On January 17th, Beijing time, the Japan Football Association officially announced a list of 14 newly promoted first-class referees. Among them, a referee named "Fu Ming" was notably included. According to information released by the Japan Football Association, this referee named "Fu Ming" is affiliated with the Tokyo Metropolitan Football Association. The Japanese football magazine "Gekisaka" directly published an article stating that this referee is indeed the international-level referee Fu Ming. If it is indeed the familiar CSL referee Fu Ming we know, it is expected that Fu Ming will "go abroad" and be permanently stationed in Japan for the new season, and may serve as the main referee in the J-League. As of now, other authoritative Japanese media have not followed up on the report, even the Japanese men's football team's accompanying reporter, Takeuchi, has also reposted the message, expressing his surprise. It is known that first-class referees of the Japan Football Association can undertake all football events held by the Japan Football Association. Born in 1983, Fu Ming became a national-level referee in 2008, obtained the qualification to enforce international-level matches in 2014, became an AFC elite referee in 2015, and won the silver whistle in the selection for the best referee award in the 2016 CSL season. Since then, Fu Ming has served as the main referee in many focus battles in the CSL. On the international stage, Fu Ming has also served as a referee for the AFC Champions League, Asian Cup, U20 World Cup, Tokyo Olympics, Club World Cup, etc., and was even included in…

In the first major event of the 2025 world badminton season, the Malaysia Open, Wang Zhiyi performed well in the women's singles competition, overcoming strong opponents to reach the final. Unfortunately, she lost to South Korean prodigy An Se-young and had to settle for the runner-up position. This week, Wang Zhiyi embarked on the Super 750 India Open with the national team. On this match day, Wang Zhiyi faced Japanese youngster Miyazaki Tomoka. After the start of the game, Wang Zhiyi was in good form but gradually lost control of the rhythm, allowing Miyazaki to reverse and win the first set. Subsequently, due to leg discomfort, Wang Zhiyi could not continue and chose to withdraw from the match, ending the run of the second seed early! Born in 2006, Miyazaki Tomoka is a rising star in women's singles that Japan is currently focusing on cultivating. Although she is young, her latest world ranking has reached No. 11, and her personal strength cannot be underestimated. However, in terms of immediate combat effectiveness, there is still a gap compared to Wang Zhiyi, who is ranked second in the world. This can also be seen from their past head-to-head records. In last season's China Badminton Open, Wang Zhiyi defeated Miyazaki Tomoka in straight sets in the final, lifting the women's singles championship trophy. After the start of this tournament, both Wang Zhiyi and Miyazaki Tomoka encountered tenacious resistance from their opponents in the first round. Miyazaki Tomoka fought hard for three sets to eliminate Thai player Boonpiya, while Wang Zhiyi also went through…

In September 2024, an official announcement from the Chinese Football Association (CFA) shed some light on the anti-corruption efforts in Chinese football, particularly on the "Hao Wei Line." The notice explicitly stated that Guo Tianyu had sought improper benefits, engaged in improper transactions, manipulated football matches, and obtained illegal gains. Consequently, he was handed a lifetime ban from participating in any football-related activities. However, this punishment was predicated on Guo still being a Chinese football player. What was peculiar was that after Shandong removed him from their roster in August, Chiangrai United of the Thai League (T1) announced on August 8 that Guo had joined the team as a free agent. After joining Chiangrai United, Guo Tianyu made consecutive appearances for the team and even secured a starting position at one point. However, his performance significantly declined, with ten games yielding no goals or assists. On August 25, during the third round of the T1 League, Guo made his debut. On October 4, Chiangrai United hosted Nan Bunnok Warriors, with Guo starting for the team. It is worth noting that the CFA had already issued its ban on Guo at this time. The awkward part was that Guo completely disregarded the ban; since he was in Thailand, the CFA could not enforce it, and FIFA essentially turned a blind eye, making the ban seem like a joke. On January 15, 2025, in the 17th round of the T1 League, Chiangrai United lost away to Buriram United, with Guo coming off the bench. This marked his return to the field after…

"Team has no hope," said Beijing men's basketball head coach Xu Limin after a crushing 27-point loss to Beikong. This statement likely chilled the hearts of many fans and players. The score of 102 to 129 was not just a simple loss but felt like an announcement that the entire season's efforts had been wasted. What does it mean when a coach openly expresses such despair after a game? How much hope is left for Beijing men's basketball? The game speaks for itself, and Beijing's loss exposed clear problems: their defense was truly terrible! Opponents Beikong's Salinge and Chen Guohao combined for 52 points and 22 rebounds. What does this mean? It means that Beijing's interior defense was completely torn apart, leaving gaping holes. Looking back, when Zhou Qi joined Beijing, many believed the team's frontcourt had made a qualitative leap due to his height, defensive awareness, and experience. But now? Without Zhou Qi, the entire interior defense crumbled. Xu Limin's arrangement of Fan Ziming and Qiu Tian did not plug the gaps; instead, they became a "paper wall" easily overrun by Beikong players. This game not only chilled fans with the statistics but also instilled a deep unease - this is a team that can't defend at all! After all, "the opponent's offense is flourishing, yet you don't even have a decent defense to slow them down." Does that make sense? Poor defense is one thing, but the offense was also chaotic and incomprehensible. Watching the game, many fans couldn't help but complain, feeling that Beijing had no clear…

