Time for veterans to shine

It's not much of a record compared to the grizzled veterans of international media, but it's still difficult to believe I'm here in Sochi to cover my third Winter Olympic Games.

I'm also aware that for China's veteran athletes, this is the time to shine.

My first Winter Olympics, the 2006 Games in Turin, Italy, also marked the swansong for Yang Yang, China's superstar of speedskating. She led the women's short track team to one gold medal, one silver and two bronze.
