A CELEBRITY challenge featuring sailing pros such as Goran Petersson, president of the International Sailing Federation opened Aug. 21. Famous Chinese sailors such as Guo Chuan and Zhai Mo also attended the matches. In the end, the team led by Anders Lewander won the match, while Peterson's team came third. Although Petersson is 69 years old, he proved himself and his theory - sailing can be done by people of all ages - with his achievements. After the match, he said that the match had been a great idea and everyone could get to know each other better through the competition. He also hoped that the match could be held every year. Lewander was excited about winning the match, but he said he could win because he was more familiar with this sea area than other competitors. (Wang Yuanyuan, Sun Fei) |
