Unconventional water in Bozhou City has been effectively utilized in the construction of water-saving enterprises.

  Recently, Bozhou Everbright Green Bioenergy (Guoyang) Co., Ltd., which is characterized by unconventional water utilization, was named as the tenth batch of provincial water-saving enterprises by Anhui Provincial Water Resources Department and Provincial Department of Economy and Information Technology.

  Based on the principle of "zero" emission, the enterprise has implemented the best water-saving scheme in all water-using links, and consolidated management and overall distribution of multiple water supply systems for production, living, greening and fire protection. All the production links use reclaimed water from the sewage treatment plant in Guoyang Economic Development Zone, with an annual water intake of about 450,000 cubic meters, which is mainly used for power generation circulating cooling and desalting water production and preparation; Covering an area of 193 mu, the factory area has achieved global rainwater collection, in which an open underground rainwater collection pool has been built, and all rainwater, road washing water and backwashing water are collected into the rainwater collection pool for reuse. The index of water consumption per unit product is better than the advanced value of industrial water consumption quota in Anhui Province, which sets a water-saving benchmark for similar enterprises. In recent years, Bozhou City has continued to establish water-saving enterprises in high-water consumption industries and key water-using enterprises, strictly supervised daily water intake and water saving, encouraged and supported enterprises to increase unconventional water utilization, strived to reduce water consumption per unit product and effectively reduced waste water discharge.

  In the next step, Bozhou will continue to improve the water-saving management mechanism and strengthen water-saving management as a guarantee, focusing on water-saving technological transformation and project construction, and cultivate more water-saving enterprises with distinctive highlights, making new and greater contributions to the city’s water-saving emission reduction and green development.

The fairy prince Orlando’s daughter was born, and his eldest son is 9 years old. The filming of the new film makes fans look forward to it.

On August 27th, Sister Fruit and the daughter of Orlando Bloom, the "Elf Prince", were announced to be born, and the warm hand-in-hand photos of the family of three were also exposed. The daughter’s arms were fleshy and she put her hand on her father’s hand cutely.
It is also a very difficult process for them to get to this day. After being photographed in the same frame for 16 years, their love affair was exposed. Fans thought that Prince Elf would have a sweet relationship with Sister Fruit, but they didn’t expect them to be on and off, and they also staged a drama of "unforgettable North America".
After being photographed by the media, the two did not shy away, but instead made a high-profile date and did not care about the eyes of others. In March 2017, I broke up quickly, just together for one year. Fans haven’t come out of the sad mood yet. In August of the same year, they were told that they had been reunited and their feelings were in full swing. After 19 years, the mother of Fruit Sister had a diamond ring, which confirmed that the two stars had entered a new stage of their lives.
In fact, it is not the first time for both of them to get married. Sister Fruit has always been vigorous and vigorous. After one year of marriage with actor Brand, she began to go through divorce procedures, and she was quite decisive in her love. The Elf Prince and his ex-wife miranda kerr have only been married for three years, and miranda kerr has been framed with Fruit Sister, both of whom are in very good condition.
Orlando Bloom, who is 43 years old, has always been a hero in the hearts of fans because of his outstanding face value. However, in recent years, he has been slightly lacking in maintenance, and he has begun to look out of shape and often appears in sloppy clothes, which is very different from his previous image.
However, Orlando Bloom’s achievements in acting are still worth mentioning. In 2001, The Lord of the Rings made him an instant hit, and since then he has been named "Prince of the Elves". In 2003, Pirates of the Caribbean and Depp competed in several sequels, plus the Hobbit 3 for 15 years. Orlando Bloom has been very successful in choosing plays, which are both classics with a double harvest at the box office.
Orlando Bloom not only developed in foreign entertainment circles, but also filmed the China film "Extreme Pursuit" for 16 years. At that time, he was almost 40 years old and still had a very high face value and a very good figure management, but it was a bit strange to play with China actors.
Fans are also very much looking forward to his new play. During the epidemic at home, Orlando Bloom revealed that he was preparing for the new play "Retaliation Revenge" in an online interview with Feilunxiu in August, and also mentioned his son with Miranda Kerr in the interview. They did a lot of interesting things during the epidemic and expressed their great expectation for the birth of their daughter.
The fans in Orlando Bloom are very excited to hear the news of shooting a new play. After all, the Elf Prince is now too Buddhist, and now he is back to his family. It is the expectation of fans to have a new play.
Reporting/feedback

China people learned English this way more than 150 years ago.

