TIANJIN Rush Dion Dawkins Jersey , Aug.30 (Xinhua) -- China-born American Jay Shi made history at the Chinese National Games here on Monday simply by starting the men's 50m pistol competition at the Tuanbo Lake Shooting Range.


Shi, who was born in Tianjin in 1979 before immigrating to the United States when he was nine years old, became the first overseas athlete of Chinese heritage to ever make an appearance at the National Games, China's premier sporting event.


The 38-year-old seemed excited about his participation in the National Games, although he failed to progress through the qualification round.


"It's amazing. Even now I can't believe it," Shi told Xinhua after the competition. "Showing up on the National Games arena and hearing my relatives chant and cheer for me is an experience as precious as hitting a bull's eye."


In addition to Shi Rush Zay Jones Jersey , seven other athletes from the Chinese diaspora were allowed to compete at the Tianjin Games. It is the first time in the 58-year history of the event that overseas Chinese have take part, a change made as part of reforms introduced by the State General Administration of Sports.


Shi, who is a web engineer by profession, says he dreamed of competing at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing but couldn't make through the US Olympic trials. Last year, Shi fulfilled his Olympic dream at Rio 2016.


But then came a blow. The International Shooting Sports Federation, the governing body for Olympic-style shooting Rush Tre'Davious White Jersey , recommended to replace three men-only events (50m rifle prone, 50m pistol and double trap) with three mixed team events (10m air rifle, 10m air pistol and trap) at Tokyo 2020.


Shi said that he would have to switch to the air rifle under those changes. But when he learnt in July that the National Games were also open to overseas athletes of Chinese heritage, he immediately applied for a slot in the men's 50m pistol.


Shi wore a uniform bearing a banner that read 'Nan Yi Li Kai', which means 'Hard to Say Goodbye', during Monday's competition.


"This is my last 50m pistol race. What makes it even more special is the race was held in my motherland. 'Nan Yi Li Kai' is exactly how I feel Rush Tremaine Edmunds Jersey ," Shi explained.


Shi plans to take a day off to meet friends and relatives before flying back to the United States.


"I will always cherish this experience. I hope I can come back again to compete at the National Games in the future," he said.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 24 (Xinhua) -- A white man convicted of two racially-motivated murders was executed Thursday in the southeastern state of Florida with an anesthetic never used before in U.S. lethal injections.


Mark Asay, 53, was the first white man in Florida's history to be executed for killing a black victim since the state reinstated the death penalty in the 1970s.


Asay was pronounced dead at 6:22 p.m. (2222 GMT) at a state prison, after taking a three-drug injection that began with the anesthetic Rush Josh Allen Jersey , etomidate.


Etomidate, recently approved by the Florida Supreme Court, was under criticism as being unproven in an execution. It replaced midazolam, a drug harder to acquire as many drug producers refused to provide it for executions.


During the execution, the injection of Etomidate was followed by a dose of potassium acetate, a paralytic Women's Star Lotulelei Jersey , and then rocuronium bromide, a muscle relaxant which stops the heart.


Asay was sentenced to death in 1988 for killing two men in separate incidents on the same day in 1987. One of the victims was a 34-year-old black man, and the other was a 26-year-old man of mixed race, white and Hispanic.


The state's top court rejected earlier this month a motion filed by Asay's attorneys to prevent the injection on the claim that etomidate would cause too much pain.


The execution came shortly after the murder's final appeal was denied.


A spokesman for the Florida Department of Corrections said Asay asked for a fried ham, fried pork chops, french fries Women's Vontae Davis Jersey , vanilla swirl ice cream and a coke for his last meal.


According to the Death Penalty Information Center, Asay is the 93rd convicted inmate to have been executed since the U.S. Supreme Court reintroduced the death penalty in 1976.

Japanese Emperor Akihito

Japanese Emperor Akihito will address the nation next week Women's Adolphus Washington Jersey , the imperial palace said Friday, following reports that the octogenarian wants to abdicate the throne of one of the world's oldest monarchies.

An Imperial Household Agency spokesperson said Akihito's address, via video, would be broadcast at 3:00 pm local time on Monday.

The 82-year-old, who has been suffering from health problems for years, was not expected to announce explicit plans to step down Women's Taron Johnson Jersey , as he is constitutionally barred from making political statements.

"The emperor will express his feelings regarding his duties as a symbol" of the nation, the spokesperson said.

But Japanese media, including public broadcaster NHK, have widely reported that Akihito would likely hint at his desire to abdicate the Chrysanthemum Throne.

Major media said last month that Akihito expressed to close advisors that he wanted to pass the throne to his eldest son, Crown Prince Naruhito, in the next few years.

The reports came as a surprise to many in Japan where the last abdication happened in 1817 Women's Harrison Phillips Jersey , nearly 200 years ago.
