China shines at women's softball Asia Cup 2025
XI'AN, July 14 (Xinhua) -- Host China notched a pair of 15-0 wins against India and Hong Kong, China at the ongoing women's softball Asia Cup 2025 here on Monday. Runner-up in the tournament's previous edition, China took an early lead against India in the first inning, with Xie Yue contributing a base hit that allowed Yan Siyu to score. The host continued to increase its advantage, scoring 10 runs in the second inning to eliminate any suspense. In the third inning, Xie Jiaxin hit a home run, and Li Jiaqi sealed the victory with an outstanding base hit. "I am very happy with the result, and I'd like to thank my coach for giving me the opportunity to play," Li Xintian of Xi'an Physical Education University told Xinhua after her China debut. "After the first inning, the coach asked us to be patient. His suggestion made our performance become better and better." Li Xintian added. In the later game, China hit two home runs in the second inning against Hong Kong, building a 13-0 lead before the third inning. The team added two more points, earning their second consecutive win. "We still have something to improve although we had two wins. For example, we may do better in defense and running," said China's Ren Min. The Asia Cup also serves as the qualifier for the 2026 Women's Softball World Cup and the 2026 Asian Games. The top three teams will qualify for the World Cup, while the top eight will secure spots at the Asian Games. The 10 teams will compete in a round-robin format over the first six days of the seven-day event. The top two teams will face off in the gold medal game on Sunday, while the third and fourth-place teams will compete for the bronze medal. "Since May 18, our team has been training together. Our players executed our tactics well, and their performance looks promising," said China's team manager Yang Liu. In other matches on the opening day, Chinese Taipei defeated Hong Kong 10-0, and overwhelmed Thailand 19-0.

Chinese swimmers dope-tested the most ahead of World Aquatics Championships
HONG KONG: Chinese swimmers took more anti-doping tests this year than swimmers from any other country ahead of the World Aquatics Championships in Singapore this month, the Aquatics Integrity Unit said in a report. From January 1, Chinese swimmers had an average of 8.8 anti-doping tests versus those from the U.S. who were tested 4.1 times and those from Britain who were tested 2.2 times, the report showed. Swimmers competing as neutrals - mainly those with Russian nationality - were tested 8.2 times on average. In total the Aquatics Integrity Unit conducted 4,018 anti-doping tests on athletes participating in the Singapore event scheduled for July 11-22. "The report underscores World Aquatics unwavering commitment to fair competition and the highest standards of integrity in aquatic sport," it said. The China Swimming Association did not immediately respond to a request for comment. China's swimming team has faced heightened scrutiny since revelations in April that 23 swimmers had tested positive for a banned heart medication in 2021 but were permitted to compete in the Tokyo Olympics that year. The World Anti-Doping Agency accepted the findings of a Chinese investigation that the results were due to contamination from a hotel kitchen. An independent review backed WADA's handling of the case. Testing will remain in force until the end of the event, with 830 samples to be collected during 24 days of competition, the Aquatics Integrity Unit said. China's male freestyle sprinter Wang Haoyu was tested 13 times, while 200 metre breaststroke world record holder Qin Haiyang was tested 12 times, the report showed.
