Huang Chengyi, the catcher of Shixin University baseball team, hit a home run at a speed of 131 kilometers per hour. He immediately threw away the bat, cheered and ran to the first base, and touched the second and third bases, easily running to the home plate and winning a point.

"OK, gas, water (Minnan: come on, great)!" Every time they scored, the players shouted slogans to cheer for their teammates and even rushed into the stadium to celebrate.

The 4th Cross-Strait Student Baseball League Finals kicked off on November 11th, and the tournament lasted for 8 days. There are four groups in this competition: University Group, U18 Group, U15 Group and U12 Group, with 32 teams from both sides of the Taiwan Strait participating. Among them, there are 20 teams from mainland China and 12 teams from Taiwan Province, and 80 games are held in 8 days, which makes baseball fans enjoy themselves.

Huang Chengyi has been playing baseball since the second grade of primary school, and this year is the first time to participate in the cross-strait student baseball league. He greeted the players from south university of science and technology of china with boxing during the break, and took the time to communicate on the base bag. "I really enjoy competing with my peers in the mainland. In addition to serious competitions these days, I want to walk and see more with my seniors and teammates in Shenzhen and find different scenery from different perspectives." Huang Wei said.

Although a game was covered with red mud, the players’ faces were filled with smiles. "I am very happy to compete with the young people in Taiwan Province. We will play our style, play our momentum and try our best." Zhang Saichen, a sophomore majoring in mechanical engineering in south university of science and technology of china, said.

"It rained this morning, but now there is no water on the court. When the rain stops, the game can start immediately. This stadium is really up to standard, and it is maintained by the professional team of the Asian Games venues. You can feel the care of running the competition everywhere. " Cai Zongxian, coach of Taiwan Province Zhongyuan University baseball team, told reporters.

This is the fourth consecutive time that Cai Zongxian has taken the baseball team of Zhongyuan University to the mainland. "These years have seen the improvement of the strength of the mainland university baseball team. And we promote training by competition and keep the rhythm of competition, which also plays an important role in improving the ability of the school team. Although many of the players I have brought have graduated, they have become good friends with mainland students and are still in contact. " Cai Zongxian said.

Liu Tingkuan, the outfielder of the baseball team of China Culture University, is a sophomore majoring in journalism. He talked with his classmates in Dalian University on the bus. "I’m curious about what classes they take and what they usually like to do. We can enhance mutual interaction through the exchange of baseball skills and hobbies. " Liu Tingkuan said.

For this competition, Xu Yong, CEO of the Cross-Strait Baseball Exchange and Cooperation Committee, is full of expectations. He said: "The Fourth Cross-Strait Student Baseball League Finals is of great significance for students from both sides of the Taiwan Strait to get acquainted and build a better platform for students from both sides of the Taiwan Strait. I hope they will become good friends, partners and brothers through this competition."

A total of 840 players participated in this year’s finals. For the first time, exchange activities and competitions were interspersed, and the time for communication outside the competition was greatly increased. Players from universities, primary and secondary schools on both sides of the strait exchange skills, make friends, appreciate the pulse of development, enhance emotional harmony, and promote "a family on both sides of the strait" through baseball exchanges.

I want to win glory for my country and add luster to my hometown!

This is the oath of hit the floor, a 16-year-old teenager of China Swimming Team, before going to the World Championships. Her words also represent the heartfelt wishes of the China Swimming Team.

Zhang Yufei is ready.

The swimming competition of the Fukuoka World Championships will be held from July 23rd to 30th. On July 19th, all the 41 members of the China Swimming Team have arrived.

At the last World Championships in Budapest, the China Swimming Team handed over a report card with 1 gold and 4 bronzes, among which only Yang Junxuan won a gold medal in the women’s 200m freestyle, and the men’s team failed to get any grain, which was much worse than the 3 gold, 2 silver and 1 bronze at the Tokyo Olympic Games.

As the last competition before the Asian Games in Hangzhou, we aim to practice by competition and swim with old and new China, hoping to adjust our state to the best before the Asian Games.

Pan zhanle

The great era of "Asian flying fish"

This time, many young faces appeared in the list of China swimming team.

Pan Zhanle is a rising star in Ran Ran in recent years. More than two months ago, at the age of 19, he won two gold medals in the national swimming championship in four days, breaking the Asian record held by South Korean player Huang Xuanyou for more than a year on the stage of 100-meter freestyle (50-meter long pool).

At the same time, in the men’s 200-meter freestyle final, he also rode the dust and defeated veteran Wang Shun, which was a world war I fame.

"I wanted to swim with Shunge (Wang Shun) in front, but later I felt I could go faster, so I let go of the swim. However, I am still a little worried about Shunge’s sprint ability in the last 50 meters. "

"When he won the championship at the Shaanxi National Games in 1 minute 46.14 seconds, I could only swim to 1 minute 48 seconds. I didn’t expect to really surpass my predecessors." Pan Zhanle said modestly after the game.