  It is inferred from the appearance and content that the English book of such an ancestor should belong to the Qing Dynasty. Experts believe that if it is a good book, then this book has scientific research value.

  The English book of our ancestors was read in this way, and 12 small squares were drawn. Each square was filled with an English sentence, with Chinese sentence patterns at the top, English sentence patterns in the middle and Chinese phonetic notation at the bottom. These phonetic symbols were all replaced by Chinese characters.

  It’s not garbled, it’s "phonetic symbol"

  tomorrow i give you answer to do with my friend

  Tuo Ma Liu, Yi Yi, He Fu, You, Yi Wu Shi Wei, Tu, Du, Hui Fu, Buy Yi, Don’t forget.

  "Tuo Ma Liu, Yi Yi, and Fu, You, Yi Wu Shi Wei", "Tu, Du, Hui Fu, Buy Yi, Don’t leave" … … These illogical words are superimposed together, which makes many people think that they are garbled. In the late Qing Dynasty, when there was no repeater, English pronunciation depended on these garbled words.

  Yesterday, Mr. Yao, a citizen of Chengdu, showed a collection of English textbooks printed with the words "Ten Years of Xianfeng". The words "garbled" on them correspond to English sentences, namely "tomorrow i give you answer" and "to do with my friend". According to experts from the Western Sichuan Literature Restoration Center, it is inferred from the printing, font and content of this book that the English book should be authentic and belong to the late Qing Dynasty. However, due to the lack of physical objects for the time being, it is impossible to infer the specific age. Some experts in modern history say that the phenomenon of Chinese phonetic learning English is very common in modern times.

  Pronunciation of Chinese Characters The Qing Dynasty "tried to figure it out" when learning English.

  Seven or eight years ago, Mr. Yao, a citizen of Chengdu, scoured a pile of old books from the second-hand book market in Chongqing, and one of them, a book in traditional Chinese characters without a cover, aroused his interest. "There are English letters under the traditional Chinese characters." Mr. Yao told reporters that this book has forty or fifty pages, turning from left to right. The first few pages contain the words "Ten Years of Xianfeng" (1860).

  At the beginning of the English Annotations Catalogue, there are marked categories such as Geography Gate, Monarch Gate, Mentor Gate, Palace Gate, Hardware Gate, etc. In the book, 12 small squares are drawn, each with an English sentence pattern at the top, an English sentence pattern in the middle and Chinese phonetic notation at the bottom. These phonetic symbols are all replaced by Chinese characters.

  Some English pronunciations marked with Chinese characters now look ridiculous. For example, "just reduce by half" is translated as "Less one half of your price", and the British standard is marked with Chinese characters as "Li Si, Meng, Huff, Dumb Man, You, Pu Si". Mr. Yao said that foreigners would definitely not understand it if they read it according to such pronunciation.

  At the beginning of the textbook, there is also a "Instructions for Use": "Chinese characters are read from right to left, and English characters are read from left to right" … … And the author is also at the beginning of the friendship tips learning tips, "only scholars try to figure it out."

  The pronunciation is very strange. The Chinese character should be "Mandarin" in the late Qing Dynasty.

  After seeing the photos of the books, Mr. Peng from the Institute of Ancient Books of Sichuan University said that they should be books in the late Qing Dynasty, but the exact time cannot be judged. Experts from the Western Sichuan Literature Restoration Center also said that according to the photos of the book, it should be inferred from the appearance and content that this book belongs to the Qing Dynasty, but because it has not been exposed to paper and objects, it is still impossible to judge whether this book is a rare book or a later copy. "Many foreign books have been translated in succession during the Qing Dynasty." According to experts, the rare edition was engraved earlier and circulated less. If it is a rare edition, then this book has scientific research value.

  Reading these English short sentences according to the pronunciation marked by these Chinese characters is very strange to read. So, how to read this kind of Chinese phonetic notation?

