Yearender 2015: Chinese athletes of year

Chen retained the men's singles crown at the badminton world championships after beating Malaysian star Lee Chong Wei 2-0 (21-14, 21-17) in the final on Aug 16. The 26-year-old also helped China win the Sudirman Cup for the sixth straight time in May. A steady and impressive run in 2015 has enabled Chen to become the first ever player whose world ranking points reach 100,000. [Photo/Xinhua]
