BEIJING, March 18 (Xinhua) -- Here are the Chinese sports headlines from the past week:

1. Chinese skaters win men's 5,000m relay gold at short track worlds

China suffered a 22-2 loss to South Korea in their last World Baseball Classic (WBC) group game in Tokyo.

China, coached by American Dean Treanor, were eliminated from Pool B after losing all four games. They were beaten 8-1 by Japan, 8-5 by the Czech Republic and 12-2 by Australia in their first three matches.

4. China take gold in women's team sprint at UCI Track Nations Cup

The 2023 Track Nations Cup is a chance for participating athletes to progress in their bid to earn spots at the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.
