Updated: 2005-06-13 11:14 China will try to win a medal
in the women's softball event at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, a top sports
official said on Sunday.
Jiang Xiuyun, deputy director of the China Administration Center of Golf,
Baseball and Softball, said that the Chinese softball team, who finished fourth
in the Athens Olympic Games, has been reshuffled and the young players are
shouldering the taskof winning "a medal in the 2008 Games at home."
"Although there's still a wide gap between us and the world's top teams, I
still believe the young girls will improve three years later on our fourth
finish in Athens," Jiang said.
"Our goal in the Beijing Olympics remain unchanged. That's to win a medal of
any colors," she said.
China's best feat in the Olympics came in the Atlanta Games in 1996, where
they won the silver medal.
