BEIJING, Sept. 15 (Xinhua) -- Five sailboats displayed side by side were some of the most conspicuous elements at the 2024 China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS), a five-day event to be concluded on Monday in Beijing.
"They were tailored for different groups respectively, including the youth, families, and athletes," introduced Guo Yue, a race director of Western Port International Sailing Center. "The sailboat design has been further improved in beam, mainsail and spinnaker to ensure a safe and joyful experience for sailors."
Guo, also an enthusiast of running and cycling, got involved in sailing in 2017. He said that sailing is not a sport out of reach, while a number of sailing clubs in China can provide equipment and professional guidance for beginners.
能看出来，斯马特在灰熊确实已经被边缘化了，首发被剥夺不说，出场时间也大幅缩水，场均仅21.9分钟，刷新生涯最低纪录，值得一提的是，灰熊当初引入他，是想升级狄龙-布鲁克斯这个点，但现在看，斯马特并没有达到预期，几乎没什么存在感，反倒他不在场时，灰熊的比赛流畅度更高。
为什么这样说呢？我们先来了解下吴咏琳，吴咏琳出生于2003年，中国香港乒乓球运动员，从小练球，15岁获得了泰国青少年锦标赛U15季军。2022年，代表中国香港参加成都世锦赛，2023年，代表中国香港开始参加世乒赛并且开启了WTT的征战，2024年，吴咏琳代表中国香港参加了巴黎奥运会，因为甜美的长相，可爱的性格，吴咏琳也是从出道就受到了很多球迷的喜欢，也是因为如此，2024年乒超联赛，吴咏琳也是受邀参加，她加入了深圳大学俱乐部，成为了孙颖莎的队友。
Indeed, water events have become popular in outdoor sports, in addition to climbing and mountain cycling. "Currently, many universities nationwide set up sailing teams with wide participation of college students. They can also learn to operate a sailboat by attending online sailing races on their phone or computer to accumulate experience," said Guo.
During the CIFTIS, the Digital and Intelligent Sports Open attracted visitors to join in rowing and other activities in a combination of virtual and reality. Yue Na, corporate partner of Western Port International Sailing Center, noted, "Water sports should be a lifestyle."
At the Paris Olympics, Chinese pair Xu Shixiao and Sun Mengya successfully defended their title in the women's canoe double 500m final, while their compatriots Liu Hao and Ji Bowen claimed the men's canoe double 500m gold. 15-year-old Yang Siqi, the first Chinese surfer at the Olympics, already created history by cruising into the last 16.
"Chinese canoeists clinched two golds at the Paris Games, and surfing went viral as an emerging sport among the younger generations," remarked Tong Lixin, director of China Water Sports Administration. "Water sports also cover diving and motorboats. All water sports facilities can be manufactured in China. The whole industry has a huge potential."
Since 2005, Qingdao, in east China's Shandong Province, has been a part of the prestigious Clipper Round the World Yacht Race.
"One of the teams is named Qingdao. When it stopped in other cities around the world during the race, more people would get to know more about this beautiful Chinese city. As long as the teams from all over the world came to Qingdao, a series of cultural activities would be held, injecting energy into the city's tourism," said Hu Yan, general manager of the China project of Clipper Round the World Yacht Race.
In Qinhuangdao of north China's Hebei Province, the ports were effectively utilized to carry out water sports. Qinhuangdao International Tourism Port cooperated with the French counterparts to develop sailing boats training and competition base, hosting more sporting activities for the young people.
"We should make detailed plans in advance to explore more water areas suitable for water sports to cultivate talents澳门六合彩," Tong noted. "China boasts infinite vitalities in water sports." ■
