Roller Sports of Asian Games Guangzhou 2010
アジアのオリンピック、The 16th Asian Games が11月12日から27日まで中国の Guangzhou で開催されます。日本からも多くの種目に大勢の選手が派遣されます。特に、今回から新種目としてローラースポーツが加わり、メダル獲得の期待できる篠塚奈知（スピード）選手、西木紳悟（アーティスティックスケート）選手の少数精鋭2名がチャレンジします。
Roller Sports came from the ice skating. In 1863, New Yorker James Plimpton solved the problem of controlling skates, he used a rubber cushion to anchor the axles. Plimpton's design is considered the basis for the modern roller skate. From then on, roller sports have been wildly spreading all over the world. It's the first time that roller sports became a competition sport in Asian Games in Guangzhou Asian Games, 2010.
Roller sports include speed skating and artistic skating in Asian Games. The two categories are very popular. Speed skating is spectacular, fast and easy, only a road or a street and a pair of roller skates are needed. Artistic skating is a widely practiced sport which demands a careful balance of strength, precision and artistry.
The sports meet, held every 4 years, is drawing about 14,000 athletes and officials from 45 countries and territories in Asia. The athletes will compete in 42 events, including soccer matches that are already underway.
The opening ceremony will begin at 8 PM, local time, at Haixinsha Citizen Square on the Pearl River, which runs through the city.
Japan has sent top athletes to many of the events at the Games with an eye on the 2012 London Olympics.
Badminton player Reiko Shiota will bear the Japanese flag at the ceremony. The Japanese team will march into the stadium as the 13th country.
The Japanese team leader, Noriyuki Ichihara, says Japan aims to finish in 2nd place in the number of gold medals, outnumbering South Korea that grabbed that position last time.
The Asian Games will open amid a strained relationship between Japan and China following the September collision by a Chinese trawler with Japanese patrol boats near Japan's Senkaku Islands, claimed by China and Taiwan.
On Monday, a soccer match between Japan and China was held amid tight security and ended without major trouble. Japan's Consulate General in Guangzhou is urging Japanese athletes and visitors to exercise caution for the remainder of the Games.

X-tech Skates: Ladies Points Elimination Final preview and Korea Dominate 10,000 PEAsian Games: Guangzhou 2010
by Alexander Bont (Nov. 24, 2010)Here is a really sad story. Hyo Sook Woo (우효숙) of Korea is an absolute machine. She never gives up and she has won numerous world titles. Many of the Asian teams had to miss the world championships this year because the Asian games are more important to their nations. Hyo Sook is a bit superstitious and actually skates with a 4 leaf clover under the foot bed of her skates. Another thing she does before each race is to write a message on the ground in chalk to give her good luck. Before yesterdays 10k, she wrote a message to her sick grandmother to say that if she wins, she will dedicate this medal to her and that she wants nothing more than to put an Olympic Gold Medal around her grandmothers neck. The Asian games are the Olympics of inline skating to the Asian countries. A few days before Hyo Sooks first race, her grandmother passed away. Her parents and coach discussed what the best thing to do would be and they agreed not to tell Hyo Sook until after the race. Hyo Sook won the 10k and then the coach told her the bad news.
