    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.

  • Olympic Badminton Teams Disqualified
    Olympic Badminton Teams Disqualified By Ryan Yuen August 3rd, 2012 Four female badminton pairs, the top seeds from China, one from Indonesia and two from South Korea, have been ejected from the Olympics for trying to lose matches on Tuesday. They were kicked out of the tournament the next day and have been charged with “not using one's best efforts to win a match and conducting oneself in a manner that is clearly abusive or detrimental to the sport,” by the Badminton World Federation (BWF). The players were accused of “not doing their best to win a match and abusing or demeaning the sport” by the BWF so that they could play less challenging opponents in future matches. Their continuous serves to the net and returns out of bounds made it apparent that all four pairs were not trying their best. Spectators replied with boos and downward pointing thumbs, expressing their anger towards the players for their awful performance and sportsmanship. All the players had been Qualified for the Quarterfinals before the matches on Tuesday, not giving them many benefits of winning and making the more favorable choice to seem like losing. China lost the match to South Korea 21-14, 21-11, proving themselves to be the better losers and successfully getting into the less challenging side of the draw to avoid playing China’s number two seeded pair. The Chinese doubles pair gave their apologies for their actions after their disqualification. "I think firstly we should apologize to the Chinese audience, because we did not demonstrate the Olympic spirit.

  • History of Badminton
    Facts and Records History of Badminton In 1873, the Duke of Beaufort held a lawn party at his country house in the village of Badminton, Gloucestershire. A game of Poona was played on that day and became popular among British society’s elite. The new party sport became known as “the Badminton game”. In 1877, the Bath Badminton Club was formed and developed the first official set of rules. The Badminton Association was formed at a meeting in Southsea on 13th September 1893. It was the first National Association in the world and framed the rules for the Association and for the game. The popularity of the sport increased rapidly with 300 clubs being introduced by the 1920’s. Rising to 9,000 shortly after World War Π. The International Badminton Federation (IBF) was formed in 1934 with nine founding members: England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Denmark, Holland, Canada, New Zealand and France and as a consequence the Badminton Association became the Badminton Association of England. From nine founding members, the IBF, now called the Badminton World Federation (BWF), has over 160 member countries. The future of Badminton looks bright. Badminton was officially granted Olympic status in the 1992 Barcelona Games. Indonesia was the dominant force in that first Olympic tournament, winning two golds, a silver and a bronze; the country’s first Olympic medals in its history. More than 1.1 billion people watched the 1992 Olympic Badminton competition on television. Eight years later, and more than a century after introducing Badminton to the world, Britain claimed their first medal in the Olympics when Simon Archer and Jo Goode achieved Mixed Doubles Bronze in Sydney.

  • Are Sportspersons Good Moral Role Models?
    PHYSICAL CULTURE AND SPORT. STUDIES AND RESEARCH DOI: 10.2478/pcssr-2014-0023 Are Sportspersons Good Moral Role Models? Authors’ contribution: Roger Melin A) conception and design of the study School of Humanities and Media, Sweden B) acquisition of data C) analysis and interpretation of data D) manuscript preparation E) obtaining funding ABSTRACT It has been thought that sportspersons, through their participation in sport, acquire moral attitudes and behavior that make them good moral role models. These moral attitudes and behavior can be called the ethos of sport, and consist of the principles of fair play and courage, justice, and honesty. In this article, it is argued that this belief is mistaken. Through four very common examples of sporting practice, it is shown that sport, contrary to providing a good basis for proper moral behavior, promotes what otherwise would be called non-moral attitudes and behavior. As a conclusion, it is pointed out that sportspersons might very well be good moral role models, but that they would be moral role models in spite of the fact that they are involved in sporting activities. KEYWORDS ethos of sport, role model, sporting practice Introduction In a football game between Lazio and Napoli in 2012 in the Italian league, the Lazio player Miroslav Klose receives a ball that he manages to put inside the opponents‘ net, and the referee judges it to be a goal. Klose at first celebrates the goal, but later he realizes that the decision was not correct, since he used his hand to score the goal. He informs the referee, who changes his decision and awards a free kick to the defending team due to Klose‘s foul play (E.

Despite missing several key mem- bers, including former women’s leader Zhang Yining, who retired in 2008, China still seems invincible in the face of challenges from South Korea, Ger- many and Singapore. “Th e Olympics holds diff erent mean- ings for diff erent teams. But for us, it only means winning as many gold med- als as we can,” said Liu Guoliang, head coach of the men’s squad. Still, offi cials remain alert. “We are confi dent in our players. But to win all four gold medals is much more diffi cult than expected,” said team leader Huang Biao. China has won 20 out of 24 gold medals available since the game was introduced into the Olympic program in 1988. Four years ago in Beijing, it took away all six medals in the men’s and women’s singles, plus gold in both team events.
