TOP 10 CHINESE SPORTS NEWS EVENTS IN 2022

(221227) -- BEIJING, Dec. 27, 2022 (Xinhua) -- File photo taken on Aug. 6, 2021 shows members of Team China enter the court before the men's 4x100m relay final at Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, in Tokyo, Japan. China's bronze medal in the men's 4x100 meters relay at last year's Tokyo Olympics was officially recognized by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in May after Britain was stripped of the silver over a doping violation. The Chinese quartet of Su Bingtian, Xie Zhenye, Wu Zhiqiang and Tang Xingqiang posted a time of 37.79 seconds to finish behind Italy, Britain and Canada in Tokyo. But the Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled on February 18 that Britain's first-leg runner, Chijindu Ujah, had violated anti-doping regulations. This resulted in the upgrade of Canada and China to silver and bronze medals, respectively. (Xinhua/Li Yibo)

(211229) -- BEIJING, Dec. 29, 2021 (Xinhua) -- File photo taken on July 29, 2021 shows athletes of the Russian Olympic Committee (ROC) celebrating after winning the women's foil team gold medal fencing match against France at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo, Japan. The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) said on February 2 it would not appeal against Russia's two-year ban, which was cut from four years by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in late 2020. Due to several doping scandals, Russian athletes are forced to compete under a neutral flag instead of the Russian flag at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games, the Beijing 2022 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, and the Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup among other global sporting events.