  Lei Hanqing, a professor at Sichuan University who is proficient in linguistics, believes that this kind of Chinese phonetic notation mainly appears in less formal textbooks, and the teachers will guide the tone, while the Chinese characters in the textbooks are mainly tips for beginners. "The late Qing Dynasty also had its own ‘ Yayan ’ 、‘ Guoyin ’ (equivalent to Mandarin). " Lei Hanqing concluded that, because of the capital of Beijing, the standard dialect at that time should be close to the pronunciation of Beijing dialect, and we can also know from some videos of Puyi’s speech that the pronunciation difference is not too big. In other words, if you travel more than 150 years ago, you can still understand the local people.

  Rise/know/know

  The Qing people called English nonsense.

  Foreigner: Their pronunciation is terrible.

  In fact, the learning method of using Chinese characters as English phonetic notation has existed for a long time in modern times.

  Dr. Sun Guangping, who studies the history of cultural exchanges between China and the West, introduced in an article about the development of English textbooks in the late Qing Dynasty. At that time, English textbooks were divided into three stages. The embryonic stage was mainly from 1807 to 1840. At the trading ports in China, some China people’s own learning textbooks were popular, mainly pidgin English textbooks, to meet the needs of Chinese and foreign trade. These textbooks are all in Chinese for English phonetic notation, which is convenient for China people to learn.

  At the beginning of Sino-British trade, we had to rely on Portuguese who can speak Cantonese or China who can speak Portuguese as an intermediary to communicate. At that time, a booklet called Ghost Story was popular in Guangzhou, in which the pronunciation of "man" was replaced by "man" and today was marked as "land". Samuel Wells Williams, an American missionary, commented on the "poor pronunciation" of English in these pamphlets.

  From 1840 to 1895, English teaching developed. Under the impetus of the Westernization Movement, some western-style schools appeared. In an English textbook written by Americans, phonetic symbols were used to mark the pronunciation of English letters. The third stage was after the failure of the Sino-Japanese War in 1895, when some original English textbooks were introduced.

  It is reported that during the reign of Kangxi, after the signing of the Treaty of Nebuchadnezzar Chu, the Qing Dynasty began to pay attention to talents proficient in Russian and Latin, and during the reign of Yongzheng, the translated language of Hua Yi reappeared in the rivers and lakes. This official dictionary of China’s early modern foreign language translation into Chinese has all foreign language entries in Chinese phonetic notation.

Eat healthily as the Lantern Festival approaches, so you might as well make some "salty dumplings".

  The Lantern Festival is approaching. According to the traditional custom, Yuanxiao not only enjoys lanterns, but also eats glutinous rice balls, which means reunion. Yu Ting, deputy chief physician of the Department of Gastroenterology, Zhongda Hospital affiliated to Southeast University, reminded the public that although glutinous rice balls are delicious, if they are eaten too much at one time, it will easily lead to some diseases, especially for the elderly and children with weak digestive function.

  Yangzi Evening News/Zi Niu News reporter Yang Yan

  Eating 4-8 at a time is enough.

  As the Lantern Festival is approaching, many people have already prepared glutinous rice balls at home, and they can’t finish one meal. They eat breakfast, extra meals and even supper for many days, and they accidentally overdo it. Deputy Chief Physician Yu Ting pointed out that most of the glutinous rice dumplings currently on the market are glutinous rice products, which are difficult to digest, especially for the elderly with weak digestive function. At the same time, most of the dumplings are filled with sesame seeds and bean paste, and some fillings may contain a lot of oil and sugar, which is easy to cause the increase of blood sugar and blood lipid after eating by the elderly, which is not conducive to health.

  Experts remind: You should not eat too much at a time. Eating a small bowl (about 4-8) is enough. For patients with basic gastrointestinal diseases (such as gastroduodenal ulcer, acute and chronic gastrointestinal inflammation, etc.), patients with liver disease and acute and chronic pancreatitis, don’t be greedy, just taste one or two. While eating glutinous rice balls, it is recommended not to eat other foods with high sugar content, especially those with diabetes. In addition, it is necessary to reduce the intake of other staple foods.

  Old people and children should pay attention to chewing slowly.

  Although the dumplings are delicious, for the elderly and children, they must eat slowly, eat slowly, and never swallow. This is because the elderly are older, and their chewing ability and saliva secretion are reduced; However, children’s swallowing function is not so coordinated, cough reflex is weakened, and foreign bodies in the airway are prone to occur, especially glutinous rice soft food like glutinous rice dumplings, which is very dangerous once it is choked into the airway. Experts remind: Tangyuan is soft, so you should eat it slowly to avoid increasing the burden on your stomach and causing discomfort in your stomach. At the same time, it can also avoid burns.

