Jang and Li are not the only electronic sports stars carrying (link via GotFrag) Olympic torch, as two of the Chinese Starcraft players, Lei "Leilei" Shen and Junchun "Pj" Sha were also the selected ones in the list. The original source says the dates and places of them carrying Olympic torch is not decided yet.
Running with torch through the cities around the world has been a tradition for years. The run trip started from Olympia, Greece and is now heading up to Beijing, China, the host of 2008 Summer Olympics. The path turns around the London, San Fransisco, Istanbul, Seoul, Kuala Lumper and Pyongyang cities before entering Beijing.
One world, one dream
With these details this is a great attempt to push the electronic sports and videogaming forward in the global market. Last time the try-out to take electronic sports in the Olympics failed, but perhaps this and the Digital Games tournament will make the dream to come true at some day and year. One world, one dream, as Gamespot's news says.
The selected ones
Eight gamers have been selected, and two, Xie "fordream" Nan (Warcraft III player) and Haifeng Du (not a player) are yet to be decided.
Xiao Feng "Sky" Li
Jae Ho "Moon" Jang
Junchun "Pj" Sha
Lei "Leilei" Shen
Chenglong "sai" Zhou
Jia "xiaobai" Sheng

But I hope for some athletes' actions during the games.

Other than that, great moments for Sky and Moon!
From your damned western media just like CNN?
conceal the truth,clip the photo,change the caption in the interview.Can you do more bad than these?
well, it's the representation you western reporter in our chinese people's mind.
last, i want to say: Olympic Games is essentially nonpolitical.
I admit that my view on current events in that region is hardly clear, partially because Chinese restrict the media coverage. Also it's simply far enough removed from my daily life that I don't go digging for information, so much of what I learn of them is from the media. Who, as I'm well aware, do color their news to increase sales and to suit their political agenda, although I like to think it's better here in Finland than it is in USA.
All that aside, I certainly approve the fact Chinese (and far eastern countries in general) seem to give more recognition to electronic sports than most western countries do.
FREE TIBET :D

Sure, because China doesn't control what news comes to its people, China doesn't block websites from its people and China will always tell the truth on the news for the sake of its people?
How you can say that olimpic games are unpolitical??
So tell me why always politic issues decide which country is host of olimpic games...
and please...don't tell me its not true...
We have been seeing one argue with ppls from China after WCG I think. We don't need and don't want next one.
Peace...for everyone on this earth.
