The Managing Director of Adidas Greater China, Wolfgang Bentheimer, has the following to say about campaign: “Adidas believes that the success of the Olympic means more than winning medals and that the Olympic spirit is not just for the athletes. The passion of all the Chinese feeling about the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games will make China a true Sports Nation and Adidas hope to play an active role in this development. This is largest campaign we have ever done in China and showcases the power of the nation : when 1.3 billion people come together. Impossible is Nothing at the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games.“
