- Forget Ping-Pong. These days China is crazy for HULA
- HOOPS. The fad has gathered speed as several People's Republic
- manufacturers have begun churning them out. Suddenly in Beijing,
- just about everyone from bus passengers and bicycle riders to
- students and bureaucrats is hauling around the brightly colored
- jianshen quan (body-building hoops). Many new aficionados,
- however, aren't sure what they should do with them. Some roll
- them like wheels, others twirl them around their arms. As soon
- as everyone catches on to the classic wiggle, get ready for a
- new Summer Olympics event. Beats synchronized swimming any day.
