BEIJING: China aims on atleast 10 gold medals in the 23rd Universiade 2005 to be held in Izmir, Turkey on August 10-21, said an official here on Thursday.
Wang Gang, the secretary of the Chinese delegation, told Xinhua that the Chinese delegation did not have specific goals, but wanted to take at least 10 golds in Turkey.
The Chinese delegation, for the first time organized by the Education Ministry instead of the State General Administration of Sport, includes 201 athletes and 119 officials and will take part in 137 disciplines of 11 events in the Universiade.
Chinese athletes are expected to do well in swimming, diving and gymnastics, said Wang, who added the delegation`s first gold may come from swimming.
China had taken the first place at the gold medal table for two consecutive Universiade with 54 gold medals in 2001 and 41 in 2003.
However, it is the first time we (the Chinese delegation) are organized by the Education Ministry, not co-organized the Education Ministry and the State General Administration of Sport, Wang said.
Some star student athletes including Liu Xiang, who chose to compete in the world athletics championships in Helsinki, will miss the university games.
According to Wang, however, a group of top athletes, including double Olympic champion diver Guo Jingjing, Asian champion swimmer Qi Hui and Olympic swimming gold medalist Luo Xuejuan will compete in the Universiade.
The 23rd Universiade will attract around 8,000 young athletes from more than 150 countries and regions.
