China's Ice and Snow Projects: "Cold but Not Forgotten" What force has turned bobsleigh, a project that many have never even heard of, into a source of national pride for China? At the 2024-2025 International Bobsleigh and Skeleton Federation World Cup in Winterberg, Germany, the Chinese team not only won the gold medal but also stood on both podiums, stunning the world! This is a project that was previously unknown to many sports fans, yet two Chinese teams have used their historic achievements to "wake it up." The story behind this is a combination of personal struggle by the athletes, miraculous operations in the country's sports strategy, and the hidden "trump card" of cross-border talent selection. Next, let's uncover the true face of this "ridiculous victory" together. Bobsleigh World Cup sounds a bit aloof and isn't a hot event, but in this year's Winterberg match, every second was a moment of excitement. At the competition site, the Chinese pair of Zhao Dan and Lin Qianwei performed like a textbook. The two partners staged a god-level performance, cleanly taking the gold medal with a time of 2 minutes and 0.87 seconds, directly putting the Five-star Red Flag at the center of the podium. This gold medal is not only the first time the Chinese team has won the championship in this event, but it is also the best reward for the hard training of the past few years. During the competition, Zhao Dan took the field with a momentum like breaking bamboo, completing the first leg with an excellent result of…

"Take this, you might need it." When 49-year-old snooker legend Mark Williams stepped off the plane, the sight of the organizers handing him a portable oxygen device was touching. The 2025 Snooker Lhasa Exhibition Match is not only a contest of ball skills but also a battle against the natural environment. Lhasa, a city with an average altitude of 3650 meters, welcomed its first world-class snooker event. For players accustomed to playing at sea level, this is undoubtedly an unprecedented challenge. "I never thought I would play at such a height," Mark Williams joked in a pre-match interview, "it reminds me of my first mountain climbing experience." However, "Uncle Ma" proved with his strength that age and altitude are not factors hindering his performance. In the first match on the evening of January 5th, he defeated Wujinduoji with a clean 5-0 victory. Although he had to rely on oxygen equipment during breaks, the veteran's professionalism and adaptability won the applause of all the spectators present. "Seeing Mark in such condition has inspired us all," commented one of the participating players. Indeed, when you see a player nearly half a century old still maintaining a high level of performance in such extreme conditions, it can't help but be admired. The upcoming schedule is even more thrilling. At 3 pm today, Chinese player Xiao Guodong will face the world's number one Trump; at 7:30 pm, there will be a highly anticipated match between Mark Williams and Ding Junhui. Tomorrow afternoon's "Ding-Tehui" will push this highland exhibition match to a climax. "The plateau…

On January 7th, Beijing time, after the announcement of the withdrawal from professional football by the Chinese Super League's "8-time champion" Guangzhou FC, 24-year-old star Abdurahman Ablimit updated his social media with a heartfelt message bidding farewell to Guangzhou FC, the team that has nurtured him for many years. Ablimit revealed that he arrived at Evergrande Football School in 2012 at the age of 12 and received training there for seven years without paying a single cent. The school once organized dozens of buses to take students to watch games at Tianhe Stadium. In 2015, he was sent to the Spanish branch for further education. Witnessing Guangzhou FC's predecessors winning the AFC Champions League, he felt just as excited and happy as the veterans on the field. In 2017, Ablimit returned to the club's youth ranks, where he won various titles and runners-up trophies, including the CSL Elite League Championship and the National League Championship. Due to fierce competition within the first team, Ablimit left the club in 2019 to join Kunshan FC. After helping Kunshan win the China League One title in 2022, Ablimit and his teammates faced a major setback when the club announced its dissolution following their successful promotion. When the relegated Guangzhou FC called upon him, Ablimit returned to his mother club without hesitation to compete in the second-tier league. Ablimit expressed that over the past two years, despite the lack of match bonuses and low wages, he remained joyful and grateful, stating, "Because I truly experienced pure football for the first time, a group of…

Official Announcement! Super Foreign Aid Signs Back, Once Scored 20 Points and 9 Rebounds in the NBA, The Dark Horse is Really Rich and Willful In the "Foreign Aid Life-and-Death Game" of the CBA: Why does Shanxi team change players like changing knives? "On the CBA court, foreign aid is the soul of winning, but the soul cannot be used in the wrong place." This sentence is correct. Recently, there has been a lot of noise about the replacement of foreign aid by Shanxi Fenjiu Team - cutting Walter Lemon Jr. and re-signing Harry Giles. Is this a smart operation or a helpless adventure? Let's explore it. First, let's look at the data. Lemon played 4 games for Shanxi team, averaging only 5.5 points, and even more absurdly, he scored zero in two games. As a foreign aid, such performance is really ridiculous. CBA teams want not just a vase, but a savior who can stand up in critical moments. What's the problem? Lemon's personal ability is actually not bad. He has had eye-catching performances in other leagues, but he is not adapting to the CBA. His offensive mode is too single, mainly relying on breakthroughs and layups. Facing the tough defense and fast-paced games of the CBA, he seems to have few options. Moreover, Shanxi team emphasizes overall tactics, and Lemon failed to integrate into them, which also made him "not long-lasting". After cutting Lemon, Shanxi team operated efficiently and quickly signed back the old acquaintance Giles. This decision reflects both the club's decisiveness and the team's obsession with…

