of the greatest international sporting events of
the first decade of the 21st Century. - No program has ever been produced that previews
the top athletes and their events in such
intimate detail before they compete in the
Olympics UNTIL NOW! - Chinas Olympic superstars are mostly unknown
outside China and have not been readily
accessible to the world media. - Chinas coming out into the world stage has
changed the worlds 20th Century premise. - CCTV Sports and SportsNow! will produce these
50 Programs working together. The Programs will
start to be available for broadcast on 1-1-08 and

- The British Olympic Association took results
from last years World Competitions and projected
that China will surpass the U.S. by taking home
the largest share of Gold Medals!
6- This is why there is a new world order of Gold
Medal-talent and why your viewers will want to
know Whos Who from China and internationally. - Each and every athlete has his/her own
compelling story to tell, for example
- Liu Xiang, the worlds 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 Chinas hope for Gold in his event in
the 2008 Beijing Olympics.
