In the Olympic Forest Park, the 19th baseball torchbearer is Yao Ming, president of the Chinese Basketball Association. He is arguably the most recognizable torchbearer on the torch relay site.
As a former athlete of the Summer Olympic Games, Yao Ming is also the image ambassador of Beijing's bid to host the Winter Olympics and a member of the Beijing Winter Olympic Bid Presentation Team. In recent years, he has often cheered for the Beijing Winter Olympics on various occasions.
As a double Olympic torchbearer, what is your special feeling about participating in the Winter Olympic Torch Relay this time? Yao Ming showed his usual humor, saying that although the day was very cold, his heart was very warm, "There is a fire in this winter, it is very warm." ”
