World's Largest Natural Ice Rink Reopens - Ottawa

World's Largest Natural Ice Rink Reopens - Ottawa

A skater hoists their leg over a closed gate leading to the Rideau Canal Skateway, on the morning of its opening day in Ottawa, ON, Canada on Sunday, January 21, 2024. Renowned Rideau Canal Skateway, the world's largest natural ice skating rink, opened for skating on Sunday morning for the first time in two years, the National Capital Commission (NCC) said. The 7.8-km (4.9-mile) Rideau Canal Skateway, which first opened over 50 years ago, opens new tab, is part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Canada's capital city Ottawa and is also a top attraction for skating enthusiasts seeking outdoor thrills during Canada's usually biting cold winters. The canal did not open to skating last season in early 2023 for the first time due to a lack of ice, NCC, which maintains and operates the skateway, said at the time, blaming the closure on a mild winter caused by climate change.

TOP 10 CHINESE SPORTS NEWS EVENTS IN 2022

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)
