The elite athletes and coaches are the first of what is expected to be several such groups in the University of Wisconsin-Madison?s Chinese Champions Program, a unique initiative that brought nine people from Beijing Sports University to spend the fall semester in Madison. Among the students: Luo Xuejuan, who won a gold medal in the women?s 100-meter breaststroke at the 2004 Olympics; Wang Bingyu, who won a bronze medal in women?s curling in Vancouver in February; and Sui Jianshuang, a silver medalist in rhythmic gymnastics at the 2008 Olympics.
