LONDON Ecco Fusion Slip On Soldes , July 24 (Xinhua) -- Chinese insurer Anbang Insurance Group Co. is bidding for the Heron Tower in the City of London, reported Bloomberg by citing a person with knowledge of the matter on Friday.

GWANGJU, South Korea, July 14 (Xinhua) -- The Gwangju Universiade concluded on Tuesday and the multi-sport event leaves behind some memorable figures, stories and legacy.
CHINESE BAREFOOT HEROINE
Chinese girl Zhang Yingying won two medals here out of 10,000 meters and half marathon. What's touching for her story is not the medals, but how she won her bronze medal in the 10 Bottes Ecco Soldes ,000m. Zhang finished third on July 8 in 10,000m barefoot after her right-foot sneaker had been stepped off in the middle of the race. The 25-year-old held on to finish about 5,000 meters with one shoe on. The right foot was full of bloody blisters as she crossed the finish line.
The injury had not stopped her from participating the scheduled half marathon. Just four days later, Zhang captured the title of the half marathon with her right foot not healed yet.
Comparing the two medals, Zhang values her bronze in the 10,000m even much more than the gold. "The bronze out of 10 www.eccochaussuressoldes.fr ,000m is the most important medal of my life. I don't think I'm afraid of any difficulty in the future," said Zhang. "When the hard time comes, I think I can overcome it by recollecting my experience on the 10,000m track of Gwangju Universiade."
CANCER-BATTLING HERO
Just six months after recovering from testicular cancer, Thomas Van der Plaetsen successfully defended his decathlon title at the Universiade on July 9.
The Belgian athlete was diagnosed with cancer in October when a doping test revealed his unusually high level of HCG, a hormone indicative of the tumor. What perhaps distinguishes Van der Plaetsen from most other ailing athletes is that giving up was never an option. "Obviously Ecco Chaussures Soldes Pas Cher , I was very upset and very unhappy about it because it's something you never want to have in your life," the 24-year-old recalled his experience. "But I had to go on. I was very shocked at first, but then I tried to just accept it." [ Despite undergoing chemotherapy, even suffering from hair loss, Van der Plaetsen continued to train rigorously every day to break his own national record at the IAAF world indoor championships in 2014 with a score of 6,259 points. Last year Ecco Chaussures Soldes , the athlete received the male Golden Spike Award, which is considered to be the highest honor awarded to Belgian athletes annually.
Van der Plaetsen's success thus far surely will inspire others in similar situations. "I think my story says that you should never give up," he said. "Even if you're going through a bad period, you should keep focusing on the future and if you love and like what you do, you should go for it."
STITCHED SHOE
Fallon Forde, an athlete from the little-known Caribbean country of Barbados Homme ECCO Cool 2.0 Chaussures Noir Soldes , who walked away this Universiade with his season-best time of 21.46 seconds in the 200-meter sprint on the stitched sneaker, which is offered from a friend.
The front part of his left shoe ripped down the middle during training with only five days remaining until his first appearance at the competition. Had it not been for his attache who managed to find a local seamstress to repair it quickly, Forde would have had to sit out his first Universiade, for which he made a grueling 24-hour flight.
But this kind of mishap was just the tip of the iceberg of the extra challenges Forde has encountered. Forde is from a family of six living on slender income. "I come from a small country, so we don't have many sponsors," he said. "The little assistance I receive is from schools. They help me with therapy Homme ECCO Intrinsic 3 Cuir Noir Soldes , but that's about it."
Forde's story has won him the SK Happiness Scholarship, which totals at 50 million won (44,000 US dollars).
The 25-year-old switched over to sprinting from basketball at the ripe age of 19. When asked how he felt in his worn shoes, Forde said he barely noticed a difference.
FRIENDS-MAKING PARTY

the arena and company in the Athletes Village.
A couple of culture festivals, such as World Youth Festival and Youth Nanjang Festival, were held during the Universiade. Athletes really enjoyed the Universiade as culture-tasting and friends-making party.
Chinese diver Zheng Shuangxue, the winner of Universiade first gold, cherishes the experience much more than her victory.
