Lang Ping, a member of the Chinese team that won the 1984 Los Angeles Women's Volleyball Olympic gold medal, said on her site (http://langpingblog.blog.sohu.com/)that she feels love from her fans every time she writes blog stories and tries to share her thoughts with them.

Gao Min's site has received 1.1 million clicks since February 14 when she started blogging on Sohu. Gao's site (http://gaominblog.blog.sohu.com/) has attracted many sports lovers partly because of her video images.