Gu Ailing has won another championship. At only 21 years old, she has already stood on the podium as champion 18 times in the World Cup, and is almost considered the strongest in this field. However, Gu Ailing is not satisfied, as she has even bigger goals. Last night, at the Freestyle Skiing Slopestyle World Cup in Laax, Gu Ailing participated in the final. A total of 8 athletes competed in the final, with Gu Ailing, who ranked first in the preliminary round, being the last to perform. In the final, Gu Ailing scored 81.22 points in the first round, ranking first and leading by a wide margin. In the second round, Gu Ailing continued her impressive performance with a score of 80.91 points. Ultimately, Gu Ailing's score was 81.22 points, securing her victory. None of the other competitors were able to score above 73 points. The second-place finisher had a score of 72.80 points, far behind Gu Ailing. Standing on the podium, Gu Ailing was very happy and excitedly interacted with the audience. This championship is the 18th World Cup title for Gu Ailing, continuing to break the world record she holds. On December 22, 2024, Gu Ailing surpassed Tessa Ledeux to become the sole holder of the most World Cup titles in freestyle skiing. She is truly a historical first! Prior to this, Gu Ailing had consecutively won the U-shaped venue skills championship at the World Cup events in New Zealand, Beijing Yunding, and Copper Mountain in the United States. Yesterday's competition marked Gu Ailing's first participation in…

On January 17th, during the women's singles quarterfinals of the World Badminton Federation India Open, Chinese player Wang Zhiyi faced off against Japanese player Miyazaki Tomoka. The first set started normally, with Wang Zhiyi leading 8-2. However, the situation changed dramatically as Miyazaki Tomoka caught up and eventually tied and overtook the score, winning the first set 21-16. Surprisingly, during the break between sets, Wang Zhiyi requested to withdraw from the match to the referee. It is worth noting that Wang Zhiyi is the sixth, sixth, and sixth Chinese player to withdraw from this India Open. In the first round, Chen Boyang/Liu Yi, Chinese badminton team players who won the men's doubles runner-up last week at the Malaysia Open, were playing against their teammates Xie Haonan/Zeng Weihan when they suddenly withdrew after the first set reached 4-6. In the previous round, Jia Yifan/Zhang Shuxian, who also won the women's doubles runner-up last week at the Malaysia Open, suddenly withdrew during their match against the Thai pair Chen Kangle/Tina when the first set reached 4-14. Similarly, in the first round, Hong Kong, China player Lo Shuen Yan withdrew after finishing the first set of her match against Japanese player Ninomiya Natsuki. This means that the rumors of a "withdrawal wave" among Chinese players at the India Open have been confirmed. Within four days, six players from one country have withdrawn, which is quite astonishing. Withdrawing one or two players may be accidental, but if six players withdraw, there must be a certain inevitability. According to relevant reports, the water that flows…

Shandong Taishan Team is making steady preparations for the new season, with the most eye-catching event being the addition of new signing Tang Chuang. Under the leadership of head coach Choi Kang-hee, the team has welcomed this promising forward, and Tang Chuang has quickly won the recognition of the coaching staff and fans with his performance. Tang Chuang is a young forward born in 1996, currently at the prime of his career. On his first training session with Taishan Team, he displayed an impressive professional attitude and technical ability. His serious and focused training attitude, coupled with flexible and varied positioning awareness, immediately caught the attention of the fans and coaching staff on site. Many fans, after watching his training performance, expressed that Tang Chuang's strength is significantly better than that of Bi Jinhao, who joined last season. This comparison is not without basis. First, from the age perspective, Tang Chuang, as a 26-year-old player, is at the best stage of his career, with both physical functions and technical levels at their peak. During his time with Chengdu Rongcheng last season, Tang Chuang demonstrated outstanding attacking abilities, especially in the match against Shanghai Port, where he scored twice in a spectacular performance. This match became an important reference for Taishan Team to bring him in. In contrast, Bi Jinhao was already 33 years old when he joined Taishan Team, at the declining stage of his career. Prior to this, his performance with Changchun Yatai had already shown signs of physical decline, and many fans considered his signing to be controversial.…

For every athlete, winning an Olympic gold medal is the dream of a lifetime. However, many athletes spend their entire careers chasing this dream, only to be left with regret. Compared to these individuals, Chen Xuexia was incredibly lucky, as she managed to win a gold medal at the 2008 Olympics despite being injured. This resilience earned her admiration from many, but what was unexpected was that Chen Xuexia had actually cheated to win this gold medal. After being investigated, she has since disappeared without a trace. What cheating methods did Chen Xuexia use? And why did she cheat? The Amazing Feat at the Beijing Olympics In 2008, the Beijing Olympics arrived as scheduled. Weightlifting has always been a traditional strength for the Chinese team, but in the women's 48-kilogram event, China had missed out on the gold medal for two consecutive Olympics. This time, the Chinese weightlifting community pinned their hopes on two athletes: veteran Yang Lian and newcomer Chen Xuexia. However, just before the opening of the Olympics, Chen Xuexia suffered an accidental injury during training, which appeared to be quite serious. When everyone thought that Chen Xuexia would not be able to participate in the Olympics, a miracle occurred. On the last day of Olympic registration, Chen Xuexia's injury miraculously healed. After careful consideration, the coaching staff decided to replace Yang Lian with the in-form Chen Xuexia. On August 9, 2008, the women's 48-kilogram weightlifting final at the Beijing Olympics kicked off at the Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics weightlifting hall. Chen Xuexia excelled in the…
