Golden Liao

"Gold" Hui Celestial Empire

The victory of this athlete at the ongoing 2008 Olympics in Beijing, made a splash in the "slavyanogovoryaschih" media.

August 12 Chinese weightlifter Liao Hui won Olympic "gold" in the weight category up to 69 kg.

Athlete raised a total of 348 kg (158 kg + 190 kg) - it is just 10 kg (!) More than the closest pursuers - Frenchman Vincent Dabayya and Armenian Tigran Martirosyan.

Many of the false modesty became dignify champion Liao Hai. But it is a gross error - correctly, I'm sorry for your persistence, yet Dick. What is really there - it's very common (with variations) in the name of China. Including - among athletes. Suffice it to recall Dafen Hui Ren - bronze medalist in Turin, at a distance of 500 meters, and the star of world chess no dick - the leader of the national team, winner of many international tournaments.

Note also that in the Chinese Taoist mythology has its Liao Hui - the god of coins included in the retinue of the god of wealth. And the Chinese are often fond of saying, "Thank you dick for money!»
