If you've been following the Vancouver Olympics, you may remember seeing Zhou Yang win two gold medals for China in speed skating events.

Reuters is reporting that the achievement has inspired the teen's home city of Changchun to award her parents a two-bedroom apartment, solving their housing difficulties. The Olympic champion looks forward to occupying one of those bedrooms when she returns from Vancouver with her gold.
