I have seen somewhere that one of the meanings of the word in Chinese - "wisdom". However,
Wikipedia does not give such an interpretation.
Incidentally, such incidents regularly occur in international competitions with the participation of Chinese athletes. This surname is extremely common in China. Our commentators are trying to somehow camouflage discordant word, pronouncing it as "Ki" or something in that spirit. But if you look, for example, TV channel Eurosport in English, the British quietly pronounce this word as it should sound.
But what, actually, hanzhestvovat. We're long accustomed to the Spanish name Julio in television series or to surnames like Juarez.
