SOCHI nike air max 2018 elite uomo scontate , Feb. 10 (Xinhua) -- China claimed its first medal at the Sochi Olympics on Monday thanks to heroic performance by a teenage duo in the men's 1,500m short track speed skating, which was won by Canada's Charles Hamelin.


Han Tianyu clocked two minutes and 15.055 seconds to finish second in Final A, trailing eventual champion and world No. 1 Hamelin by 0.70 seconds.


"Since it's my first Olympic Winter Games, I'm a little bit nervous and didn't think very much," said Han. "I had never thought I could make it to the finals, let alone stand on the podium. I took every round as my final nike air max 2018 elite scontate , and tried my best to compete."


The 17-year-old, ranked 11th after the 2013-2014 season, equaled the best ever result by a Chinese men's short tracker at the Olympics. His teammate Chen Dequan, 18, finished fifth in 2:15.626.


Victor An, who collected the men's 1,000m www.airmax2018scontate.it , 1,500m and 5,000 relay titles for South Korea at the Turin Winter Games in 2006 and now represents Russia in Sochi, had to settle for a bronze in 2:15.062. Due to an injury that nearly ended his career, An, now 28 years old, had skipped the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver.


An scarpe nike air max scontate , going by the name Ahn Hyun-Soo when he represented South Korea, is the second winter Olympian to win medals for two different NOCs that are not politically or constitutionally linked. Speed skater Bart Veldkamp won medals for the Netherlands and Belgium.


Hamelin, 29, won his third career Olympic title in short track and equaled Marc Gagnon's Canadian record of three golds in this sport. Hamelin's other titles were from the men's 500m and 5,000m relay at the 2010 Vancouver Games.


His younger brother Francois Hamelin, a men's 500m silver medalist and member of the title-winning Canadian relay team in last Games, qualified for Final B and finished second in that category in 2:21.592.


Han and Chen nike air max 2018 scontate , both from northeast China's Liaoning province, surprisingly reached the final, with Han beating An by 0.142 seconds in the semis.




GENEVA， Aug. 9 (Xinhua) -- The UN Children's Fund (UNICEF) warned Tuesday that two million people living in Syria's Aleppo city have been cut off from water supplies following attacks on the electricity transmission station that pumped water to the eastern and western parts of the war-torn city.


"Children and families in Aleppo are facing a catastrophic situation. These cuts are coming amid a heat wave， putting children at a grave risk of waterborne diseases，" said UNICEF's representative in Syria， Hanaa Singer， in a statement.


"Getting clean water running again cannot wait for the fighting to stop. Children's lives are in serious danger，" she added.


Though authorities managed to put in place a power line on Aug.4， the alternative network was damaged by fighting less than a day after water supplies were restored， UNICEF explained.


UNICEF stressed that urgent repairs to water-pumping facilities are needed since this is the only way to restore critical supplies to the two million people living in the city.


If this is not done， residents will have no choice but to resort to risky practises， such as drinking water from wells which may be contaminated by faecal matter rendering it unsafe to drink， UNICEF reported.


"We urge parties to the conflict to immediately allow safe access for technicians to conduct critical repairs to the electricity and water systems，" said Singer.


"Civilian infrastructure like electricity and water pumping stations must never be attacked，" she reminded.


TOKYO, Sept. 8 (Xinhua) -- Japan's economy grew an annualized 2.5 percent in the April-June period with the figure being downwardly revised from a preliminary estimate of 4.0 percent growth, owing to a weaker-than-expected rise in capital spending, data from the Cabinet Office showed on Friday.


The revised GDP figure also missed median market expectations for 2.8 percent growth, with growth in private consumption nike air max scontate , a vital driver in the world's third-largest economy, revised down from an initial 0.9 percent to 0.8 percent.


The expansion in real gross domestic product adjusted for inflation on a quarter-on-quarter bases was also lower than the preliminary figure after being revised to a 0.6 percent increase, down from a preliminary 1 percent increase.


The government initially said in a preliminary report released on Aug. 14 that the economy here grew an annualized 4.0 percent in real terms, or 1.0 percent from the previous quarter in real terms.


While government officials said the revised data shows that the economy has expanded for a sixth straight quarter, the worse-than-expected figures for corporate capital spending indicates a degree of resistance in companies investing in the short-to-mid-term future, analysts here remarked Friday.


Corporate capital spending rising just 0.5 percent in the April-June period, down from 2.4 percent in the preliminary data Uomo Nike Air Vapormax 2.0 Flyknit Scarpe Dark Grigie Scontate , is a testament to this, analysts said.


"Many companies want to invest, but they realize that the potential growth rate is very low, so they don't want to invest excessively," Hiroaki Muto, economist at Tokai Tokyo Research Center Co. said previously.


This has had a knock-on effect to wages and the tightening thereof, and household spending Nike Air Max Plus TN Ultra Scarpe Nere Scontate , both mainstays of the economy, with the figures running somewhat contrary to the government's notion of a "domestic-led recovery."


"It's difficult to see Japan switching toward domestic-led economic growth from here, but unless external demand suffers any major declines, a moderate rate of expansion should continue," said Atsushi Takeda, an economist at Itochu Corp.


"In terms of external demand, strength in the yen is a key risk factor Uomo Nike Air Vapormax 95 Undefeated Scarpe Nere Bianche Scontate ," Takeda added.


Exports, to this point, dropped 0.5 percent, unchanged from the preliminary data, while public investment increased 6.0 percent, upgraded from a 5..
