HAN Xiaopeng, China's first male Winter Olympic champion, will defend his freestyle skiing aerials title at the Vancouver Games after being awarded a place in his country's team.
Han, a former acrobat who had never seen snow before he was enlisted into China's winter sports team, has struggled with injury for the last year and fallen behind four younger compatriots in the rankings. "Han is guaranteed a place in the Winter Olympics if nothing unexpected happens," Ren Hongguo, deputy director of China's Winter Sports Administration, told the China Sports Daily. The 27-year-old, whose Turin triumph was the first in a snow sport for his country, will lead a strong Chinese challenge in the event at the February 12-28 Games.
