Looking for life after glory of victory

China's first Winter Olympics champion helps athletes in retirement find new directions, reports Zhao Xu in Beijing.

Yang Yang knows how it feels to be bathed in glory. She is the first Chinese athlete to stand on the champions podium at the Winter Olympics, winning two gold medals, two silvers and one bronze for short-track speedskating between 1998 and 2006.

She also knows what it's like to struggle and rediscover her place in the wider world after retirement.
