CHINESE speed skater Fan Kexin kept her title at the Women’s 500m at the 2012 ISU World Short Track Speed Skating Championships in Shanghai on March 9. The 18-year-old won the title in 44.438 seconds. Many people think she is Wang Meng’s successor (接任者). “I am still young, and compared to Wang Meng I still have a lot of things to learn,” said the modest Fan. “I have never thought to become the leader of the team, like Wang.”21ST
