News Plus慢速英语:苏炳添百米突破10秒大关创历史 江西警方破获微信诈骗团伙

2015-06-23来源:Economist

Now the news continues.
China's sprinter Su Bing-tian became the first Asian-born athlete to beat the 10 seconds barrier in the men's 100 meters.
In Saturday's Eugene Grand Prix, Su finished third in 9.99 seconds, behind American Tyson Gay in 9.88 and Mike Rodgers in 9.9.
25-year-old Su said he is proud for the result and he can write his name into history. He said he will now work harder and tries to run faster.
Asian-born athletes have been working hard for years to beat the 10 seconds mark until Su achieved it.
Previously, China's Zhang Pei-meng raced to his personal best of 10 seconds of the 2013 Moscow world championships, and was considered the closest to beating the barrier.
Su was filled with confidence and started to set his sights on "creating miracles" for China in August's world championships at the famous "Bird's Nest" National Stadium in Beijing.

Four people have been arrested in East China's Jiangxi province for alleged fraud conducted via the mobile messaging app WeChat.
Local police said the suspects first joined WeChat groups for antique aficionados. Then the ringleader, surnamed Chen, advertised items for sale and asked friends to pose as buyers and leave positive comments.
When contacted by potential buyers, Chen asked them to send money to his bank account. However, when he received the money, Chen blocked the buyers' WeChat accounts without shipping the items and disappeared.
Police began investigating the scam ring in February.
