Just one day after his wedding, Yao Ming along with Liu Xiang (the 110 meter world record holder) got together in Beijing at a Coca-Cola sponsored event to kickoff the one-year countdown leading up to the opening of the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

On Tuesday night, Yao and his new bride Ye Li will appear at Tiananmen Square for a countdown celebration, and on Wednesday night they will host a dinner for their national team teammates.