In fact, in last year’s World Championships in Budapest, Pan Zhanle, who was under 18 years old, had already made his mark-he broke the 48-second mark in the semifinals and finals of the 100-meter freestyle, and the final was only 0.08 second slower than the third place.

"I hope to compete with Popovich." This is what Pan Zhanle expected at that time-and as far as this year’s situation is concerned, Pan Zhanle is in better shape than the world record holder Popovich, and if he can play steadily on the spot, he is likely to hit the gold medal.

Yu yiting.

On the women’s side, Yu Yiting also had a brilliant performance in this year’s World Championships trials, winning 4 gold, 2 silver and 1 bronze.

After winning the women’s 200m medley in the national champion swimming competition in 2 minutes 08.34 seconds, Yu Yiting said:"I have practiced very solidly in every training class before the game, and I am making progress bit by bit. I can also feel the progress."

In addition, in this list, Gao Weizhong and Yang Peiqi are two strange names.

As the youngest member of this team, Gao Weizhong, who is only 15 years old, entered the final stage at the National Games at the age of 13 and finished sixth in the women’s 400-meter medley.

The 16-year-old Yang Peiqi, as a new face selected for the national team for the first time, has made her mark in provincial games and national youth competitions for many times, and won the championship at the crossing festival twice.

"I want to win glory for my country and add color to my hometown." Yang Peiqi said in an interview.

Veteran Wang Shun’s "Seven in and Seven out"

Young teenagers have indomitable spirit, while the veterans of the China swimming team are calm and enjoying the competitive arena.

"I’ve asked myself this question many times, but I can’t sleep easily after thinking about it, so don’t think about it and do it every day."Wang Shun answered this question when asked by a reporter whether he wanted to reach a grand slam in Fukuoka.

As a two-time short-course world champion and winner of the Tokyo Olympic Games, Wang Shun is one world champion away from the gold grand slam.

This year’s Fukuoka is already his seventh World Championships, and Wang Shun’s biggest opponent is French marchand-however, Wang Shun’s preparation events are less than marchand’s, which is Wang Shun’s advantage, but the veteran’s injury still exists.

Wang Shun is in training.

Besides Wang Shun, another Olympic champion, Ye Shiwen, bravely returned to the swimming pool.

"My mood is quite complicated." After the National Games in Shaanxi in 2021, Ye Shiwen didn’t go into the water for another year, but she won the runner-up in the women’s 200m medley again in this year’s National Spring Swimming Championships.

In an interview, Ye Shiwen said that the pressure of studying and training at the same time is great, but she has personally gained a lot.

Ye Shiwen.

"Learning has greatly improved me. Before, coaches participated more in training plans and technical formulation. Now I have the ability to think critically and can understand swimming from other angles."

"As long as there is love in your heart, age is not a problem." This sentence is what Ye Shiwen said to his parents, and it is also the heartfelt words of all the veterans of the China swimming team.

For example, Xu Jiayu, the elder brother of backstroke, after a year’s precipitation, Xu Jiayu swam 52.26 seconds in the men’s 100m backstroke in this year’s championship, ranking first in the world.

Can Zhang Yufei find her state again?

"It’s a pity that I missed the Grand Slam. I was a little hasty in preparing for this World Championships, and I didn’t achieve my goal. I am a little embarrassed for those fans who have been paying attention to me. But the goal is always there, and I will work hard there. "

This is Zhang Yufei’s statement after winning the World Championships in Budapest last year. At that time, her eyes were still firm.

As the leader of the China women’s swimming team, she bluntly said in the interview before the game about the goal of this Fukuoka World Championships:"The goal remains the same, but the mentality will be more calm."

Zhang Yufei is in training.

At the World Championships in Budapest, Zhang Yufei swam 16 shots in 8 days. After the baptism of high-intensity competitions, her mentality has improved qualitatively. In the National Swimming Championships in May this year, Zhang Yufei swept all the gold medals in women’s three butterfly events, but she was still not satisfied with her performance. "60 points" was her summary.

Since May, Zhang Yufei has trained specially for her weakness-lower limb strength, and got full marks in six items in the team physical fitness test on June 24th.

"Giving is rewarding." Zhang Yufei is pleased with her state-China Swimming is also expecting that she can break the "bronze curse" of the World Championships, win the gold medal from Canadian McIntosh and American Reagan Smith, and reach a grand slam.

Qin Haiyang

In addition to Zhang Yufei, the "new generation frog king" Qin Haiyang, as the backbone, also brought us surprises this year.

He broke the Asian record of the men’s 100m breaststroke, and was the only swimmer who scored 58 seconds in the upstream of this event this year, leading other athletes by a fault.

Because the Olympic breaststroke champion Pitty is absent from the Fukuoka World Championships, Qin Haiyang will become the most powerful contender for the gold medal.
