What does 16th Asian Games tell the world - People's Daily OnlineNovember 22, 2010
China has led medal count at the halfway mark of the 16th Asian Games in Guangzhou. This event is truly a grand festival which, held every four years, has kept going along the half-century history of Asian Games track under the banner of "Unity, Friendship and Progress". The concerned efforts of three billion Asians have been playing a growing role of vital importance for the world's economic, political and cultural progress and development.
Asian Games tells the world that best athletic achievements have been created in Asia as most of the top-ranked table tennis and badminton players have displayed their feats to the audience; many athletes have come to the fore in shooting, weightlifting, swimming, gymnastics, diving, wrestling and other events; and even players of the three relatively backward balls, track and field sports and other events have striven to catch up with the world's advanced levels. So, Asia does not play a supporting role in world sports and, without these ace athletes, the World Series will be less attractive.
Asian Games tells the world that the Olympic movement should take more ethnical, cultural contents into account. Such popular sports as Dragon boat and the martial art and a few other typical games from the East that do not resemble Olympic events invented by Westerners due to their blending of richer cultural functions. People in the Orient now perform in line with their own understanding of the Olympic culture and make the physical culture so dazzling and splendor.
Asian Games tells the world that people in Asia need much harmony and their development need much passion as the Asian history has been plagued by frequent disasters or misfortunes. The Asian Games, having persevered in for nearly 60 years, is currently in full swing, alive and dynamic. Though most of the Asian nations are in a developing state, they can make the games a resounding success, and they likewise regard the great sports gathering as a great opportunity for development.
Asia has a vast territory with a variety of ethnics, a huge wealth gap, an ethnic diversity and multi-faiths of people. "Our Asia, the mountains are its exalted head, our Asia, the rivers flow like warm blood " Asian Games' sports spirit is shown no less advantageous than in any similar global sports competitions, and the attitude of athletes from Asian countries and regions in the Games is definitely no inferior in term of the callous approach shown at other great world games.
A teenage table tennis player from Qatar, Mohammad Al-Saadi, despite his loss to all peers at the Games, said he enjoyed it as he had a trial of strength with world top players. Meanwhile, famous South Korean simmer Park Tae-hwan, who beat China's ace swimmer Zhang Lin in the final, kept pulling him to pose for pictures and consoled him, saying that whoever would have a state of downturn sometimes. Contents at the Asian Games create intense interest but a swap of skills can result in magnetic resonance image (MRI).
"Thanks to the great Asian Games volunteers, and this is what the President Jacques Rogge of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) wrote down. And Prince Ahmad Fahad Al-Sabah, the president of the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) said at the Asian Games' opening ceremony that "hundreds of thousands of security guards and volunteers are "Guangzhou's business cards" and without their service and help the Games will be unable to function efficiently or effectively.
"Is it not a pleasure to have friends coming from afar!" This reflects an enlightenment of China's ancient civilization from the land of ceremony and propriety as well as an inheritance or legacy that should not be got lost for a single moment in China's reform and opening-up or scientific development. Millions of Guangzhou residents, who are just behind tens of thousands of volunteers, are all feeling very proud to contribute their share in hosting the great event.
In a great get-together during a dozen day event, athletes have been heard repeatedly that they felt an inspiring and exciting thing in the face of so much encourage from the audience and, as for the hosts of the event, they felt real great that guests to the Games would be left with more beautiful memories of the Guangzhou Games.
Medals will be carried way with the end of the festival, but 16th Asian Games will leave itself, Asia and the rest of the world not just sports feats but a brand-new outlook on an open city, a large developing nation and a rising continent. From the Asian Games in Beijing to the Asian Games in Guangzhou over the past two decades, some athletes competing for the games in 1990 have been turned into coaches and the newborn then are now leading players at the ongoing Games. The themed Song "Asia Mighty Winds" will continue to ring on and on with sonorous, deafening sounds.

