国际奥委会考察报告(摘要)

国际奧委会于7月13日公布了奥委会考察团对申办2000年奥运会的6个城市的技术报告。根据6个城市的英文字母排序,用23条技术标准逐一进行衡量,但没有给申办城市排名次。虽然这是一份技术性的考察报告,而非全面的报告,它并没有涉及文化、历史、社会发展等方面的因素,对申办结果也不能起到决定性的作用。但总的讲,报告反映了北京目前的情况。我们可以通过比较知道,我们具备了什么条件,还有哪些工作需要我们去继续努力。当读者手中拿到本期杂志时,2000年奧运会主办城市已于9月23日选定。无论北京能否成为幸运者,都应该说我们为奧林匹克事业做出了积极的贡献,让全国人民更多地了解了奥林匹克精神,也让世界更多地了解了中国,了解了中国改革开放的成就。
