Take two as videos help win bid again

Basketball star Yao Ming's impersonation of a giant ice hockey goalkeeper in a promotional video for Beijing's 2022 Winter Olympics bid raised smiles at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Center on Friday - and Meng Qingzhi, the video's executive director, was able to take a deep breath.

"From the reactions of the International Olympic Committee members, I knew it worked," Meng, a director with China Central Television's sports channel, said on Tuesday.

Following Beijing's final presentation, which included four official promo videos, the IOC voted to award the city the right to host the 2022 Winter Olympics.
