Zhang Guozheng, 2004 Athens Olympic weightlifting champion, is at the center of a dramatic tug-of-war between China's Yunnan and Shanxi provinces since he will most certainly be a title contender at next year's Olympics in Beijing .
Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian both failed to deliver victories in their preseason games yesterday with only a week to go before the regular season begins.
After winning the gold medal at the 2006 Winter Olympic Games in Turin, China's short-track speed skater Wang Meng was considered to be a national hero.
Chinese long-distance runner Sun Yingjie will reportedly make her comeback debut after a two-year doping ban in January's Xiamen International Marathon, which is also the final 2008 Beijing Olympic Games qualifier. But the boss of the sport's governing body tried to cool people's expectations for Sun's appearance in Beijing.
With Yi Jianlian leaving to play in the US and as the pressure of the upcoming Beijing Olympics builds, Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) officials expect to take a hit in revenues this season.
