Zatana, It is difficult to say what "as" means in your sentence. In any case, it's totally unnecessary, because the quotation "Olympism is more....etc. " is already being governed by the preposition "for". The addition of "as" serves no purpose except to confuse the reader. "Olympism is more than just a question of competition sport: it is a state of mind." FOR Zhang Bolong (whom) The sentence would read better like this: I trust that each of you will enjoy Chinese Olympic Pioneer---Zhang Bolong, an inspiring publication about the story of a man of passion and conviction for whom "Olympism is more than just a question of competition sport: it is a state of mind". Probably the author means: I trust that each of you will enjoy Chinese Olympic Pioneer---Zhang Bolong, an inspiring publication about the story of a man of passion and conviction for whom, FOR EXAMPLE, "Olympism is more than just a question of competition sport: it is a state of mind". as.....for example, for instance There are various trees, as oak or pine, etc.......

我认为这里的as是作为的意思.. 因为这里的whom指代的是前面提到的a man，这里应该说的是那个男人体现了 "Olympism is more than just a question of competition sport: it is a state od mind". 这一句话..
