介绍:
China wins sixth straight Sudirman Cup title
China clinched their sixth straight Sudirman Cup title with a 3-0 win over Japan.
Fu Haifeng/Zhang Nan gave China their first win in men's doubles.
In women's singles, reigning Olympic champion Li Xuerui made it 2-0 for China when she swept past Akane Yamaguchi.
Lin Dan then sealed the title clincher. "Super" Dan beat Takeda Ueda to give China the 3-0 sweep and the Sudirman title.
Li Yongbo, who had never let the Sudirman title slip out of his hand since becoming China's coach some 20 years ago, is already looking ahead.
"The finals are perfect. We didn't expect them to go so well, as Japan are also a strong team. I sense that fans and the public are entertaining two mentalities, that they hope China win, or they hope China lose so there will be new champions. Either way they are showing concerns and support. China made history today by winning six straight titles, and we will attempt to reach new highs at the next Sudirman Cup in Australia."
It was also China's 10th Sudirman Cup win overall since the tournament started in 1989.

Dongfeng Race Team leading leg 7 of Volvo Ocean Race
In sailing,
The fleet embarked on the seventh leg of the Volvo Ocean Race from Newport, Rhode Island to the Portuguese capital of Lisbon.
China's Dongfeng Race Team are leading the fleet.
They are ahead of overall leader Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing by two nautical miles at the last check.
MAPFRE, winners of the in-port race prior to the leg, led briefly and are now close behind in third place.
Light winds are forcast but Abu Dhabi's skipper Ian Walker is anticipating lots of ups and downs on the treacherous transatlantic route.
"The first 24 hours it's pretty light actually. We're going to have a nice breeze hopefully in the harbour and they it will die off as we go past Nantucket shoal so pretty light and then slowly feeding into a new wind from the northwest and getting into the gulf stream and hopefully things will liven up a bit so that by the end of tomorrow and tomorrow night, we could be in for some pretty big sea sailing."
The return to Europe at the end of this 2,800 nautical mile journey is expected to be completed in eight to ten days.
Houston Rockets beat LA Clippers in Game 7 to reach Western Conference finals
Over in the NBA,
The Houston Rockets are through to the Western Conference finals for the first time in 18 years.
They beat the Los Angeles Clippers 113 – 100 in Game 7.
Houston had conquered an early 3-1 deficit to win the series.
It was only the ninth time in NBA history that a team has done so.
Houston coach Kevin McHale said 3-1 felt really bad, but that they ground it out one game at a time to bounce back.
"We've had many three-game winning streaks throughout the year and our guys just rallied together and they just did a hell of a job. So that was a really good game for us on both sides of the ball. That's a high-potent offence and we were able to keep it in check somewhat."
Guard James Harden called it an "ultimate confidence booster" that will motivate them in the finals.
The Rockets will visit the Golden State Warriors for the opening game of the Western Conference finals on Thursday morning Beijing time.
