BEIJING (Reuters) - A Chinese newspaper apologised on Tuesday for attacking one of the country's young Olympic weightlifters for her performance at the London Games.

Zhou Jun failed to lift the starting weight in the 53-kg category on Saturday, prompting The Metropolis Times in the south-west city of Kunming to label it "the most shameful defeat for Chinese female weightlifters".
