After returning to the national team for training this May, Wang showed a renewed attitude. She pushed herself hard during the military training that began the session and worked even harder as the session wore on.

Her efforts have paid off so far this season and she has set her eyes on winning the overall gold at the World Championships next year. She plans to take even more medals at the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver.

"My goal this season is the overall world champion title," said Wang, who picked up skating at the age of 9. "For my long-term goal, the 2010 Winter Games is the most important for me. All the races ahead of that will be good practice for my preparation."

Youngest team ever

With the retirements of so many veteran skaters, China will send its youngest team ever to compete in this season's competitions. Even though most of the skaters lack much experience in international competition, team officials are optimistic about the future.

"There is good competition, although some of the young skaters make some mistakes. But they are doing better and better," said Tong Lixin, director of the Short Track Speed Skating Department of China's Winter Sports Administrative Center. "The young team is worthy of expectation in the future."

Lacking skaters with strong overall strengths, the young Chinese team still lags behind its main rival, South Korea, especially on the men's side.
