Chinese faces on foreign teams
Author:admin Date:2008-08-07
Chinese faces can be seen everywhere on the international sports stage now.
These are the faces of former superstars for team China who have moved on to take coaching positions in other countries. These faces include Lang Ping, who coaches the women's US volleyball team, Liu Guodong of Singapore's table tennis team and Li Mao, the coach of South Korea's badminton team. Li may be remembered for his quarrel with Chinese coach Li Yongbo during the South Korean Open earlier this year.
There are also faces hidden from the spotlight as they are not top-ranked players or they are on teams not expected to be in medal contention.
However, each player has a story. I met three of them today -- two from the US table tennis team and another from the US badminton team -- in the Media Press Center.
