Geng on fast track to success

After an encouraging test run in Pyeongchang, China's rookie skeleton pilot Geng Wenqiang has set his sights on zooming to glory at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics

A former long jumper, the 25-year-old Geng only picked up the electrifying sliding sport in 2015 and quickly made history by becoming the first Chinese to qualify for the Olympics in the discipline.

He finished a creditable 13th overall out of the 30 elite pilots in South Korea, but it's a measure of Geng's ambition that he wasn't totally happy with his Games debut.
