中國青島天泰2008鷹鈴級帆船隊今天在青島成立
中國青島天泰２００８鷹鈴級帆船隊２８日在青島成立。據介紹，這支帆船隊將代表中國備戰并參加２００８年奧運會鷹鈴級帆船比賽。
青島市市長夏耕和其他政府官員參加了帆船隊的成立儀式。
青島是２００８年北京奧運會伙伴城市，為實現承辦奧帆賽的目標，青島市積極爭取成立一支能夠代表青島、代表國家備戰和參加２００８年奧帆賽的帆船隊。２００４雅典奧運會中國體育代表團凱旋之后，國家體育總局水上運動管理中心根據備戰２００８年奧運會的項目布局，正式確定由青島市體育局組建中國青島天泰２００８帆船隊，代表中國備戰并參加奧帆賽鷹鈴級帆船比賽。
鷹鈴級帆船為３人操縱的龍骨型帆船，長６米３５，寬１米７３，帆面積１４平方米，船重２００公斤到２３０公斤。此船適合女子或青少年開展運動。鷹鈴級帆船運動在北歐地區較為普及，２００４年雅典奧運會被列為比賽項目。
中國青島天泰2008鷹鈴級帆船隊的建立將有助于奧運會帆船比賽的相關知識的傳播，及青島在即將到來的奧運會中城市形象的提升。
