Wednesday, February 7, 2007 Hong Kong Selena Li Works Hard at her Mandarin Selena Li, Koni Lui, Cindy Lee, Ken wong, Rocky Cheng, Eddie Li and Maria Chen took part in a press event for the build-up to the Beijing Olympics yesterday and asked if she would be representing TVB in Beijing next year, Selena indicated that she was approached by a producer to host the Athens Olympic coverage, but as the hosts have to be fluent in English, Mandarin and Cantonese, she had to turn it down because her Mandarin was not up to scratch. She says that in order to have the chance to do this job, she has been attending Mandarin classes in between filming, often up to three times a week and she hopes that she will be selected again this time. Asked if she was replaced by Michelle Ye at the Athens games, she says: "I don't know, maybe the producer had a few people in mind and I don't know if I was replaced." Asked if she was annoyed by this, she says: "Well, Michelle's Mandarin is much better." Talking of sportsmen, Selena says that she supports the Chinese athletes and her favourite is basketball star Yao Ming. She says: "When I was studying in Canada, all my schoolfriends loved him, no matter if they were black or white." Selena was a member of her school basketball team and she syas that at the time she was taller than her classmates and took a centre position, but she stopped growing after that. Asked how she will be spending Valentines day, she says that she will be flying back to Toronto to visit her family. Asked if rumoured boyfriend Patrick Tang would be with her, she says: "No, I will be going on my own. (Not taking him to meet the parents?) No, my parents are in Hong Kong and I am going to visit my friends for about 2 weeks." credits: tvbspace, asianfanatics.
