Editor's note: The Hangzhou Asian Games opened on September 23rd and will close on October 8th. The Chinese sports delegation recently announced its overall goal for participating in the Hangzhou Asian Games - to achieve both sports results and spiritual civilization.

The confrontation between pitchers and batters is one of the most entertaining moments in softball games. The pitcher's high ball speed is a standard feature, and the Chinese softball team's "ace pitcher" Wang Lan's ball speed is consistently above 110 kilometers per hour. In order to alleviate the defensive pressure on teammates, strikeouts are the ultimate goal of pitchers. The batter needs to hit the ball at an angle and distance, creating opportunities for himself and his teammates to step on the base. The former is the main force of defense, while the latter is the vanguard of forward charge.

The Olympic journey of softball is not always smooth sailing. In the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, softball became an official sport. This year, China's women's softball team won a silver medal, just like women's football, adding glory and color to China's collective sports.

After the 2008 Beijing Olympics, softball temporarily left the Olympic arena. During more than a decade away from the Olympics, Chinese softball has experienced a low tide of team decline and talent loss, but softball has always been a national sports event. Baseball will return to the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, then withdraw from the 2024 Paris Olympics, and is highly likely to enter the Olympics again in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.

Looking ahead to the Asian Games: favorable location and harmonious people, facing strong opponents

Since the 1990 Beijing Asian Games, softball has been an official event of the Asian Games. The development of Chinese women's softball cannot be separated from the trials and tribulations of the Asian Games stage. The Chinese women's softball team has won three championships, two runner ups, and three bronze medals at the Asian Games.

Softball - Women's Finals: China lost to Taipei, China

The biggest competitors of the Chinese softball team in the history of the Asian Games are the Japanese team and the Chinese Taipei team. At present, the Japanese women's softball team ranks first in the world, the Chinese Taipei team ranks fifth, and the Chinese women's softball team ranks 11th. Of course, there is also a reason why the Chinese team participates less. At the 2010 Guangzhou Asian Games, the Chinese team met the Japanese team in the final and lost 0-2, finishing as the runner up.

The 10 teams participating in the Hangzhou Asian Games will be divided into 2 groups, with 5 teams in each group competing in a single round robin group stage. The top 3 teams in each group will advance to the Super Round, with a total of 6 teams in the Super Round. The performance of teams in the same group in the group stage will be directly transferred to the Super Round stage. The teams ranked in the top two are qualified to advance to the finals. This competition system maximizes fairness and requires participating teams to compete in every match. If the results are the same, the ranking judgment depends on the winning or losing relationship between both sides.

The long queue outside the official licensed retail stores has become a special scenic spot in this year's Universiade.

The once popular "Bing Dwen Dwen" gave way to "Rongbao" and became the new top stream! The prototype of "Rongbao" is a giant panda named "Sesame" at the Chengdu Panda Breeding Research Base. Previously, among netizens, "Sesame" was selected as the prototype mascot for this year's Universiade with the highest number of votes. It is understood that the name Sesame comes from two reasons: firstly, its mother's name is Zhizhi, and secondly, it was born with a small black dot on its mouth, resembling sesame seeds hanging on its mouth after eating, hence the name Sesame. Sesame, who has just turned 6 years old this year, is very lively and active, and is a "sports enthusiast"

Editor's note: On July 20th, 2023, the FIFA Women's World Cup will be held in Australia and New Zealand.

In addition, overseas Chinese players Yang Lina and Shen Mengyu are also trained by Shanghai.

The finals will be held in Arlington, USA from July 13th to 17th. Except for the host United States team, the other seven teams that have the best points in the pit stops will qualify for the finals. The Chinese women's volleyball team has achieved 6 wins and 2 losses with a total of 18 points, currently ranking 4th on the points table. In theory, the Chinese women's volleyball team can advance to the finals by winning two more games. It is difficult to fully grasp the Chinese women's volleyball match against Serbia and the United States, so it is necessary to ensure victory over the Dominican and South Korean women's volleyball teams.
