GRETZKY- ICE HOCKEY AMBASSADOR FOR CHINA
Former NHL great Wayne Gretzky has said he is "pleasantly surprised" at the level of ice hockey in China, and that the sport has great potential to grow in the country.   "I'm really impressed by how nice and warm the Chinese people are, and I'm also pleasantly surprised by how much hockey there is here," said Gretzky. "They've got girls' teams and youth hockey programs now, and this is the second year that the NHL has played exhibition games here, so there's a sense that hockey is starting to get followed and watched more."   Despite recent high-profile attempts to improve the game's...

SKI ALPIN

THIS FEMALE SKIER IS A TOP EARNER...
While men dominate the sports world by being paid more than women, there's one sport where women are dominating instead - alpine skiing.   A new report from the Internation Ski Federation found that its top-earning athlete is skier Mikaela Shiffrin from Vail, Colorado. The report found that in the 2017-2018 season, all but one of the top 18 female skiers earned more than the male skiers in prize money. The federation also noted that this is the second year women have out-earned men in alpine skiing since the top 13 female skiers made the most in the 2016-2017. When it came to actual...

RAIKKONEN WILL LEAVE FERRARI FOR SAUBER
Kimi Raikkonen was hardly in the mood to talk about why he’s leaving Ferrari next season. Speaking at a news conference ahead of Sunday’s Singapore Grand Prix, he reverted to his typically monosyllabic and nonchalant style when asked about the reasons for his departure. It was announced this week that Ferrari will not be renewing the Finnish driver’s contract in 2019.   “This is what happened. It’s not up to me and it’s not my decision,” Raikkonen said on Thursday. “This is the outcome. At least we have an outcome.”   His seat is going to Charles Leclerc. The 20-year-old from Monaco is...

Chinese Debts- Reason For A Local PFA

Submitted by editor on

FIFPro is ready to offer assistance to professional footballers in China and other parts of the world where local player associations do not yet exist

 

Media reports this week revealed several Chinese Super League clubs are falling behind on payments, and FIFPro wishes to ensure that affected players have somewhere to turn to for help, if needed. The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) recently warned clubs in the region to settle all debts by August 31, or face disqualification from AFC matches, a move FIFPro welcomes.
