National Games plagued by scandal(2)

Embarrassing faults

Olympic double women's diving champion He Zi, a was found to be only 135 cm tall and weigh 30 kg, according to her profile on the official website of the 12th National Games. A statement was issued on the website which attributed the mistake to the negligence.

The distorted information was reportedly an accident, but a sex change registration of a male basketball player is planned by Fujian team.

The player's card of Wang Zhelin, a male basketball player representing Fujian province, shows he has registered as a female basketball player under 18. The intended fraud was aimed to qualify Wang - whose team has been knocked out of the games - to be a flag bearer during the opening ceremony as the 214cm-tall guy can raise the "height" of the Fujian team.

Li Na's tennis trouble

The French Open champion Li Na eventually helped her home tennis team of Hubei province in the 12th National Games.

Li had publically made it clear as early as the beginning of the year that she will not participate in the 12th National Games, but her name was still found in the player list of Hubei team in June when the tennis events started.

However, the team's move didn't astonish others in China's tennis circle, as they knew the name of Li Na itself can help tag Hubei as a seed team due to Li's high rank in WTA, a smart way to avoid tough opponents in the first rounds.

Of course, Li didn't show up in the games, but Hubei has gotten what it can get from Li's absence.

After the tennis events started, the events was slammed for a lack of audience and no standing seats were installed in 14 of the total 16 courts.

Off the court, the customized food unfortunately was blasted for lacking meat. A player broadcasted his discontent on Sina Weibo complaining "they are feeding rabbits everday, who can eat his fill?"
