Sports Culture\u00a0in China<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

China has a long-standing emphasis on athleticism. In China, even university students still have a compulsory Physical Education class. The Chinese have practised doing regular sports since a very young age. Hence, the Chinese produce some of the most prominent athletes worldwide. Even though the types of sports that they do varies, here are some of the most popular sports in China:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Table Tennis (\u4e52\u4e53\u7403 p\u012bng p\u0101ng qi\u00fa\uff09<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is the most popular recreational sport in China. Deng Yaping\uff08\u9093\u4e9a\u840d\uff09<\/strong>, a famous Chinese table tennis player, won six world championships and four Olympic championships between 1989 and 1997, making her one of the greatest table tennis player ever in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Fun fact<\/strong>: The United States’ table tennis team was invited to play the game in China in 1971. Dubbed ping-pong diplomacy, it heralded a thaw in diplomatic relations between the two countries.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Basketball (\u7bee\u7403 l\u00e1n qi\u00fa\uff09<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This sport gained its popularity since the 2000s, when Yao Ming\uff08\u59da\u660e\uff09<\/strong>started playing for the Houston Rockets in NBA<\/strong>. To this day, Yao Ming is still one of China’s most famous athletes, if not, the most famous<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Fun fact<\/strong>: Yao Ming owns a winery in the Napa Valley selling high-end wine with his name on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Badminton\uff08\u7fbd\u6bdb\u7403 y\u01d4 m\u00e1o qi\u00fa\uff09<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

China is also the most successful badminton team in the history of the game, having won Thomas Cup 10 times<\/strong> and the Uber Cup 14 times<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Possibly the greatest badminton player of all time, Lin Dan\uff08\u6797\u4e39\uff09<\/strong>completed the Super Grand Slam by the age of 28<\/strong>. He won all of the nine major badminton tournaments available, including the Olympic Games, World Championships and World Cup. He remains the only player to obtain such remarkable achievement.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Fun fact<\/strong>: Some historians say that badminton is a derived version of the traditional Chinese game, ‘jianzi’. In this sport, players use their feet instead of a racket to hit the shuttlecock.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n
