BEIJING, March 16 (Xinhua) -- China plans to appoint a number of primary and middle schools as specialist football academies and offer them extra funding and policy support Nike Air Force 1 Sale , the Ministry of Education (MOE) announced on Wednesday.


Entire academic jurisdictions will be able to apply for similar treatment if over 60 percent of their schools have high-quality football training facilities, the MOE said.


The performance of those schools and districts will also be used to evaluate local education departments.

In January, the MOE set the target of having 20,000 primary or middle schools specializing in football by 2017.


LOS ANGELES, July 26 (Xinhua) -- With the announcement from America's First Lady Michelle Obama Nike Air Force 1 Grey , the 2015 Los Angeles Special Olympic World Games was officially opened in LA Memorial Colosseum on Saturday.

In this year's Special Olympics, there are 6,500 athletes from 165 countries and regions, competing in 25 different games.


China sends 126 delegates, including 93 athletes, to compete in 69 events of 10 sports of track Nike Air Force 1 White , swimming, basketball, soccer, ping-pong, weightlifting, gymnastics, skidding Nike Air Force 1 Black , grounder and badminton.


"In China, our people with special disabilities need more love and concern, and you can feel it when you pay attention to the Special Olympics," said the Chinese promotion ambassador for the Special Olympics, Liu Tao, "We should do something for them, creating more opportunities for them to present themselves; we should accept them more Nike Air Force 1 Red , so they can be more confident and brighter."


Special Olympics is the international athletic training and competing event for people with intellectual disabilities, and it is created following the ideal of Olympics.


The Special Olympic World Games is held in every two years, alternated between summer and winter. In 2007, the 12th Summer Special Olympics was held in Shanghai, China.


PARIS, Oct. 22 (Xinhua) -- World No. 3 male shuttler Jan O Jorgensen's defending campaign was snapped here on Wednesday as the out of form Dane fell at the first round of the French Open, while three men's doubles pairs from China suffered early exit.


The 26-year-old Jorgensen Nike Air Force 1 Mens , who was forced to withdraw from a last-16 match of the world badminton championships due to a knee injury in late August, was beaten 25-23, 9-21, 21-15 by Chinese Taipei's Chou Tien Chen in the men's singles round of 32.


"It's a bad game, and I'm very disappointed since I hoped more, " said the Dane. "I've been injured for too long time since the world championships. I'm short of practice. That's why I lost."


He said the reason of losing was his own poor judgment, rather than his physical conditions. "I'm physically all right at this moment Nike Air Force 1 Womens ," he said. "I just made a hundred of mistakes."


"I've been struggling the last few months to get ready for the two tournaments," he referred to the Denmark Open last week and the ongoing French Open.


"It's disappointing since this tournament is not very strong, you know, (world No. 1 Malaysian) Lee Chong Wei and (world No. 2 Chinese) Chen Long are not here. It's really a chance to get a title. And I was not even close to do that.


"I need to go home and practice more and get well prepared for the coming tournament China Open," he added.


China were the other disappointing pack as three of the world badminton powerhouses' pair of men's doubles got ousted on Wednesday's first round matchups, while Chen Yuekun won the battle of qualifiers over fellow Chinese Xue Song in the men's singles.
