China’s newly wed basketball sensation(巨星), Yao Ming, said babies would take a back-seat to(处于次要地位) Olympic preparations as the host country began the one-year countdown(倒计时) to the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games.

The Houston Rockets centre, who wed his basketballer girlfriend Ye Li at a private ceremony in Shanghai on Monday, was briefly caught off guard(弄得措手不及) when China’s Olympic hurdling champion, Liu Xiang, asked about his family plans on Tuesday.

“Having children ... there’s no plan at present. I will be concentrating on preparing for the NBA season and next year’s Olympics,” Yao said in comments published on Chinanews.com on Wednesday.

“To take part in the Olympics in my home country, it’s an opportunity I will really treasure,” Yao said.

Yao also expressed that his wedding ceremony, at which dozens of security guards kept a lot of reporters outside a Shanghai hotel, was deliberately timed.

“Getting married on August 6 was to use the focus of the Olympics to divert attention away from my wedding,” he said, keeping secret about his honeymoon plans.

On Wednesday, China marked the one-year countdown to the 2008 Beijing Olympics which will start at 8:08 pm local time on the eighth day of the eighth month. Eight, unsurprisingly, is a lucky number in China.
