COPENHAGEN air max 90 ultra moire saldi , Aug. 30 (Xinhua) -- China has secured the women's and mixed doubles gold medals at the world badminton championships while Chen Long has set up a men's title clash with top-seeded Lee Chong Wei.

Wang Xiaoli and Yu Yang downed Reika Kakiiwa and Miyuki Maeda from Japan 21-8, 21-13 in the women's doubles semifinals on Saturday and they will take on fellow Chinese Tian Qing and Zhao Yunlei, the 21-13, 21-10 winners over South Korea's Hee Lee and Seung Chan.

Zhang Nan and Zhao Yunlei defeated teammates Liu Cheng and Bao Yixin 21-15, 21-13 and Xu Chen and Ma Jin overcame host pair Joachim Fischer Nielsen and Christinna Pedersen 21-15 air max 90 hyperfuse donna , 21-9, making the mixed doubles final a Chinese affair.

Chen Long, seeded 2nd, faces Malaysian Lee in the final after the Chinese eliminated Indonesian player Tommy Sugiarto on Saturday.

The semifinal between Chen and Sugiarto, seeded 5th air max 90 hyperfuse uomo , was quite nervy as Chen trailed early in both sets but finally got the upper hand, winning 21-16, 22-20.

Chen said it was a tough match, which lasted 71 minutes, but he was patient enough although his counterpart was rather aggressive on the court.

In the other semifinal air max 90 hyperfuse scontate , Lee secured his seat in the final after beating home player Viktor Axelsen in two straight sets.

Lee, who is seeking for his first world title as his long-time rival Lin Dan skipped the championships, snatched a one-sided victory of 21-9 and 21-7 at Ballerup Super Arena.

Lee said Sunday's final would be "a tough game" if it proved to be Chen on the other side of the net, but he said he would try his best.

Earlier, Chinese Li Xuerui romped into the women's singles final with a 21-8 air max 90 verde fluo , 21-14 victory over Japanese Minatsu Mitani, setting up a championship clash with Spain's Carolina Marin, who advanced by beating Indian Sindhu P. V. 21-17, 21-15.

In the men's doubles final, Yong Dae Lee and Yeon Seong Yoo will confront fellow South Koreans Sung Hyun Ko and Baek Choel Shin.

As test events start this week for the 2018 Winter Olympics, host Pyeongchang is facing the uncomfortable truth that it's a place not many people have heard of.

When it comes to name recognition, the isolated South Korean ski resort remains resolutely off-piste - and can also be confused with the North Korean capital, Pyongyang.

Promotional efforts aren't being helped by news reports linking Pyeongchang to the snowballing corruption scandal engulfing South Korea's President Park Geun-hye.

But organizers hope -Pyeongchang's profile will rise as it embarks on a five-month program of test events starting with a snowboard World Cup competition this week.

Alpine skiing and figure skating are also among 26 competitions to be held at Olympic venues before the end of April air max 90 rosse uomo , a hectic and challenging schedule for the hosts.

"The biggest challenge at the moment is how to promote the Games over the world, because this is a small place," the head of the IOC Coordination Commission on Pyeongchang, Gunilla Lindberg, said last month. "It's not Rio de Janeiro and it's not London."

It's also quite remote.

Arrivals at South Korea's main Incheon international airport face a 250-kilometer journey to the other side of the peninsula - a three-and-a-half-hour trip by car.

A high-speed rail link connecting Seoul and Gangneung - a coastal city some 40 kilometers east of -Pyeongchang - is expected to open in July next year.

Pyeongchang not Pyongyang

Because of limited space in Pyeongchang air max 90 rosse , many athletes and spectators will stay in Gangneung, which is hosting the ice skating events.

The launch of ticket sales has been postponed until February, a year before the Games starts, with organizers hoping for a recognition bounce from the busy winter schedule.

"Maybe it could be a bit easier if Pyeongchang was as well-known as Seoul or Vancouver, but it's not a major factor air max 90 donna blu ," said You Ji-hyun, a spokesperson for the organizing committee.

"The test events will be key in bringing the international winter sports fans' attention to Pyeongchang."

Organizers will also be hoping that no visitors make the same mistake as the Kenyan delegate to a UN conference held in Pyeongchang in 2014, who mistakenly flew to Pyongyang.

Landing without a valid visa, he was interrogated for five hours by North -Korean customs officials and fined $500.

To help people differentiate, provincial authorities have "rebranded" the resort as "PyeongChan. Cheap Jerseys From China   Cheap Jerseys Shop   Cheap Jerseys China Online   Cheap T-shirts   Cheap Hats   Cheap New Jerseys   Cheap MLB Jerseys Wholesale   Wholesale China Jerseys   Wholeasale Jerseys From China   Wholesale Jerseys From China
