Meet China's Olympic athletes

Tuesday, 29th July 2008 ~ Maggie ~ Link ~ Comments (2)

You know basketball's Yao Ming (姚明), athletics' Liu Xiang (刘翔) and the Chinese diving team. But did you know that China has a gold medal contender in light flyweight boxer Zou Shiming (邹市明)? And have you met Feng Kun (冯坤) and Zhao Ruirui's (赵蕊蕊) supporting cast on the Chinese women's volleyball team?

To help you get to know Team China, China Sports Today has just added a database of Olympians and other top athletes from the Middle Kingdom. From golf to table tennis (ping pong) to gymnastics, you'll find basic information on key competitors, along with video when possible. To get started, follow this link or click on "Sports" on the bar above. For some sports, the list of athletes comes at the bottom of the sport's page, following some background information about China's history in that sport.

If you don't see who you're looking for, go to our Contact Us page and we'll do our best to add your athlete ASAP.

    You know what would be useful is a one page table with headshots of all the chinese Olympians on your database. it's a bit annoying if I don't know the athletes and for their info to be three clicks away.

    The video's a great feature though

    Great suggestion, Dedlam. The database is now incorporated in our search, so hopefully you have an easier time finding people.
