China Daily 0810 C5.Indd CHINA DAILY FRIDAY, AUGUST 10, 2012 olympics 5 off track ... CHINA APPEALS AGAIN The Chinese cycling team sent a second appeal letter to the Interna- tional Cycling Union (ICU) on Wednesday (London time) after the fi rst appeal was rejected last Friday. The cycling team appealed to the ICU and the International Olympic Committee after China was stripped of the gold in the women’s team sprint track cycling for making an early relay. However, ICU president Pat McQuaid said in an interview that the ref- eree’s decision will be the fi nal judgment, and the organization will not interfere. China was also fi ned 200 Swiss francs ($205) for intruding into the referees’ area. Pan Zhichen, manager of the Chinese cycling team, said in the sec- ond letter that quoting the game’s rules did not violate the regulation. He also questioned the referees’ double standards in the qualifi cation criteria and the fi nal. The Chinese team used the same riding techniques in three match- es, the letter explained. It also said that if China violated the rules, the judgment should have been made in the early rounds instead of after it won the title. The judging panel still didn’t give a believable explanation, which has hurt the riders and coaches, the letter said. The subjective judgment also exerted a negative infl uence over the sport’s development in China, it added.

    4 olympics MONDAY, AUGUST 6, 2012 CHINA DAILY Wu equals medals record with 3m triumph By ROBERT SMITH in London Agence France-Presse China’s Wu Minxia won the women’s 3m springboard diving gold medal to draw level with Guo Jingjing as the most-decorated div- er at the Olympics with six medals on Sunday. World champion Wu totaled 414.00 points from her fi ve dives to beat teammate He Zi (379.20) and Mexico’s Laura Sanchez (362.40). Wu’s victory was China’s fi ft h gold medal from fi ve events as it attempts an unprecedented sweep of all eight diving medals in London. China won seven out of eight diving events at the Beijing Games four years ago, having won all 10 diving gold medals at last year’s Shanghai World Championships. Wu reeled off an impeccable back 2.5 somersault on her last dive to clinch the gold medal with a score of 85.50. She led aft er the opening round with 79.50 for a back 2.5 somer- sault from Italy’s Tania Cragnotto and He. He nailed 83.70 for a forward 3.5 somersault to take the lead from Wu (79.75) with Cragnotto drop- ping back to third. But Wu retrieved the lead with a gem forward 3.5 somersault that netted her 85.25. Another exquisite dive, a reverse 2.5 somersault, earned Wu 84.00 to give her a 13.50 points buffer over He going into the fifth and fi nal round. Wu, who won the synchronized 3m springboard with He, made sure of her fi rst individual Olympic gold medal with her showstopper fi nal dive to beat her teammate by 34.80 points.

    1 Iniciado 2017 con la Medalla de Plata de los JJOO de Río en la memoria, cerrábamos así un ciclo olímpico de una forma inmejorable y que nos dio el empuje necesario para comenzar la preparación para los Juegos de Tokio 2020 con la satisfacción de estar entre las mejores potencias internacionales. Como cualquier año postolímpico, 2017 ha sido un año de cambios, de renovación de estrategias, proyectos deportivos y nuevas generaciones de gimnastas. Los comienzos de ciclo nunca son fáciles, pero las ganas de nuestros gimnastas, desde los más veteranos a los más jóvenes, sus entrenadores y cuerpos técnicos y de todo aquel que vive y siente la gimnasia como lo hacemos nosotros nos ha permitido que el balance de 2017 sea ilusionante. Sabemos que quedan muchas cosas por hacer, pero también confamos que vamos en una buena dirección para nuestro deporte. En 2017 afanzamos la confanza que nuestros patrocinadores habían depositado en nosotros en 2016 y gracias a ellos pudimos poner en marcha nuevas competiciones como la Liga Iberdrola de GR y de GAF, mejorar los escenarios de competición, que nos ha ayudado, entre otras cosas, a incrementar la difusión y visibilidad de nuestro deporte e incluso a concluir con éxito el rodaje de un documental en La India con el equipo subcampeón olímpico de GR. Ha sido el año del asentamiento dentro de la Federación Internacional de Gimnasia y de la Unión Europea de Gimnasia. Nuestras responsabilidades en estos organismos están ayudando a posicionar la gimnasia española como referente para otras muchas federaciones nacionales. Esta experiencia me hace estar motivado y confado para colaborar con los organismos deportivos mas importantes de nuestro país y pasar a formar parte durante este nuevo ciclo del Comité Ejecutivo del Comité Olímpico Español por lo que es para mí y la federación a la que represento todo un honor y trataremos de estar a la altura.

Since Shakespeare’s works were first introduced into China in 1904, Shakespeare in China has witnessed several phases of developments. In each phase, the characteristic of Shakespeare studies in China is closely associated with the political and cultural situation of the time. This thesis chronicles and analyzes noteworthy scholarship of Shakespeare studies in China, especially since the 1990s, in terms of translation, literary criticism, and performances, and forecasts new territory for future studies of Shakespeare in China. iv Table of Contents Introduction ………………………………………………………………………………1 Section 1 Oriental and Localized Shakespeare: Translation of Shakespeare’s Plays in China …………………………………………………………………... 3 Section 2 Interpretation and Decoding: Contemporary Chinese Shakespeare Criticism……………………………………………………………….

As is evident by this Annual Report, we have made great strides in many areas, and there is still so much more work to be done. Highlights for me, especially as a men’s national team alumnus, include the men’s bronze medal at the 2017 World League finals and that team’s World Championship qualification. As well, it’s great to see the women’s indoor team progress at its home base in Richmond, and convincingly beating Cuba to qualify for the World Championships last fall. Needless to say, we’ve seen world-class strides made on the beach side over the past several years – for the first time having a world number 1 ranked team on the beach tour on the women’s side this past year, and both the men and women medaling at the first-ever Commonwealth Games beach tournament in Australia. Our sitting athletes are a constant source of inspiration to so many, including myself, and it’s great to see them working so hard toward Paralympic Games qualification. I was also very impressed by the work done leading up to and including the major Nationals event in Edmonton.
