Te-An Lien qualifies!!!

Remember how last year I said I wanted Luger Lien Te-An to qualify for the 2014 Sochi Olympics?

Well he has! At the 11th hour he has qualified to take part in the Olympic Games two weeks from now. After Slovenia and United Kingdom decided not to use their qualification quota, their spots were reallocated with Taiwan getting one of those spots!

Lien Te-An joins two other Taiwanese athletes at these games. ( More about them later)  This will be the biggest Taiwanese team since 2002.

As Lien Te-An is still a young athlete hopefully this Olympic experience will be the first of a couple more in his career!

10 things I want to see in 2013

Some are more realistic than others

1.       Tennis player Hsieh Su-Wei to maintain her ranking in the top 30

2.       Fourth of the medals table at East Asian Games

3.       Figure skater qualify past the first round at the World Championships

4.       Luger Lien Te-An successfully qualify for the 2014 Olympics

5.       Jeremy Lin leads Rockets to the playoffs

6.       Golfer Yani Tseng to hold on to her number 1 ranking

7.       Advance out of pool play at the World Baseball Classic

8.       Top 6 finish for both national basketball teams at the FIBA Asia Championships

9.       Footballer Victor Chou to recover from his foot surgery

10.   Jimmy Wang to break back into top 100 of the ATP rankings

What would you like to see of Taiwanese athletes this year?
