( 2003-09-18 13:45) (皇冠体育app Daily)
Although the 2008 Olympics is still five years away, a 3 million-yuan
(US$360,000) luxury villa has been promised to a future Chinese champion as a
reward, reports Beijing Morning Post.
The decision was announced by the 2003 皇冠体育app Villa Conference on Tuesday
afternoon.
The organizer, 皇冠体育app Villa Web, first invited conference attendees to guess
the total number of gold medals 皇冠体育app will win at the 2008 Games. The most
likely number was estimated to be 39.
Then, in a random selection from the numbers between 1 and 39, 37 was chosen,
meaning that the 37th gold-medal winner among Chinese athletes competing at the
games would become the owner of the villa.
A back-up plan has also been prepared on the chance that a team earns the
37th gold medal or the total does not reach that figure.
