BEIJING, March 12 (Xinhua) -- The Chinese team won two medals at the 2017 World Short Track Speed Skating Championships in the Dutch city of Rotterdam on Sunday.
Fan, 24, won the women's 500-meter race in 43.605 seconds, beating Canada's Marianne St-Gelais to second place with 43.630. It's Fan's fifth world championship gold medal over the distance. Kim Ji Yoo of South Korea finished third in 43.744.
Fan's form had been in doubt before the worlds, as she failed to win a 500m medal at the Asian Winter Games last month.
"China No.1!" exclaimed Fan, who swept 500m in three straight world championships from 2015 to 2017.
"I should say thank you to all the bad results in the past year, which made me relaxed at the last competition of this season," she said.
China also took a silver through two-time men's 500m world champion Wu Dajing, who lost to Dutch skater Sjinkie Knegt this time. Knegt won the race in 41.832, while Wu finished a close second in 41.891. Seo Yi Ra of South Korea ranked third in 42.036.
Defending world champion Han Tianyu was shut out of the semifinals.
Also on Sunday, Britain's Elise Christie won the women's 1,500m in 2:54.369, 0.12 seconds ahead of Canada's Marianne St-Gelais. South Korean star Shim Suk Hee ranked third in 2:54.817 with her compatriot and defending champion Choi Min-jeong a distant fifth.
South Korea's Sin Da Woon led the men's 1,500m in 2:16.919, while Canada's Samuel Girard trailed in 2:16.982. Another South Korean Seo Yi Ra came third in 2:17.051. Russia's Victor An, a six-time world champion, finished fourth ahead of Sjinkie Knegt.
KIEV http://www.superstarshoesuk.com/adidas-superstar-slip-on-slip-on-adidas-white.html , Jan. 31 (Xinhua) -- The first cargo train freight connecting Ukraine and China has recently completed its journey, after passing through three other countries along the Silk Road in a test run of a planned regular service.
Although much work is yet to be done to establish a fixed railway route, the new train service is seen here as a promising instrument to boost inter-connectivity and trade between Ukraine and China and in particular between European and Asian markets in general.
HISTORIC EVENT
On Jan. 15, Ukraine launched a cargo train from its south-western port of Illichivsk to China via the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route, traversing Georgia http://www.superstarshoesuk.com/discount-adidas-superstar-white-black.html , Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan, thus joining the famed Silk Road initiative.
The launch of the train was highly welcomed by officials and experts in Ukraine, with Infrastructure Minister Andrii Pyvovarskyi describing it as a "historical event" for the country, which will pave the way for boosting Ukraine's foreign trade.
"We are opening a new way from Europe to China, a new way for Ukrainian goods to reach those markets where we have always been very strong -- Kazakhstan http://www.superstarshoesuk.com/adidas-superstar-ii-uk-white-superstar-2-0.html , Georgia and Azerbaijan, and a new way to those markets access to which is now limited," Pyvovarskyi said.
As one of the main advantages of the route, Kiev has laid out its speediness which covers the full distance of 5,471 km from Ukraine to China in 9 to 14 days http://www.superstarshoesuk.com/adidas-yeezy-boost-350-v2-cream-white-uk.html , while the average maritime trip takes about 40 days.
This opens new prospects for transporting food products with limited shelf-lives as well as high-value cargo and freight which need express delivery to customers.
According to the Infrastructure Ministry of Ukraine, the new train service has already attracted the interest of Ukrainian exporters of food, agriculture products, stone, ceramic tile Adidas Superstar Flower Lotus Print UK , metal and furniture.
In turn, the East European country, by establishing the new route, gains an option to boost its imports of electronics, clothing Women's Adidas Superstar Supercolor Pharrell Pink , automotive products, minerals, household appliances, light oil and liquefied gas from Asian markets.
With an estimated capacity to transit from 1 million tons to 3.5 million tons of goods per year, the train service would boost bilateral trade between Ukraine and China by increasing the cargo turnover Discount Adidas Superstar 2 Bling White Gold , which stood at 25.5 million tons last year.
Analysts also suggest that the new train service could boost investment in Ukraine.
"We need to prove the attractiveness of the proposed route to draw interest from the Chinese companies, which could invest in road and port infrastructure to develop our region," said Olexandr Borovyk, Ukrainian former Deputy Economy Minister.
BRIDGE BETWEEN EUROPE AND ASIA
Kiev's interest in joining the famed Silk Road initiatives is not limited only to boosting the trade turnover. It also stems from Ukraine's long-term aspiration to become a transit country, linking Europe and Asia.
This is vividly illustrated by the fact that only a week after launching a train to China Adidas Superstar East River White Blue Sale , Kiev announced plans to expand the Silk Road channel via Ukraine into the European Union (EU) by building a new railway tunnel in the Carpathian Mountains.
The Beskyd tunnel, which establishes a transport corridor between Ukraine's western city of Lviv and the Hungary-Slovakia borders, indeed has a prospect to play a key role in making Ukraine a new transit bridge between Europe and Asia, given its logistic importance.
"The Beskyd tunnel is a strategic infrastructure facility because it is the section of the fifth Pan-European transport corridor, which passes through the territory of Italy Adidas Superstar East River UK Black White , Slovenia, Hungary, Slovakia and Ukraine," said Nikolai Ostashuk, an associate professor at the Institute of Mechanical Engineering and Transport.
While the tunnel is seen as a major link to connect Asian countries with Western Europe Adidas Superstar 2 Black White Women's Shoes , there is also a huge untapped potential for expanding the Silk Road northwards.
The port of Illichivsk, which serves the train running between Ukraine and China, also has direct cargo train links with countries in Northern Europe.
The idea to combine these routes indeed has bright prospects given the huge amount of cargo carried by trains to the EU -- the Zubr train from Illichivsk to Estonia via Latvia .
