「2016尼康香港青少年公開賽」今日（19日）假伊利沙伯體育館煞科，由港青小花蘇慧音對中國球手錢天一的女單決賽成為全晚焦點，最終蘇慧音在力戰下以0：4惜負對手，奪得銀牌；至於少年組方面，李嘉宜與黃芊柔則在女雙決賽力壓台北組合封后。總結整個賽事，港隊以2金1銀7銅的佳績完成掃牌之旅。 蘇慧音乘著昨日勇挫穆靜毓的強勢，今午她於女單四強以4：1輕取日本削球手竹內嘉菜，殺入晚上進行的決賽。決賽再面對中國新星錢天一，蘇慧音未有受分組賽的敗仗影響，甫開賽已與對手鬥得勢均力敵，幾下快攻及殺球更令現場觀眾拍手歡呼。雖然分數一直緊咬，可惜每當關鍵時刻，蘇慧音都未能把握機會，相反對手錢天一表現較為穩定下，最終以直落局數4：0（11-9、11-8、11-8、11-9）勝出。 以一面銀牌完結8年青少年公開賽生涯，蘇慧音坦言自己已盡了力：「今仗我做足準備提防她（錢天一），盡量以打快攻為主，雖然在關鍵時刻始終不及她，但我覺得今仗已進步了很多，所以已無遺憾了。」談到未來目標，蘇慧音表示自己的技術還有進步空間，期望在9月的亞洲青少年錦標賽打入前四。 少年組方面，香港女雙組合李嘉宜與黃芊柔發揮出色，在決賽一度落後下，以3：2（8-11、11-1、6-11、11-8、11-7）反勝台北的張如嘉/黃愉倢，繼團體賽後再度封后。其中，李嘉宜更於女單添下銅牌，以2金1銅的佳績完成今屆賽事。雖然未能完成三金目標，但嘉宜表示對結果已非常滿意，現時就讀中二的她更希望往後可像「師姐」蘇慧音一樣，成為全職乒乓球運動員。 總結今屆賽事，港隊共奪得2金1銀7銅的佳績，香港乒乓總會主席余國樑表示十分滿意一眾港將的表現：「我們舉辦此比賽目的是希望予香港球員更多實戰機會，看看其他國家球手的水平，而今屆很值得高興，因為我們的小將都進步很很多，特別是蘇慧音與李嘉宜，她們的技術又再提升了。」 「2016尼康香港青少年公開賽」由7月15日至19日舉行，一連5天的賽事已於今天結束。 More photos at our facebook page...

The 20-year-old Chinese golfer will represent China at Rio 2016, another career milestone to add to the 2014 PGA Tour China Order of Merit title, China’s best result in a PGA Tour event and a first European Tour victory July 12, 2016: Li Haotong described his Olympic qualification as a “dream come true” after the 20-year-old Chinese star secured his place at the Rio 2016 men’s golf competition. Li has competed in Web.com Tour events in Brazil for the past two years and will represent China in Rio de Janeiro with 31-year-old Wu Ashun, who won his second European Tour title last month. Wu and Li, the top two ranked Chinese golfers, finished 37th and 39th respectively in the Olympic rankings as of the July 11 cut-off. Li, who is managed by i3 Sports, has made no secret of his ambition to represent China as golf returns to the Olympics for the first time since 1904 and was delighted to confirm his spot in the 60-man field. “Qualifying for the Olympics is a dream come true. The Olympics is very special to people from China. Ever since I knew I had a chance, I have been thinking about it,” said Li, who is also a full European Tour member after winning the US$3 million Volvo China Open in May. “I’m really proud that me and Ashun will represent China. We know each other well and both won on The European Tour this year. I have already been to Brazil twice, so I look forward to going back there for the Olympics.” Li has played in Brazil for the past two years on the Web.com Tour, the US-based circuit that has also taken him to Colombia, Chile, Panama, Puerto Rico and Dominican Republic since 2015. This year, Li has also competed in PGA Tour events in Hawaii and Puerto Rico on invitations and is currently ranked World No. 141. Li earned a full card on the Web.com Tour by topping the inaugural PGA Tour China Order of Merit in 2014. Last year, he finished runner-up at the Shenzhen International and sixth in the Volvo China Open in Shanghai, and this May won the latter event following its move to Topwin Golf and Country Club in Beijing. Last November, Li made global headlines when he tied for seventh at the US$8.5 million WGC-HSBC Champions, the best-ever result by a Chinese player in a PGA Tour event. “It has been an exciting couple of seasons, but I am always working hard to get better and improve my consistency. One of the main challenges is playing in so many different countries and different courses, but I love it,” said Li, whose sponsors include Nike and Mercedes-Benz. “I am confident that playing in the Olympics will be one of the highlights of my career and of course I want to do well there. When I play my best, I feel I can do well even against the world’s top players, so I’m really looking forward to Rio.” Raymond Roessel, founder and Managing Director of i3 Sports, said: “Qualifying for the Olympics is another major milestone for Haotong. He’s a driven, disciplined young athlete who has shown that he’s willing to compete on Tours across the world to develop his game and playing at Rio 2016 is a huge reward for his efforts. “Haotong backed up winning the 2014 PGA Tour China money list by becoming the first Chinese to compete on the Web.com Tour last year, when he twice came close to winning European Tour events and was a standout at the WGC-HSBC Champions. “Winning his first European Tour title this year was another major breakthrough. He’s becoming increasingly recognised and as he’s only 20, we believe there’s a lot more to come.” Feng Shanshan, the first Chinese golfer to win a Major, and 20-year-old Lin Xiyu are also expected to represent China at Rio 2016 after finishing 11th and 24th on the women’s Olympic rankings. The International Golf Federation (IGF) will send confirmation of the quota places to the National Olympic Committees (NOCs) by July 12, no later than 17.00 Eastern US time. The NOCs will then confirm use of allocated quota places to the IGF who, in turn, will reallocate all unused quota places before the Rio 2016 Sport Entries Deadline on July 18. The IGF will publish a further list of 60 names for both the men’s and women’s events on Monday, July 18, which will provide ratification of all the competitors who will comprise the respective fields at the Olympic Games.

