A Chinese-Canadian heptathlon star is set to fulfill a family dream to represent China at the Olympics.
Running and jumping are part of childhood fun for almost everyone, but they signified more for young athlete Nina Schultz from New Westminster, in western Canada, since she first stepped on the track at about age 10.
The granddaughter of China's national high-jumping champions, Schultz, 19, is competing at the National Games in Tianjin as one of eight foreigners of Chinese origin or Chinese living overseas who are approved to participate in the quadrennial event.
