【新闻】索普复出首战选择100米个人混合泳和100米蝶泳 2011-10-17 北京时间10月17日消息,澳大利亚著名游泳选手索普今年2月宣布复出后,积极进行恢复训练,下个月他将随澳大利亚队参加短池世界杯新加坡站的比赛。复出首战,索普不会参加主项100米和200米自由泳的争夺,而是选择通过100米个人混合泳和100米蝶泳来检验自己的状态。上周索普因为胸腔感染而停止训练,不过索普的经纪人表示,索普的病情并不严重。   索普曾夺得过5枚奥运会金牌、11枚世锦赛金牌,同时还曾是13项世界纪录的保持者。06年11月,当时年仅24岁的索普突然宣布退役。在沉寂5年之后,今年2月,索普突然宣布自己即将归来,要力争恢复状态参加明年的伦敦奥运会。   根据世界反兴奋剂条例规定,复出后的索普需要9个月的等待才能参加国际比赛。于是11月4日至5日举行的短池世界杯新加坡站成为索普2006年后参加的首场正式比赛。不过在新加坡,索普不会参加自己的主项100米自由泳和200米自由泳,而是选择通过100米个人混合泳和100米蝶泳来检验自己的状态。   随后11月8日至9日的北京站比赛,索普将继续参加100米个人混合泳和100米蝶泳的比赛。而11月12日至13日进行的东京站比赛,索普将会参加100米自由泳的赛事,届时索普将展现自己真正的实力。   复出之日日益临近,索普却在最近遇到麻烦事,上周澳大利亚名将受到胸腔感染的困扰,无法进行正常的训练。不过索普的经纪人弗拉斯卡斯告诉记者不用担心索普的情况,“他受到感染已有几天了,但他还是回到了训练池里。上周日晚我和他通了话,他说情况已经好多了。我觉得这没有什么好担心的。索普自己对此也不紧张,所以我确信他复出应该没问题。”   谈到即将来临的复出之战,弗拉斯卡斯表示索普目前很期待比赛,“他说现在他有点紧张,他很渴望再次成为澳大利亚队的一员,也很渴望能够正式的比一场。当然他并不期待自己马上创造奇迹,毕竟他已经那么久没有比赛了。”   澳大利亚队将会派出25名运动员参加新加坡站的比赛,该队另一名复出队员特里克特也将参赛,北京奥运会100米蝶泳金牌获得者将参加50米和100米自由泳以及蝶泳的比赛。
【新闻】Flagship Carrier for Australia May 5, 2010 Qantas Airlines is the national airline of Australia. Qantas is Australia?s largest airline with its main hub at Sydney International Airport. Qantas also has hubs at Melbourne Airport, Brisbane Airport and Perth Airport. Qantas operates international flights into Brisbane, Parth, Singapore, Los Angeles and London. Qantas Airlines was founded in’20 and is the second oldest continuously operating airline in the world, as well as the oldest operating airline in the English speaking world. It is a member of the Oneworld alliance, one of the largest airline alliance programs in the world. Qantas Airlines is a private company and one of the most profitable airlines in the world. Qantas Airlines was voted Third Best Airline in the World in the 2008 World Airline Awards. The company and its affiliates maintain hundreds of aircraft and fly Airbus and Boeing planes. Qantas names its aircrafts after Greek gods, stars, famous Australian aviators, Australian birds and Australian cities. The name Qantas, always spelled without a “u,” is an acronym for “Queensland and Northern Territory Aerial Services.” Adventure travelers seeking to tour Antarctica can fly on Qantas charters booked by Croydon Travel. Qantas flew its first tours of Antarctica in’77. These tours were suspended in’79 after the disastrous crash of Air New Zealand Flight 901 on Mt. Erebus, but were restarted the summer of’94. Qantas ensures that all its Antarctic flight crews have had extensive training in polar operations and know what to do in whiteouts, such as those that contributed to the’79 Air New Zealand disaster. Qantas believes in rewarding customer loyalty, which is the basis of its frequent flyer program. Passengers accrue points based on distance flown, with bonuses that vary by travel class. Points can be earned on both Qantas flights and Oneworld alliance member flights. Qantas has faced criticism regarding availability of seats for members redeeming points, so Qantas overhauled its frequent flyer program in July 2008. The two key new features are Any Seat rewards, in which members can redeem any seat on the plane at a price. The second new feature is Points Plus Pay, where members can use a combination of cash and points to redeem an award. The first airline to allow cell phone use during flights, Qantas also provides seat-back access to email and web browsing and wireless internet. It also offers an extensive in-flight entertainment system. Some planes use Mainscreen, where drop-down video menus offer either television programs or recent films, depending on the length of the flight. Other planes use Total Entertainment, which is an on-demand audio/video system. Quantas has recently announced a program to offset its carbon emissions. The program encourages passengers to fly carbon-neutral, and allows them to pay for their offsets in either frequent flier points of cash. Qantas donates program proceeds to government-certified carbon offset projects with a Greenhouse Friendly authentication. Professional golfer Greg Norman and Olympic swimmer Ian Thorpe are representatives for the program.
