Feng Shuyong Quotations

We can hardly do anything about it. Chinese athletics has long been troubled by this problem.

Liu's winning time of 13.10 seconds in the men's 110m hurdles means that he has performed consistently at almost all the major events this year and he still has the potential to go faster. As to Huang and Wang Xing, who claimed the silver in the event behind Huang, they have grown much more mature.

We will further discuss the regular patterns and characteristics of each event during the training camps and we will also bring in new blood for the national track and field team.

The top-class sports teams being nurtured by universities are a sign of China's sporting future. At the moment, the facilities for such teams are not as good as for the national teams, we will give some support to them in the future.

The number of athletes we send abroad next year will be twice as many as this year. We are also working at sending middle distance runners and throwers abroad to train.

All the athletes should be back in training soon after a short rest to ensure they are fit for next year's Asian Games. The Asian Games in Doha next year will be a big task for us and we should make full use of winter training to improve.
