China hopes a dramatic global TV promotion featuring tennis player Roger Federer and runner Haile Gebrselassie as mythic Greek heroes will heighten interest in the Beijing Olympics.
The global campaign, which also features Olympic hopefuls including basketball legend Yao Ming, is called Heroes and its style apes the film 300.
It was developed by the International Olympic Committee for use internationally by broadcasters who have the TV rights to air the Beijing Olympics.
