Zhong still man of the moment

Almost a year after winning China's historic first men's fencing Olympic title, Zhong Man is amazed at how popular he remains in the country.

Commercials, lectures, media exposure, signing autographs the 26-year-old is still pursued everywhere despite the fact that fencing's following in the nation remains small.

This was not the life he expected before the night of August 13, 2008 when he upset France's Nicolas Lopez in the men's saber final at the Beijing Games.
