Torchbearers are lighting up inspiration

Being a sports reporter for more than a decade, "Olympics" is a magic word to me.

When I was holding the Olympic torch for the second time on Monday in Seoul, the capital city of South Korea, I found the word is also an invitation for everyone to shine.

It was a great honor for me to be invited by the International Olympic Committee to be a torchbearer for the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Games as a representative of Chinese sports reporters. Ten years ago, I was also invited by IOC to be a torchbearer for the 2008 Beijing Summer Games, running my slot in the host city.
