Medal hopeful helping water polo make waves

Water polo has often struggled for recognition in China, but Xiong Dunhan is determined to change all that by raising awareness of the sport.

Xiong plays as a center forward for the Chinese women's water polo team, and regularly posts updates about her life and training with the national squad on her Weibo account.

"I've always tried to promote water polo by showcasing the unity and happiness of our team on social media. In this way, we can open this sport to the public," said the 23-year-old Xiong, who is currently competing at the Hangzhou Asian Games, where China is bidding to win its fourth straight title in the event.
