| personal info: | The Gymnast King has seen a remarkable transformation to businessman, succeeding in listing his sports label in Hong Kong this summer.

Winning six medals at the 1984 Olympics, including three gold, Li in 1989 retired from gymnastics to set up his own sports brand, which has since become the top sports brand in China and the official sports wear of the Chinese Olympic team. Li has set up schools of gymnastics in China and the US. |