In the first round of men's doubles, the national badminton team combination of He Jiting/Ren Xiangyu faced a tough battle against the English combination of Lane/Wendy. He Jiting/Ren Xiangyu suffered a single-game big comeback with a 7-point lead in the first game, narrowly losing 21-23. The score in the second game was still very close, and He Jiting/Ren Xiangyu managed to level the match with a 21-19 victory. In the decisive game, Lane/Wendy took the lead, and He Jiting/Ren Xiangyu chased to 11-15. However, after a medical timeout, He Jiting/Ren Xiangyu lost six points in a row, collapsing at the end of the game from 11-15 to 11-21. They ultimately lost the decisive game 11-21 after a grueling three-set match that lasted 71 minutes, ending their campaign in the first round of the new season's opening event with a 1-2 defeat to Lane/Wendy. In last season's year-end finals, He Jiting/Ren Xiangyu became the only pair of men's doubles to qualify for the national badminton team. However, due to a waist injury, they chose to withdraw after suffering consecutive losses in the first two rounds of the group stage. Now, after a period of rest and recuperation, Ren Xiangyu's waist injury should have been well treated and recovered. In the opening match of the new season, He Jiting/Ren Xiangyu joined the national badminton team to participate in the Super 1000 Malaysia Badminton Open. The world No. 7 He Jiting/Ren Xiangyu were…

According to NBA insider Hayes, the Phoenix Suns will be benching Nurkic and Beal starting from the next game, with Dunn and Plumlee taking their places in the starting lineup.

When everyone was looking forward to seeing the strong performance of defending champion Mark Allen, Chinese snooker player Xiao Guodong used his stable play to break through himself step by step and stopped Allen from reaching the final. In this match, Xiao Guodong defeated his opponent with a score of 6-3, advancing to his first Champion of Champions final in his career, becoming the pride of Chinese snooker. The start of the game was almost Xiao Guodong's leading show, starting with a particularly powerful momentum. In the first game, he showed an extraordinary state, scoring 65 points and winning the first game with a score of 71-65. Mark Allen obviously did not let this sudden situation disrupt his rhythm. In the second game, he responded with 53 points, successfully winning back a game, with a score of 1-1. But from the third game onwards, Xiao Guodong gradually found his feel, especially in the third game, when he scored twice over 50+, relying on excellent performances of 83 points and 71 points, he won two games in a row, leading 3-1. This game is obviously not that simple. Mark Allen is not just a name, as the defending champion, his experience and mental quality were fully demonstrated in the fourth game. Allen was merciless in this game, winning a key game with a score of 74-38. Then he won the sixth game with a good performance of 55 points, successfully leveling the score to 3-3. At…

The Chinese table tennis team is currently preparing in full swing for the Los Angeles Olympic cycle. The current Chinese team is very powerful overall, but we must not underestimate our opponents. China's main competitors, the Japanese team, have been actively promoting young players in recent years. The young Japanese players are growing and improving at a rapid pace, especially the 16-year-old Zhang Benmei, who has become a formidable opponent for the Chinese team. Zhang Benmei has experienced a major breakthrough in the new Olympic cycle, defeating many of China's main players multiple times. For example, Chinese players like Chen Xingtong and Wang Yidi have all lost to Zhang Benmei. Therefore, facing such a Zhang Benmei, the Chinese table tennis team cannot afford to be careless and must perform better to suppress this 16-year-old prodigy. In fact, the Chinese table tennis team is quite confident when facing Zhang Benmei because our two superstars, Sun Yingsha and Wang Manyu, can firmly suppress Zhang Benmei. Zhang Benmei has only won once against Sun Yingsha and suffered six consecutive losses. Against Wang Manyu, she has lost all three matches, trailing 0:3 in their total head-to-head record. Seeing the 16-year-old Zhang Benmei firmly suppressed by these two Chinese superstars, especially with six consecutive losses against Sun Yingsha and a 0-3 loss against Wang Manyu, people believe that Zhang Benmei will find it difficult to recover in the future, as it is hard to overcome these two major obstacles. Six consecutive losses! 0-3! The 16-year-old Zhang Benmei is suppressed by two Chinese superstars, netizens say…

Liaoning Team has recently made a big move, with fans still discussing the registration of Patton, the team has made headlines by signing James Webb, completing their roster of four foreign players, indicating they are serious about the game. Webb, who has had an interesting career in basketball circles, has traveled from the NBA to Europe and now to the CBA, accumulating a wealth of experience along the way. He performed well in the Turkish league, averaging over 15 points per game, with six or seven rebounds, and a shockingly high three-point shooting percentage, ranking first in efficiency. Webb shares a history with Liaoning's another foreign player, Fugge, as they both wore the American team's jersey during the Americas Cup, and now they meet again in Liaoning. Due to unpaid wages in Turkey, Webb was unhappy, and Liaoning seized the opportunity, finalizing the contract within three hours. Liaoning has invested significantly, buying out Webb's contract outright in a decisive move. The team offered Webb generous terms, signing him until the end of the season without any trial periods, aiming to keep him firmly within the squad. This decision is strategic, as Webb is highly sought after in Europe, and Liaoning's swift action is quite commendable. Webb is a versatile player, capable in both scoring and defense, and his ability to dribble despite his height is rare among big men. Liaoning's frontline has been problematic, with inconsistent performances from Fu Hao and Li Xiaoxu, and Zhang Zhenlin's injury. Webb's arrival will provide much-needed support. With strong foreign forwards like Lofton from…
