Olympic Games drew to a close

Those who won medals are happy and those who did not are agonized. This is how the Olympic Games drew to a close yesterday in Beijing, the capital of China. The next Olympic Games will be hosted by the UK in the year 2012. We are looking forward to seeing how GB fares in organising the world's Greatest Sports bonanza.

Are there any mistakes? Thanks.

I agree. However, we still remember sportscaster Jim McKay's now-famous line, "the thrill of victory, the agony of defeat".
