(From L to R) Han Mingze, Luo Honghao and Lin Hanfei of inline hockey squad of Guangzhou Pui Ching primary school attend a training session in the ice rink
in Guangzhou, capital of south China's Guangdong province, March 12, 2017. When
bidding for the 2022 Winter Olympic Games, China aimed to encourage 300 million
people in the country to participate in winter sports, including those living in
south and west China. In Guangdong, about 400,000 person-times participate in
winter sports yearly. Now there are two indoor ice rinks in Guangzhou and 14 in
the whole Guangdong province. Eight clubs here teach ice hockey, figure skating
and skiing, which have about 60 professional coaches and near 100 part-time
coaches. As a province cultivating a lot of superb roller skaters, Guangdong
exploits a way to turn these roller skaters become ice skaters. At present,
there are about 10 million teenagers under 15 years old in Guangdong, half of
whom participate in roller skating. Over 200 primary and middle schools open
classes on roller skating. Some of schools are featured in inline hockey squads.
Guangzhou's Rollerfun Sports Goods Co., Ltd, the biggest roller skating club and
the supplier of skating coaches in Guangdong, cooperate with these schools'
inline hockey squads and ice hockey squads by providing coaches and rinks for
them. Guangdong also plays a big role in manufacturing the gears of winter
sports. For example, China provides 85 percent of the annual production of ice
skates in the world and over 80 percent of them come from Guangdong. (XinhuaLiu

NAIROBI, Dec. 21 (Xinhua) -- Kenya's David Rudisha believes he has nothing more to prove ahead of the 2017 season where he targets to run closer to his
personal best time.
Rudisha, 28, wants to focus his energy on retaining his 800m title and will pitch camp in Pretoria to work out on his fitness after taking off two months
rest.
"I must say running a world record is not something I am looking forward to now. This is because I have a long way to go to regain my fitness after the
holiday and am running behind schedule.
"So I will set a mark of what I can do and running fast time is one of them but retaining my title in London 2017 is my major motivation," he said.
The World and Olympic 800m champion will not make his annual trip to Australia early next year for his start to the season. Instead, Rudisha, who is
also the world 800m record holder, has opted to train in South Africa at the end
of January as part of his preparations for his world title defence.
Rudisha, who won Middle Distance Athlete of the Year Award during Athletics Kenya Gala, said he will compete in several Athletics Kenya Track and Field
meetings and Diamond League events ahead of the World Championships trials.
Over the years, Rudisha has always opted to race at the IAAF Melbourne World Challenge and the Perth Track Classic ahead of his competitive season.
"I won't be going to Australia this time around since I started my preparations late," said Rudisha, who retained his Olympic title in August,
having won it for the first time at the 2012 London in a world record of 1
minute and 40.91 seconds. He won in Rio with the world leading time of 1:42.15.
"I just want to move my training camp to South Africa late January to February. I have always started my preparations early over the years but I have
been late this time," Rudisha said. "I want to see how it goes this time."
Rudisha said his desire is to be in the best form during the World Championships set for August 4-13 in London.
