随着里约奥运的进行,两项中国传统事物在奥运村走红:拔火罐和蚊帐
With the Games are well underway in Rio, two Chinese traditional practices have become popular throughout the Olympic Village: cupping jars therapy and mosquito nets.
The striking brown circular marks left by the cupping treatment have been seen on many athletes, including American gymnast Alex Naddour and Olympic champion Michael Phelps. The cupping therapy can help enhance blood circulation and reduce fatigue.
Meanwhile, the mosquito nets have also become a favorite, guarding athletes from the Zika virus infection, which has spread across Brazil since May last year.