  Tangyuan is rich in sugar and high in calories. Therefore, many people think that eating tangyuan at night is easy to gain weight, and it seems more appropriate to eat it in the morning. Actually, glutinous rice balls are not suitable for breakfast. This is because dumplings are mostly made of glutinous rice, which is not easy to digest. Coupled with the large amount of oil in the dumplings, it adds a burden to the gastrointestinal tract. When people get up early, the gastrointestinal function is the weakest. At this time, eating so many indigestible things at once will definitely make the gastrointestinal tract overwhelmed. It is best to eat glutinous rice balls at noon. At this time, the gastrointestinal function of the human body is the strongest, and there is enough time to digest excessive calories in glutinous rice balls.

  Try salty dumplings for the Lantern Festival.

  In addition, the traditional dumpling stuffing is sweet, and nutrition experts also suggest that it can also be made salty, and the stuffing can be freely matched, such as celery, shrimp, hairy chestnuts, pine nuts and black sesame seeds. The traditional dumpling skin is glutinous rice. Now we might as well make a mash-up of glutinous rice to make a coarse grain skin, such as pumpkin glutinous rice and purple potato glutinous rice. We can also freely add various vegetable juices, such as spinach juice, celery juice juice and carrot juice, to the glutinous rice, which is rich in nutrition and has a special taste. At the same time, you can also work hard in cooking the soup of Yuanxiao. You may wish to make the soup of Yuanxiao into tomato soup and vegetable seedling soup, which is balanced and nutritious and delicious.

Snooker Champions League: Four seats have been won in the quarter-finals and three players from China were eliminated on the same day.

  On the morning of 19th, Beijing time, the 2023 Snooker Champions League (ranking match) ended the competition for the second match day of the second stage. All three China players who played on that day were defeated, and no one advanced to the quarter-finals.

  The ongoing Champions League in Britain is the first ranking match of snooker in the new season. The competition is divided into three stages: in the first stage, 128 players are divided into 32 groups for single round robin, and each group is the first to advance to the top 32; The 32 players in the second stage were divided into 8 groups, and each group advanced to the top 8 first; The eight players in the third stage were divided into two groups, and the top of the group advanced to the final.

  A total of 19 China players appeared in the first stage of this competition (Ding Junhui, the first brother of China billiards, did not sign up for the competition), and 7 of them advanced to the top 32. On the second match day of the second stage, Si Jiahui, Pang Junxu and Liu Hongyu of Group C, who were in the same group, played on the same day, but all ended up in the second stage.

  In Group H, TOP16 (the top 16 in the world) star Milkins is the favourite to be promoted, but in the first two group matches, Sijiahui, who just celebrated his 21st birthday, is evenly matched with Milkins (1 win and 1 draw): in the first game, Sijiahui won the "China Derby" with Pang Junxu by 3:1, and Milkins defeated English player astley by 3:0; The two men drew 2-2 in the second match.

  In the final battle to decide "life and death", as the biggest "dark horse" in this year’s World Snooker Championships, Si Jiahui unexpectedly lost to astley by 1:3. Although Milkins was tied by Pang Junxu in the final battle, he still advanced to the quarter-finals with 1 win and 2 draws and the first place in the group. Si Jiahui finished second in the group by one point, and Pang Junxu finished second in the group with two draws and one loss.

  In Group C, Liu Hongyu, who broke into the top 32 in the first stage, failed to continue his "dark horse" tour. The 19-year-old recruit who participated in the professional competition for the first time ranked second in the group with 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss, and regretted being out. Thailand’s famous Samkham, with 2 wins and 1 draw, advanced to the quarter-finals.

  In the first day of the second stage, TOP16 star MarkBaodao is not old. He swept his opponent 3-0 in Group F and advanced to the top 8. However, in Group E, another TOP16 player, Kelen wilson, unexpectedly "overturned", ranking second in the group with 2 wins and 1 loss. British player Chris Wakelin won the first place in the group with 2 wins and 1 draw, and grabbed another place in the quarter-finals that day.

  So far, in 2023, the snooker Champions League (ranking match) has finished four group matches in the second stage, and correspondingly, four places have been promoted to the top eight.

