Beijing (CNN) -- When the Olympic torch lights up in London on Friday, hundreds of millions of TV screens, laptops and mobile phones will likewise be turned on in China. Chinese sports fans are expected to watch the world's best athletes compete for medals and fame at the 2012 Summer Games. Hardly any Chinese expect London to be able to match the spectacular opening ceremony that Beijing choreographed four years ago. London set for Olympic opener "They will get the job done but it definitely won't be as good as China did," said Ling Ling, who works for CCTV, the national television network. CCTV plans extensive coverage of many events, including live broadcast of events featuring Chinese athletes.
