Chinese vice world champion dies of cancer

Chinese football is mourning the loss of its former international player Zhang Ouying. The 43-year-old - part of the Chinese team that sensationally became runner-up in the USA in 1999 - died on Monday at the age of 43 after a short but serious battle with cancer. Zhang was diagnosed with tumors in both lungs earlier this year.