  On the next match day, China’s Zhou Yuelong and Xiao Guodong, who are in Group A, will both appear. In the second phase of the eight groups, the overall strength of Group A is relatively weak, and Zhou Yuelong and Xiao Guodong’s "double"",is considered to be the most likely to occupy a top eight seats for China legion.

Black and White Snooker: "Aristocratic Movement" under the Shadow of Gambling

At the beginning of 2023, in the joy of the New Year, China snooker suffered a collective "landslide".
China Billiards Association issued a large number of suspension notices in a short time.
On January 3rd, the World Federation of Taiwan announced that China’s players Zhao Xintong and Zhang Jiankang were suspended from participating in the World Snooker Tour because they were suspected of manipulating the results. Subsequently, the China Billiards Association followed suit and suspended Zhao Xintong and Zhang Jiankang from all domestic billiards competitions. In addition, Yan Bingtao, Lu Ning, Li Hsing, Zhao Jianbo, Bai Langning, Chang Bingyu, Liang Wenbo and Chen Zifan who were previously notified, in just one month, 10 China snooker players were banned by the World Federation of Taiwan and the China Billiards Association for allegedly gambling.
Among these 10 players, there are Zhao Xintong, who ranks ninth in the world at present, Yan Bingtao, a teenager born after 00 who is regarded as Ding Junhui’s successor, and Liang Wenbo, the backbone of the field for many years. Although the incident is still under investigation and the final punishment result has not yet been released, this pile of tickets for China players will have an immeasurable impact on the development of snooker in China.
I still remember that 20 years ago, people’s views on billiards were still at the stage of playing with things. In the dimly lit, smoky billiard hall, the "spirit boy" with a small split head, tight pants and pointed shoes was once the main audience of this sport. With the birth of Ding Junhui, billiards has gradually got rid of the label of "low taste" and "unhealthy" in China. In this context, more and more children have embarked on the road of professional snooker.
On the table, the black ball scored the highest among the 21 target balls. In pursuit of victory, the players racked their brains to hit the black ball into the bag. On the table, in the collision from white to black, countless records came into being and countless famous players stood out. However, under the table, the temptation of money makes this gentleman’s sport unable to escape the fate of being manipulated. When the voice of the storm is endless, can snooker, once all the rage, regain its former glory?

The aristocratic movement kidnapped by match-fixing.
Snooker, tennis, golf and bowling are also called the Four big noble Sports. Turning over the history of snooker’s origin and development, the overlapping and intertwined figures of British aristocrats in previous dynasties are vividly on the paper. However, it is such a sport that is famous for its elegance and dignity, but it can never get rid of the shadow of gambling.
Since the establishment of the World Professional Billiards and Snooker Association ("World Taiwan Federation") in 1968, a large number of snooker players have been investigated and even banned for suspected match-fixing. Among them, the most shocking thing is the gambling incident of Scottish "wizard" John Higgins.
In 2010, the British media released a video of Higgins and his agent Patmoni, which showed that Higgins was involved in a shady and dirty deal. Higgins cheekily promised to "naturally lose four games" for about 300,000 pounds in cash.
Immediately after the video exposure, a "great earthquake" was triggered on the platform. However, it is intriguing that after investigation, Higgins was not identified as participating in gambling, and he was finally banned for only six months after escaping heavy punishment.
Data map: Higgins is in the game.
Coincidentally, in 2013, the World Federation of Taiwan announced that the talented player Stephen Li Yin had participated in at least seven match-fixing competitions, and was fined 40,000 pounds and suspended for 12 years. In addition to these two well-known players, Quentin Hahn, Rio Fernandez, Jamie Jones and others all bear gambling stains.
Even Joe Davis, known as the "father of modern snooker", has rumors of his "cooperation" with gaming companies.
Of course, it is now difficult to verify the fraud in the Joe Davis era. But this shows from the side that in the world of snooker, gambling seems to be commonplace.
"Rocket" O ‘Sullivan once said: "There are many people involved in the game of snooker, and Stephen Lee is just one who was unfortunately caught."
Sean Murphy’s social media screenshot.
Sean Murphy, a former world champion, also revealed in an interview a few days ago that one of the reasons for resigning from the board of directors of the World Taiwan Federation many years ago was because he learned too much multimedia and information that the public didn’t know: "I know too much about some players who are under disciplinary investigation. To me, the world is either black or white. But in recent years, the world has become gloomy, and we have changed from an old-fashioned black-and-white worldview to a rather opaque worldview. "
On the one hand, Murphy knows nothing about gambling. He thinks that once a player’s alleged match-fixing behavior is proved, the gambling player should be punished by life ban. On the other hand, Murphy didn’t choose to make the inside story known to the public.

