URUMQI http://www.cheapnbajerseyssuns.com/jared-dudley-jersey/ , Jan. 22 (Xinhua) -- Two-time Olympic champion Zhou Yang has aimed for a hat-trick of Olympic titles in women's 1,500m short-track speedskating in Pyeongchang 2018, after winning two gold medals at the Chinese National Winter Games.

Zhou failed to make the final of her signature 1,500m event after an accidental fall in the semis on Thursday. The 24-year-old shrugged off the disappointment to win 1 http://www.cheapnbajerseyssuns.com/marquese-chriss-jersey/ ,000m in a national-record time and anchor team Changchun to victory in the women's 3,000m relay.

Zhou punched in the air after the 1,000m final and looked relieved as it was her first gold medal at these National Winter Games, the top winter sports competition in China.

"All the energy saved yesterday is used today http://www.cheapnbajerseyssuns.com/grant-hill-jersey/ ," said Zhou, who were quite disappointed after Thursday's elimination. "I've waited for this race for a long time and I'm happy about my result."

"I do feel some pressure after yesterday's competition," she added. "I thought too much before the 1,500m http://www.cheapnbajerseyssuns.com/jason-kidd-jersey/ , because I really wanted to win."

Zhou won the 1,000m final in one minute 28.742 seconds. Yang Yang from the Chinese Army and Fan Kexin from Qitaihe finished second and third respectively.

Zhou's time smashed the previous national record which was set by Fan in Tuesday's preliminaries.

"If you want to break the record in short track, you need to make sure everything is good, and the rink is very important. The rink here is very good http://www.cheapnbajerseyssuns.com/shaquille-oneal-jersey/ ," said Zhou.

Zhou, the current 1,500m world record holder, now eyes more glories at the 2018 Olympics in Pyeongchang.

"I definitely want to win the 1 http://www.cheapnbajerseyssuns.com/steve-nash-jersey/ ,500m gold medal for the third straight time in Pyeongchang," she told reporters. "No one has achieved the feat so far in winter sports."

Zhou, who has been bothered by injuries in recent years, has yet to hit top form as she didn't make the top podium so far in this season's World Cup series.

"I think my age is Ok http://www.cheapnbajerseyssuns.com/leandro-barbosa-jersey/ , and the biggest problem for me is injury," she said. "I still need time to recover."

Fan also had impressive performance at the National Winter Games. She won the 1,500m title and her time surpassed Zhou's world record.

"I have to say I am surprised by Fan's form," Zhou said. "She was a little weak in 1 http://www.cheapnbajerseyssuns.com/dan-majerle-jersey/ ,500m, but she won in 2:16.024, and I think she was in really good form."

In the men's race, Sochi Olympic runner-up Han Tianyu won the 1 http://www.cheapnbajerseyssuns.com/kevin-johnson-jersey/ ,000m in 1:24.894, while Wu Dajing, also a silver medalist in Sochi 2014, led team Jilin to take the 5 http://www.cheapnbajerseyssuns.com/penny-hardaway-jersey/ ,000m relay title.

The 13th National Winter Games, which kicked off Wednesday, will run through Jan. 30. It is for the first time since the winter sporting gala was introduced in 1959 that the quadrennial event has been held outside the northeastern provinces of Heilongjiang and Jilin. Enditem

NAIROBI， July 22 (Xinhua) -- African countries face a higher risk of failing to repay huge amounts of foreign and domestic debt， which has ballooned to 443 billion U.S. dollars， or 22 percent of the yearly national earnings， given the falling prices of minerals and other commodity exports， a U.N. report says.

The UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) said in a new report published in Nairobi the African countries faced the risk of economic stagnation as a result of the huge debts.

Seven African countries - Ghana， Djibouti， Mauritania， Burundi， Chad， Central Africa Republic， Sao Tome and Principe - have been facing severe debt crisis while Sudan and Zimbabwe are currently on debt distress， unable to repay their foreign debts after the collapse of the international commodity markets.

The Economic Development in Africa Report 2016， released late on Thursday， found out Africa's external debt ratios appeared manageable， but governments must act to prevent the debt from becoming a crisis such as those of the 1980s and the 1990s.

"Africa is not overstretched in the debt markets. It is the collapse of the world commodity markets which has left several countries vulnerable to economic shocks，" said Mukhisa Kituyi， UNCTAD Secretary-General.

UNCTAD said a decade of strong economic growth driven by the high prices for commodities such as coffee， tea， minerals such as diamonds， cocoa and oil and gas， saw African countries register strong economic growth and allowed more of those states to access the international debt markets.

Several African countries have borrowed heavily on their domestic markets， according to the report.

According to the report， studies of debt trends in Ghana， Kenya， Nigeria， Tanzania and Zambia， showed the debts rose from an average of 11 percent of the Gross Domestic Product to 19 percent in 2013.

The debt crisis facing some countries comes in the wake of revelations that some countries like Mozambique， borrowed 1.3 billion dollars in secret debt deals.

UNCTAD said the external borrowing by any country should be governed by transparency and accountability.

"We insist on transparency whenever the government is borrowing. This is a requirement by the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund，" Kituyi said.

UNCTAD estimates 600 billion dollars is required every year to finance the reduction of poverty initiatives set out under the UN Sustainable Development Goals in Africa alone.

While the amount required to fight poverty remains much higher， UNCTAD recommended the African countries should move away from dependence on foreign aid and begin to look for new sources of funding for their development needs under new and innovative sources of financing.

African countries received some 63.8 billion dollars from funds sent home by their citizens in the Diaspora， which the UN body says could serve as a new source of savings to fund development.
