On the crest of a wave for a younger generation

The promotion of a sailing culture among China's younger generation is in full flow.

Li Jun, 43, a veteran yachtsman and coach at the Qingdao Flying Fish Sailing Club, leads summer camps for children at the city's Olympic Sailing Center. The club was founded by former members of China's national sailing team and the Shandong province team.

"We've run programs for adults in recent years, but this is the first time we've arranged them for children. The sport is becoming popular around here. We didn't do much to promote them, but to my surprise, things have gone very well," Li said.
