If the full mark was 100, he would give 70 to the three girls in terms of their performance and form.

China isn't a heavyweight in winter sports and we need foreign experience and expertise.

His affair has exposed the weakness in the national team's mental education. We have taken some steps to make the young players more aware of their national duties and try to make the affair a good thing on the preparation of Beijing Olympics.

We were really excited about our team's performance at this meet. We were missing nine girls for this meet due to various conflicts. We didn't know for sure what to expect because of this. The girls competed really well, and we had some excellent performances.

Our girls all had a fantastic meet. We stuck everything. It was our best performance this year. Everyone was on.

Some of these girls are recovering from injuries, so our performance will depend on how fast we can get them healthy...and keep them healthy. Because we'll have to use a slow progression for some of the girls, I don't expect us to really round into shape until the end of the season.
