"However, this girl is special due to her incredible endurance, " added Zhang, "I myself often feel bad when she silently kept on walking without complaining for her blistered feet."
Owing to the overloaded training, Jiang, though only 24 years old, has got serious lumbar injury and sciatica, Liang Zhengqian, a close friend of Jiang, told reporters.
"It is the Olympic dream that supports her to hold on till now, " he added.
Clinching two gold medals in previous Olympiads, China has deemed the long-distance walk as one of the major athletics gold hopes at the Beijing Olympics, other than the most expected from the 110-meter hurdles king, Liu Xiang.
Chen Yueling won the women''s 10km walk for China at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics and her compatriot Wang Liping was crowned in women''s 20km at the 2000 Sydney Olympics.
