With the London Olympics drawing near, 13 Chinese Olympic champions are among those chosen to represent station names on a souvenir map of the underground.
"We chose our Olympic legends by sport not by country, so the Chinese athletes on the map are there because they are leading representatives of their events worldwide," former BBC sports editor Alex Trickett told China Daily.
Included on the Olympic Legends Map are hurdler Liu Xiang (Bayswater station), weightlifter Liu Chunhong (Crystal Palace) and badminton player Lin Dan (South Acton).