Chinese Taipei sweeps gold, silver in Asiad tennis doubles - People's Daily OnlineNovember 22, 2010
Chinese Taipei swept gold and silver medals of tennis doubles at the Asian Games on Monday, with pair Chan Yung Jan and Chuang Chia Jung beating teammates Chang Kai Chen and Hsieh Suwei to bag the crown.
The two duos thrashed respective rivals in previous day's semifinals, sending the Chinese Taipei atop the doubles podium in advance.
In the final, top seed Chan Yung Jan and Chuang Chia Jung, silver medallists of the Doha Asian Games, swamped their fellow peers 7-5, 6-3 in one hour and 20 minutes. The winners fired eight aces and broke the serve six times.
"Both of our two pairs did a good job in the final, and I'm so glad that the Chinese Taipei bagged both gold and silver of the doubles," said gold winner Chuang Chia Jung after the Games.
She called the Chinese mainland a "blessed place" where she always enjoyed victories. In October's China Open, Chuang Chia Jung and Olga Govortsova beat top seed Gisela Dulko/Flavia Pennetta 2-1 in the final to secure a gold medal.
Chang Kai Chen, who settled for silver, said she had to improve to catch up with Chan and Chuang, and she learned a lot from the final which was held in "harmonious" atmosphere.
Head coach of the Chinese Taipei team Lian Yuhui appreciated the performances of his players, adding the two pairs played aggressively in the final and presented an excellent show.
It is the second tennis title for the Chinese Taipei at the ongoing Asian Games, with the other one captured in men's team event.
Later in the mix doubles final, Chinese Taipei's Yang Tsung Hua and Chan Yung Jan will compete for another gold against defending champion India's Sania Mirza and her pair Vishnu Vardhan.

Chinese women unleash 'unstoppable' steamroller in Rugby - People's Daily Online

China demolished Korea 51-0 on Sunday in the first-ever Women's Rugby Match at the 16th Asian Games to confirm its status as the gold medal favorite.
China, the dominant force in Women's Rugby Sevens, turned the match into an artful try-scoring exercise that left the Koreans aghast at the host's speed as it squeezed out nine tries in 15 minutes.
"We didn't know what to do with them. They were so fast and unstoppable," said Korea captain Lee Min-hui, whose team only made its international debut in July. "We felt completely helpless."
China captain Liu Yan said the victory was "easy and comfortable", and predicted it would spur more young Chinese to consider picking up the rough-and-tumble sport.
"It is a great opportunity for the sport to be recognised in China so more people can start to play," said the 24-year-old, who described her introduction to Rugby as a case of love at first sight.
"People have so many misconceptions about girls playing Rugby in China. They think the sport is violent and not suitable for women," she said.
"But the truth is that we try to avoid body contact as much as possible by picking our tactics carefully and keeping a high pace. It's as much about brains as it is about brawn."
There are less than 30 women playing Rugby at a professional level on the mainland, compared to 10 times that number in Hong Kong, China.
Nine of China's 12 national team members hail from China Agriculture University, which established the country's first women's team in 2004.
With Rugby Sevens set to join the Olympic roster at the Rio de Janeiro Games in 2016, Liu's team has managed to secure funding and training equipment to assist its progress. Teams have also been set up at the provincial level in China to scout more talent for the national side.
"The biggest problem is that we don't have any income playing rugby. We need to hold down full-time jobs to support our dream," Liu said.
"There are many talented students who can't juggle both and have no choice but to quit when they find a job, even though they are passionate about the sport and would love to keep playing."
Zhang Xiaoning, chairman of the China Rugby Football Association, said Rugby's popularity at the Asian Games has grown consistently since the Men's Sevens and union debuted in Bangkok in 1998.
"The highly-competitive, non-stop action has proven a hit with fans and broadcasters across Asia," he said. "We are particularly excited about welcoming Women's Rugby Sevens to Guangzhou. I'm sure it will also be a hit."
Judging by the size of the crowds at University Town Main Stadium, Zhang's prediction was spot-on.
More than 30,000 people turned up on day one of the competition - the highest attendance rate at a venue so far at the Guangzhou Games - to see China make mincemeat of a shell-shocked Korean side, one of four women's games scheduled on Sunday.
"I've never seen this many people cheering for us before. All of the players are thrilled," said Liu. "The fans have filled us with confidence that we can win the gold."
China's biggest rival is Kazakhstan, which took India to the cleaners 50-0, and Thailand, which edged Hong Kong, China 17-14. Japan beat Singapore 19-12 in the final women's game of the day.
The Men's Preliminaries also included three fantastically lopsided results, with Japan crushing Mongolia 55-0, Thailand shutting out Mongolia 52-0 and India only managing five points to Korea's 43 on a day that also saw China and Hong Kong, China win.
