The paper said 199 students from the Shaolin Monastery Wushu Institute at Tagou will strap "machines" on their legs for a five-minute "jumping dragon" program. Butt out, Isinbayeva responds Russian Yelena Isinbayeva won the Olympic gold and a world record in the pole vault and American rival Jenn Stuczynski was tongue tied. The US athlete who took silver had been trash talking ahead of the competition on Monday night, claiming she would "kick some Russian butt." As it turned out it was Stuczynski who had her butt kicked, as she was unable to match the Russian. Isinbayeva understands English and said the talking got her going: "I am not deaf It made me really angry." (China Daily 08/20/2008 page29) |
