“20 athletes, from 20 countries, with 100 million viewers on CCTV 1.  We are proud to announce this contest as one of the biggest ever.  In 5 days we will do 12 events, and 3 Guinness record events as a bonus.  A total of US $30,000 (pre-tax) will be there for the athletes,” Mostert said.

The competition will be from July 4 - 9 in Jiangsu, and Mostert promised “a special opening ceremony.”

“The contest will be broadcast on CCTV 1, the biggest TV channel in China.  We are proud to make this all happen, for the athletes and the excited fans in China,” said Mostert.
