这个红绿灯其实是很智能的。可以方便我们的行人，避免跟动物发生直接接触，避免造成这种伤害。

Scenic areas in Xi’an and Nanjing asked tourists to make reservations online and also limited capacity to maintain order and control the pandemic.

2.CHINA LACROSSE LEAGUE LOOKS TO GROW FANBASE

The 2021 China Lacrosse League has wrapped up at Jiangwan Stadium in Shanghai’s Yangpu District. Reporter Zhang Yue was there and learns the sport is slowly gaining both fans and players.

For many in China, lacrosse remains a little-known sport, especially compared to fan favorites like basketball and football. But the game, which originated in North America among indigenous tribes, is believed to be about 1,000 years old. It is played with a solid rubber ball and a long stick with netting at the end.

“Lacrosse combines soccer, basketball, and hockey. It’s a challenging and skillful sport requiring strong teamwork, along with good individual coordination of the arms and legs. You need good energy to play.”棍网球是结合了结合足球、篮球以及曲棍球特点于一体，考验运动员的手脚协调性以及团队合作能力，还是很刺激的把，适合我们年轻人。

Team Hai Gui won the men’s league, while Chengdu Mulan Originals grabbed the women’s crown. One American who lives in Suzhou said the event helps promote the sport.

“Especially with the tournament, we’re just having a lot of spectators and developing the skills, and just getting more eyes on the game. We should always be trying to find friends and starting clubs and everything wherever we can. You just have to be very careful, no contact whatsoever. The kids are more capable than we think and they don’t want to hurt anybody. So I absolutely think that you can inspire a lot of youth development. “

Organizers admit that developing a sport like lacrosse isn’t easy here due to expensive equipment and finding suitable fields to play.

INTERVIEW:

Li Haishi, Event Organizer

SLDL Development Consultant

李海市主办方拉克洛斯棍网球发展顾问

“More professional and amateur clubs exist compared to 1999, when it was first introduced to China. Schools in Shanghai are more open to small sports like lacrosse, and we are already cooperating with schools to hold more competitions and tutorials. ”

Lacrosse was included in the 1904 and 1908 Olympic Games. A team from Canada won both. The IOC says the sport could return to the Olympic family as early as the 2028 Los Angeles Summer Olympics.

3.TOKYO OLYMPIC MARATHON TEST RUN HELD IN SAPPORO

COVID-19 counter-measures were in place as Tokyo Olympic organizers held a test run for the marathon in the northern Japanese city of Sapporo today. Sun Siqi has more.

Six international athletes participated in the Sapporo Challenge Half Marathon 2021, all of them underwent stringent testing protocols before and after entering Japan. Organizers urged spectators not to come and watch the race, while staff patrolled areas near the venue, urging the people that did show up to keep their distance. The Olympic marathon and other foot race events are scheduled to be held from August 5 to 8 in Sapporo.

“At this event, I hope that everyone around the world will be able to understand how well the (COVID-19) measures were implemented by watching the athletes run on television.”我希望今天全世界的民众##通过电视机看到选手们奔跑的样子，可以看到我们的防疫对策是成功的。

However, some Hokkaido residents said they didn’t believe the event was setting a good example for children.

STREET INTERVIEW:

Nobue Furutate, Hokkaido Resident 北海道居民

“I don’t think we should be doing this. At schools, all the children are practicing self-restraint but the adults are just doing whatever they want to do. That is not okay.” 我觉得不应该办测试赛。在学校里,老师都训练孩子们不要外出等, 但大人就想做什么做什么。这是不对的。

In other Olympic news, the world’s oldest person, 118-year-old Kane Tanaka, has decided not to take part in the torch relay for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics for fear of contracting the virus.
