Wang putting plan in motion

China's national team has gathered at a training camp in Wanning, Hainan province, to prepare for the 2019-20 season under new head coach and fourtime Olympic short track champion Wang Meng.

About 140 athletes are attending, including Gao Tingyu, the 2018 Olympic bronze medalist in the men's 5 0 0 m, along with three-time Olympic short track champion Zhou Yang and promising prospects Li Qishi and Jin Jingzhu.

Wang boosted the morale of her charges by giving them mottos of several Olympic champions, including that of multiple gold medalist Sven Kramer of the Netherlands: "Being satisfied with silver is not my view of top sport."
