Titan Sports (Chinese :体坛周报) is a Chinese sports newspaper, operated by the Titan Sports Media Group. It is the most circulated sports newspaper in China. [1]
Titan Sports was founded in 1988 as a sports newspaper owned and operated by Hunan Sports General Association. On 3 December 1990, Titan Sports started a new column, "European Leagues Round-up", which meant that it became the first Chinese newspaper keeping track of European football. In May 1992, Titan Sports launched continuous coverage of the 1992 NBA Finals with its column "Up to date: The Final Chapter of NBA", as the first Chinese media outlet reporting National Basketball Association games in the form of continuous coverage. In 1994, Titan Sports started keeping track of Chinese domestic league Jia A after its foundation.
In the market competition of Chinese newspapers in the late 1990s, Titan Sports gradually exceeded other sports newspapers in China in circulation and in public influence. During the Sydney 2000 Summer Olympics, its circulation surpassed 2 million per issue. [2]
The 2002 World Cup qualifying rounds became the major focus of Titan Sports after the 2000 Summer Olympics, in 2001. China was attempting to qualify; that year average per issue circulation of Titan Sports was 1.6 million.
