BEIJING, August 12 (RIA Novosti) - A 97-year-old Chinese woman has traveled 2,400 km (1,492 miles) on an adult tricycle to support her national badminton team at the Beijing Olympics, the China Daily online edition said on Tuesday.
Xiao Xincui arrived in Beijing from central China's province of Henan on a bicycle ridden by her grandson.
Their trip lasted five weeks. The cyclists arrived on time to watch the women's singles on Sunday.
Her grandson said he wanted to make the trip as a thank you to Xiao for bringing him up after his father died when he was young, the China Daily said.
