This day, 25 November, in 1998, Beijing Mayor Jia Qinglin officially submitted an application to host the 2008 Olympic Games to Wu Shaozu, Chairman of the Chinese Olympic Committee. The ultimate winning of that bid, despite the unsuccessful previous attempt to host the 2000 Olympics, underscored China’s commitment to the Olympic Movement.
1998年11月25日的这一天，北京市长贾青林正式向中国奥委会主席吴少祖提交了2008年奥运会主办申请。 尽管之前主办2000年奥运会的尝试没有成功，但最终还是取得了胜利，这凸显了中国对奥林匹克运动的承诺。
