 The ten most wanted pairs of female athletes from home and abroad

Tan Xue vs Mariel Zagunis:
Tan Xue miraculously defeated the two-time Azerbaijan world champion Emma Eva at the 2002 Lisbon World Fencing Championships held in Portugal, and became China’s first fencing world champion. Many expected the quickly-rising star to succeed during the first battle, as she is one of China’s gold-medal hopefuls. Meanwhile, the women’s individual of the saber events, the new-comers to the Olympics, is another battle where the Chinese delegation is most likely to win on August, 17. If Tan Xue fights the final battle with Zagunis, it is sure she will spare no effort in the encounter. After all, she somewhat under-estimated her counterpart last time.
