Mongolian TVs Hail Beijing Olympics

Mongolia's four TV channels broadcast the closing ceremony of the Beijing Olympics live on Sunday evening, hailing the Beijing Games as a "great success."

A commentator from the TV 5 said the Games has drawn the world attention to Beijing and added a "fabulous" chapter to the Olympic history.

The opening and closing ceremonies, in particular, presented to the world excellent performances, marking two "China days" for all spectators.

China has fulfilled its promises of hosting a "green, high-tech and people's Olympics," which showcased China's fast economic growth and its increasing openness to the rest of the world, the commentator said.

The commentator also said Beijing was a "city of luck" for Mongolian athletes who won two golds and two silvers there, their best achievements at the Olympics.
