First: Chinese MTB racer wins a World Cup event

While the road season is in full-swing, the off-road crew had its major international season-opener with a World Cup in Houffalize, Belgium. The race marked the first time a Chinese rider won a World Cup, when Chengyuan Ren beat perennial favorite Gunn-Rita Dahle Flesjaa of Norway in the women's race. Spain's Jose Hermida took the men's race, but Ren's win was the big news as the Chinese women appear ready to make a serious run for the gold medal at next year's Olympic Games in Beijing [More].
