| Lei Wang is fat
6'3'' / 238 lbs - how does he even manage to move up and down the strip? |

| Like a very heavy angel.
Now I really don't understand this. This is China. Not only is everyone thinner to begin with, as I understand it there's a good chance you're beaten for being fat if you're on the Olympic team.
I would also like to add that height/weight is a poor reference for bodyfat despite the loose correlation.

You must be thinking of Hong Kong, where everyone is much thinner, in China, they're all fat. for example Wo Fat.

| I have a copy of the Wang/Kolobkov semi-final bout from the 2004 Olympics. Yes Wang is rotund. But heck, can he move. Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. PWNed Pavel. Then, he gave it up and lost to Fischer for the gold.

| The second joke is that anyone actually believes the self-reported h/w figures provided in the press packets. Only lifting, boxing, wrestling, and judo have official weights.
