Feb.26 – A cargo ship was stranded at noon on Sunday in the Chongqing
section of the Yangtze River, interrupting transport on the water route.
The ship “Shunfeng No.3,” carrying logs aboard, ran aground in the
Zhuerqi area as it cruised upstream, being trapped at a riffle by
numerous cobblestones, CRI reported quoting Chongqing Evening News.
The local waterway administration sent a rescue boat to the site soon
after the accident, planning to move the ship back to deep water. But the
effort failed due to the weight of the shipload.
A worker with the administration imputed the accident to a ship sinking
last November. He said the wreck led to a change in the river’s current
and stone deposits.
A boat has been dispatched to dredge up the waterway around the sinking
spot, the worker said. But it will have a hard time since it is now the
low water season.

Star lifter Zhang puts Beijing Olympics above all else

Zhang Guozheng is looking enviously at a coach playing with his toddler
son, but when asked why he doesn’t father a child, the 32-year-old
Olympic weightlifting champion says it’s not the time.

“I love children and I dream to be a father,” said Zhang. “But I have to
delay the baby plan because I am busy preparing for the Beijing Olympics.
“To tell you the truth, I never stop dreaming to have my own child.”

The handsome lifter married a police officer in 2001 and they had planned
to have a baby after he won the gold medal in the Athens Olympics in 2004.

“I had promised my wife to have a normal life like many others’, to have
a kid, to have barbecue with the family on weekends. But when I decided
to compete in the Beijing Olympics, which is so alluring to Chinese
athletes, I have to put off family life again, ” said Zhang.

“I would like to have a good, long rest after the Beijing Olympics. I
think I will be a father at 36 or 37.”

Veteran Zhang showed his young teammates there was fire burning in the
old lifter as he overcame another Olympic champion Shi Zhiyong with a
total of 336kg to take the 69kg division gold medal last year’s Asian
Games in Doha, Qatar.

As the oldest in the Chinese weightlifting team, Zhang is still tipped as
the Olympic gold hopeful.

Zhang’s teammate Shi, who was upgraded from 62kg to 69kg class, is seen
as one of Zhang’s closest rivals in the Beijing Games.

“Shi is a friend. I won’t have a grudge if he wins in Beijing, as long as
this gold medal belongs to our team and our country,” Zhang said.

Zhang has been absent from the annual world weightlifting championships
since 2004, but he announces he will come back to this year’s competition
in Thailand.

“Yes, I will definitely go to the world championships and win the gold
medal there,” he said.

“All best lifters will go to the last world championships before the
Beijing Olympics. It’s the time to show my dominance in the men’s 69kg
class.”

Except weightlifting, Zhang spends a lot of time on writing his Web
journal, which has received millions of visits since he started blogging
in January.

“Writing is one of my hobbies and also a way to express my feelings. It
is a wonderful channel to communicate with my supporters,” he said.

Brazilian women’s handball team qualified for the 2008 Beijing Olympic
Games after winning the gold medal at the 15th Pan American Games on
Saturday.

The host team scored an easy victory of 30-17 over Cuba to win their
third Pan Am Games women’s handball title.

Encouraged by a full-capacity of fans, the Brazilians dominated the match
against Cuba, one of their two major rivals in the Americas. The other is
Argentina.

The Cubans started the match strongly by leading 2-0. But soon after the
Brazilian team reacted and got to the end of the first half leading 15-8.
Brazilian major scorers were Fabiana Diniz and Fabiana Gripa, scoring 5
goals each. But the game’s highest scorer was Suleiky Gomez Hernandez of
Cuba, who scored 6 goals.

Early on, in an exciting game, Argentina got the bronze by beating the
Dominican Republic 23-22.

The match was only decided in the final moments. After a quite even first
half, finishing 11-11, the Argentines pulled away to 21-17 midway in the
second half. But the Dominicans didn’t give in and managed to come to
level the score at 22-22. At the last minute, Silvana Totolo scored the
winner to give Argentina the bronze medal.

Cuba proved itself the best baseball team in the world, beating the
United States 3-1 for its 10th consecutive and 12th overall title at the
Pan American Games here on Friday.

Thanks to the great performance of the pitcher Adiel Palma, the Cuban
team kept their comfortable supremacy in the sport at Pan American Games.

Palma left the game during the eight inning and allowed just one run,
four hits and disqualified nine opponent batters. The runs for the
victory were pushed by Alexander Mayeta and Eduardo Paret.

The only run of the United States in the match was pushed by the first
base Justin Smoak. The American team had to settle for its 9th silver
medal.

“I take a lot of pride in this medal, personally, and the Cuban people do
it as well,” said Eduardo Paret, “particularly taking into account that
this is our tenth consecutive title against an excellent team.”

“It was a very tense game, very well played. Despite being young, the
American players are very talented and it was not easy to defeat them,”
said Cuban coach Rey Vicente Anglada, “Baseball is to Cuba what football
is in Brazil, the nation’s favorite sport. You see children playing it
everywhere. I believe Cuba’s baseball future is bright for many years to
come.” Anglada said.

U.S. coach Mike Weathers said his team lost the match due to lack of
experiences: “Only two players had international experiences. This, of
course, influenced on the results. But I believe the event was a great
way to learn. Since our team is composed by university students, it is
always changing. I’m proud of my team.”

“It was a very well played game. The Cuban pitcher Adiel Palma had a
great performance and out batters just couldn’t bear with him. He pitched
in variated speeds, making the game harder to us.” Weathers said.

The bronze medal match scheduled for Thursday had been cancelled by the
organizers due to Rio’s rain. Both Nicaragua and Mexico had been awarded
a bronze medal for the event.