LONDON, UK (July 3 2016) - Sebastien Buemi is the new FIA Formula E champion after clinching the title courtesy of setting the Visa Fastest Lap during the season-ending Visa London ePrix. The final race of the 2015/16 season was a controversial affair, brought about by title rivals Buemi and Lucas di Grassi colliding on the opening lap of the race. Buemi made a slow start from pole, and was rear-ended by di Grassi under braking for Turn 3. The incident took the rear wing off Buemi’s Renault e.dams entry, while there was significant front end damage to the Abt Schaeffler car of di Grassi. Both drivers limped back to the pits so that they could switch to their second car. With two points on offer for the Visa Fastest Lap and both drivers tied on points, the championship now boiled down to a fight over who could be quickest over a flying lap. Both drivers - and Stephane Sarrazin - were awarded FanBoost, but the rules state that this power boost cannot be used to claim the bonus points. Waiting for a clear piece of track to emerge, the protagonists bided their time in the pits, waiting for the perfect time to get a clear lap. Di Grassi struck first, but Buemi’s response was emphatic. Di Grassi gave everything in his response, but fell short, leaving the Swiss racer to succeed Nelson Piquet Jr as Formula E champion. “The most important thing is that we won both championships,” said Buemi. “I’m actually sad you know, to win it in that way, but also to see what Lucas did because I was very respectful of his driving, he’s been amazing. Like he’s said many times, his car is very bad and he is a very good driver, and if he was in my car he’d be at least half a second quicker! “He’s a great driver, he did 24 hours in Le Mans, he never touched a car. He went between Nico and the wall, and I could tell you there was maybe five centimetres and once he braked, I just saw on the camera, he has two options - either go to the right or nail the back of my car and he nailed it perfectly. But a little bit too strong because we both went out. “I’m a bit sad to see this because I think that was his only opportunity. In the end we had the quickest car, we were the best team. If we could’ve come out of this corner in front of him, we would’ve been far quicker.” Alain Prost, Senior Team Manager at Renault e.dams, said: “It was fantastic, we have improved the car a little bit and made it a little bit better for Nico’s style in the last few races. Sebastien was stunning today, we wanted to be on Super Pole for the three points and we got it. We wanted to be champions, we could not expect much more because in these types of races, especially on a track like this, like here in London - it’s tricky, with the weather. You can have a really different situation. It was the target and goal to be champion at the beginning of the year and we did it. It’s not very often that you have a target and you achieve your objective.” With all the focus on the championship permutations, it was easy to ignore the stunning drive that Nico Prost put in to claim back-to-back wins around Battersea Park. His win ensured that Renault e.dams retained the teams’ championship and secured him third overall in the drivers’ points. “I think di Grassi wanted to visit London so he went straight, but Seb was in the way! It didn’t end well,” he observed. “The safety cars were the main challenge, but the first car especially was flying so I could pull away quite easily every time. Then it’s just a case of remaining focused and not making a mistake. The team gave me a fantastic car this weekend, they don’t get much better than this to be honest.” There were three Qualcomm Safety Car periods during a stop-start race, and the drama continued after the flag fell with third-placed man Jean-Eric Vergne (DS Virgin), Nick Heidfeld (Mahindra) and Antonio Felix da Costa (Team Aguri) all being hit with time penalties for exceeding the permitted energy limit. This promoted Jerome D’Ambrosio of Dragon Racing to third place, his team-mate Loic Duval into fourth and Stephane Sarrazin into fifth for Venturi. Bruno Senna claimed sixth for Mahindra ahead of team-mate Nick Heidfeld. Vergne’s additional penalty for an unsafe release dropped him to eighth and the two NEXTEV TCR drivers picked up the final points positions. The weekend was a great success with 42,000 fans piling into Battersea Park over the two races and enjoying a host of eSports action and live music acts, both presented by Visa. Now the teams turn their attentions to developing their season three packages to ensure they’re ready when the all-electric racing series sparks back into life on October 9 with the HKT Hong Kong ePrix. Following an appeal from Dragon Racing regarding the Stewards decision relating to two penalties applied to Jean-Eric Vergne, the result of the race remains subject to the findings of the International Court of Appeal. 2016 Visa London ePrix (Rd 10) - Race results 1.