There is no surplus grain in the landlord’s house.
If we must explain the "gambling tradition" in the snooker world, then economic factors are undoubtedly Pandora’s box that has led a large number of players astray.
In the 1990s, snooker also had the glory of "not short of money". However, since the European Union did not allow tobacco companies to sponsor sports events in 2002/2003, snooker began to decline. The most direct performance is money, and the bonus of snooker has not risen with the economic development.
As the most influential and well-known event in snooker, the prize money of the world champion last season was only 500,000 pounds. This is in stark contrast to the millions of bonuses in tennis, golf and other events. If you are a fledgling teenager or a player with a low ranking in the tour, the income from participating in the competition can’t support their daily training and going out to play.
Snooker is not a profession with high return rate, which has become the consensus in the industry. O’ Sullivan once admitted many times that playing snooker doesn’t make money, and he doesn’t want his children to follow in his footsteps: "It’s a waste of life to be trapped indoors and hit the ball with one shot."
When the input is not proportional to the gain, some players go to the abyss of perdition for the benefit.
Data Map: Liang Wenbo is in the 2017 World Snooker Shanghai Masters Competition.
To be or not to be?
As a sport as famous as tennis and golf, snooker, once all the rage, can’t hide its decline under the background that all kinds of events are competing for the world sports world. Barry Hearn, former president of the World Federation of Taiwan, once said: "The market has changed, so has the way of entertainment, but snooker has not changed, and it is still so dignified and decent." The culture represented by snooker is getting farther and farther away from young people.
In order to change the decline, the World Federation of Taiwan has also made various efforts. Such as trying to join the Olympic family and exploring the China market.
In recent years, China snooker stars have appeared frequently, and a large number of snooker events have been held in China. The development of this sport in China has entered a fast lane. However, this time, many China players were caught in the gambling storm, which seems to have doused the "single spark" that can start a prairie fire.
Indulgence requires a fierce medicine doctor. Ferguson, president of the World Federation of Taiwan, said in an interview: "We are not afraid that the number of people banned will have a bad influence on snooker. No matter who he is, as long as he participates in it, we will strictly investigate it to the end, and he will inevitably be punished as he deserves. "
However, suspension is only a means, not an end. In order to save snooker, the World Federation of Taiwan may need to show greater sincerity, such as improving the ranking mechanism and trying to improve the treatment of players. In the face of the pressure of life, it is difficult to persist only by loving. Only by letting athletes see a brighter future can we retain people who really love snooker.

Both the China diving team and the China Flower Tour team are playing with full strength, hoping to find the shortcomings in training and improve before the Olympic Games, while China,In order not to disrupt the pace of Olympic preparations, the swimming team sent more young players toTraining and accumulating experience are the main purposes.

The diving team went all out.

The diving event of the World Championships in Doha is the last stop to determine the seats for the Paris Olympic Games. For many foreign athletes, this is their last chance to get tickets for the Olympic Games. Therefore, a record-breaking 306 athletes from 55 countries and regions participated in the competition.

Of course, for the China diving team, which won the full Olympic seats at the Fukuoka World Championships last year, there was no pressure in this competition. But even so, they sent a luxurious lineup to play.

This time, the diving dream team sent 13 players, including 8 male players and 5 female players, among whom 12 were world champions and 6 had won Olympic champions. Huang Jianjie, who is under 14 years old, is the only non-world champion and the youngest player.

Judging from the specific events, it is rare for China to give up three non-Olympic events this time, namely, the women’s 1m springboard, the mixed 3m springboard and the mixed team competition. However, in order to increase the competition experience of young athletes, Zheng Jiuyuan and Zhang Jiaqi/Huang Jianjie will participate in two other non-Olympic events-the men’s 1m springboard and the mixed doubles 10m platform.

As for the focus of the team, it is the "Gemini" Chen Yuxi and Quan Hongchan, who will conquer the world again with the "splash disappearance"; In addition, Cao Yuan, a three-dynasty Olympic champion who returned from injury, and Xie Sichou, a men’s 3m springboard champion who returned from Tokyo last year, attracted special attention.

