• The British Olympic Association took results from last year’s World Competitions and projected that China will surpass the U.S. by taking home the largest share of Gold Medals!
• This is why there is a new world order of Gold Medal-talent and why your viewers will want to know “Who’s Who” from China and internationally. • Each and every athlete has his/her own compelling story to tell, for example: • Liu Xiang, the world’s 110 meter hurdles record holder, is special not just because he is the best, but because he amazingly continue to excel and outperform the competition in an event where only hundredths of a second make the difference between first and second place.
• He carries the hope of the Chinese people and that made his hands tremble in Shanghai in September of 2007 when he lost to Darion Robles from Cuba. We are sure that Xiang will prepare carefully for his competition and for his chance to fulfill China’s hope for Gold in his event in the 2008 Beijing .
