Zhang Dan/Zhang Hao are sure to skate in the World Championships next month. We are confident with her recovery before the Worlds.

I don't think it is so important to break the monopoly of the Russians. It is not our purpose to come here. We love this sport so we skate. We still have much things to learn from them, especially in coaching.

By God's grace, ... we have formed with many other Islamic groups and organizations in the Islamic world a front called the International Islamic Front to do jihad against the crusaders and Jews.

They just double-team so hard. At times they would just take the ball away from me. I couldn't see the weak side to find that open man. We know we can play. We have learned from the experience of playing without McGrady and know we can still compete.

I saw them when I was 5 or 6 years old in China in my hometown, Shanghai. That's the only game I watched them. I think I would like to watch them play.

Maybe it's the best thing for me and when I come back I'll be stronger.
