China in the Olympics

Search begins for new stars: With one gold, one silver and three bronze, China's short- track speed skaters contributed most of the medals for the country at the 2006 Turin Winter Olympic Games, which came to a conclusion yesterday.

China to spend more money on winter sports: Excited with the gains in the Turin Olympics, Chinese officials said here Monday that the country would spend more money to develop winter sports.

The world's moved by China: The most touching moment in Turin 2006 Winter Olympics is not on the high podium for medal winners. Rather, it occurred on the eve of pairs figure skating on Feb. 13. The last duo on that day, Chinese athletes Zhang Dan and Zhang Hao tried to finish an unprecedented throw quad salchow but Zhang Dan failed to stick the landing and injured herself.
