China’s track and field athletes managed only two bronzes, with gold medal hopeful Liu Xiang pulling out of the defense of his 110 meters hurtles title due to a leg injury.

The United States topped the athletics table with 23 medals, including seven gold.

The Olympic hosts reaped a better harvest in the pool, snagging a gold, three silver and two bronze medals, but still a far cry from the 22 gold medals amassed by American swimmers.

Liu called on China’s athletes to make greater sacrifices and upbraided a “minority” of teams that had failed to fulfill their promise in Beijing.

“These (problems) require earnest reflection, to build courage from shame and to make up lost ground,” Liu said.

“As soon as we step off the podium, everything starts from zero,” he said.

China is great when judges are voting for their athletes.

They are good at ping pong and goodminton too.
