But now, Liu is getting a second chance to be a part of the Olympics. She has been chosen to be a torch bearer for the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics.
Born to dance! This is Liu Yan. A 27-year-old Chinese classical dancer.
She began to learn dancing as a nine-year-old. In time, Liu won the nation's top dance honor, the Lotus prize.
Considered China's leading classical dancer, she was invited to be the only solo performer at the Beijing Olympics opening ceremony.
