we did not want to offend anyone and we did it exactly to express the opposite: we wanted to get closer to the Chinese people in a nice way.

We are all happy to come to China to these Games and we understand the importance of the Olympics for the Chinese people, we wanted to stay with them saying: we come here to stay with you! If we have offended anyone, we are sorry. Personally I would like to say very clear that I admire Chinese people and Chinese culture.
