星期五 2015.4.24
Table tennis world championships will be played in Suzhou, China starting April 26.
The first round is completed in Snooker World Championship, with notable retirees Steven Maguire and Mark Williams. Second round offers interesting matches, for example Ding Junhui vs John Higgins, which is already underway.
Golden State Warriors, Chicago Bulls and Cleveland Cavaliers are only a win away from NBA conference semi-finals.
Anaheim was the first team to qualify from NHL Stanley Cup playoffs first round. Three more slots are open in conference semis.
CCTV 5+ continues NHL coverage, and will also cover Men's Ice Hockey World Championship which start a week from now. Without a doubt Beijing's bid for 2022 Winter Olympics is having positive effect on ice hockey visibility in the country's media.
In Premier League we will have the weekend's top match in Sunday night with league runner-ups Arsenal hosting league leaders Chelsea. Chelsea is well positioned to keep their lead no matter what happens in this match, but Arsenal is in tight spot with both Manchester teams right behind them within two point marginal.
