The Big Ten Network will air a new television show produced by UW-Madison to showcase the success of the Chinese Champions Program.
The program, ""Beijing Badgers,"" will air at noon on Tuesday, Jan. 25, and will last 30 minutes.
Madison's John Roach Projects produced the show, which will document Olympic-caliber Chinese student-athletes and coaches who studied at the university in the fall through a partnership with Beijing University of Sport.
As well as taking classes in kinesiology and sports management, the group attended sporting events, visited Madison, Milwaukee and Chicago, and visited area sports-related businesses and clubs, according to the UW-Madison website.
The students appeared on the Camp Randall field during the football season and attended President Obama's speech at Library Mall in September.
According to UW-Madison's website, the program had much more success than the visitors or hosts expected and has been extended for three more years, with another group arriving this spring.