The flower tour team participated in the whole project for the first time.

In this Doha Swimming World Championships, Huayou competed in 11 events, and China will participate in all events for the first time. Among them, Yang Shuncheng, a teenager from Beijing Flower Tour Team, will make his debut in the men’s singles competition for the first time.

The 17-year-old Yang Shuncheng took part in the national team training at the beginning of last year, and then won two gold medals in the men’s single technical optional and free optional at the synchronized swimming World Cup in Egypt in May, which was his first time to compete abroad. This time, he will attack his first gold medal in the World Championships.

In December 2022, FINA officially announced that male synchronized swimmers were allowed to participate in the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. Subsequently, the World Swimming Federation introduced new rules for synchronized swimming, which brought about earth-shaking changes: team events allowed up to two male players to play; Add collective skills to select projects; The difficulty of the movements during the competition will be deducted as "fierce". Once the technical referee determines that the athletes have not completed the declared difficulty score, no matter how perfect the other movements are, the whole series of movements will fall to a benchmark score of only 0.5 …

In this case, the China Flower Tour Team has been trying to adapt to the new rules, and won 3 gold medals, 1 silver and 1 bronze at the Fukuoka Swimming World Championships in 2023, successfully achieving the breakthrough of "zero" in the Olympic gold medal at the Paris Cycle World Championships. Since then, they have successfully locked seats in the Paris Olympic Games by virtue of the doubles and team events champions of the Hangzhou Asian Games.

Swimming team training is the main task.

In order to make up for the lack of world competitions during the epidemic, FINA adjusted the World Championships to one year. This World Championships is not only the first Long Pool World Championships held in the Olympic year, but also held in winter for the first time, which has disrupted the pace of Olympic preparations for athletes from all over the world to some extent.

Under the comprehensive consideration, the China Swimming Team chose the strategy of preserving its strength and letting the youngsters train, but these youngsters should not be underestimated.

Li Bingjie is the only Olympic champion of the China Swimming Team in the World Championships in Doha, and is expected to hit a single gold medal in the women’s 1500m freestyle in the World Championships. Earlier, she said in an interview, "There are many strong opponents in this World Championships, but I will try my best to fight and seize the opportunity."

In addition to Li Bingjie, many young swimmers from the China Swimming Team will appear in Doha. Yu Yiting, the third runner-up of women’s 200m individual medley in Fukuoka World Championships, expects to make another breakthrough in performance. Last year, she set a new Asian Games record in Hangzhou in 2 minutes 07.75 seconds. Dong Zhihao and Qin Haiyang boarded the podium of the World Cup sub-races several times last year, which is a potential new star of China men’s breaststroke; Pan Zhanle’s 100-meter freestyle has the strength to "arm-wrestle" with world-class athletes.

It is worth mentioning that Zhang Zhanshuo, a 16-year-old Shandong teenager, will also welcome his first adult international competition. At the World Youth Championship last September, he won the runner-up in the 400-meter medley in 4 minutes, 12.44 seconds, making him the fastest athlete aged 16 and under in this event. And he is also the athlete with the most items reported by the China team in this World Championships, and will participate in five individual competitions.

Continue to work hard for Olympic qualification

In addition to the above three projects, ChinaathleteThis time, we will continue to work hard for the Olympic qualification in the two major events of water polo and open water.

At least four men’s teams and two women’s teams will directly enter the Paris Olympic Games in the World Water Polo Championships in Doha. With the gold medal at the Hangzhou Asian Games last year, China Women’s Water has qualified for the Paris Olympic Games. In the division of men’s water polo competition, China is in Group B with the world runner-up Greek team, the host of the Paris Olympic Games, France and Brazil, so it is more difficult to attack the seats of the Lebanon Olympic Games.

In open water swimming, 10 km for men and women is an Olympic event, and the top three in Fukuoka World Championships and the top 13 in Doha World Championships will be qualified for the Paris Olympic Games. Xin Xin, the champion of Gwangju World Championships in 2019, has experienced ups and downs in injury and illness in the past two years. This time, she will make a final effort to qualify for the Paris Olympic Games. Mao Yihan, a teenager from Zhejiang, won the World Championships in open water and swimming through the national trials, and she will also strive to win in the double-track competition.
