Curriculum of champions

陈小将

Established in 1988, Rizhao Sports School is the coastal city's only school dedicated to competitive and vocational sports.

Over the decades, the school in East China's Shandong province has cultivated numerous sports athletes who have achieved impressive results in various levels of competition. These include winning a Rizhao record of four gold medals at last year's 15th National Games of China.

Cross-country skier and school alumnus Li Minglin helped it win its first-ever Winter Asiad gold medal in Harbin, Heilongjiang province, in February last year.
