Title: Beijing Ambitions: An Analysis of the Chinese Elite Sports System and its Olympic Strategy for the 2008 Olympic Games
Abstract: Fan Hong was Professor Mangan's PhD student from 1991 to 1994. As Professor Mangan's first IRCSSS PhD student she benefited enormously from his quality of supervision: speedy in response, meticulous in textual scrutiny. He was always available for discussion, continually encouraging and enthusiastic in approach. For an overseas student in an alien academic culture this was invaluable and much appreciated. Dr Fan Hong is now Reader in the Faculty of Education and Contemporary Studies at De Montfort University and Deputy Director of IRCSSS. Ping Wu and Huan Xiong are her doctoral students. She tries to follow in Professor Mangan's footsteps to give them quality supervision. Ping Wu and Huan Xiong too have been inspired by Professor Mangan's work and impressed by his committed academic effort to bring East and West together.
