LONDON, Aug. 26 (Xinhua) -- China's Lin Dan will fight for his sixth world title against Denmark's third seed Victor Axelsen as the twice Olympic champion beat top-seeded Son Wan Ho of South Korea to reach the final of the World Badminton Championships here on Saturday.


Lin, who previously won the world title in 2006, 2007 Nike Air Force 1 Womens UK , 2009, 2011 and 2013, scored a hard fought-victory of 21-17, 21-14 in 59 minutes.

"It seems that everyone is talking about my age, but seldom can you see my hard work Cheap Nike Air Force 1 UK ," he said after the match. "I am very happy to keep practicing every day and to keep such a high level."


He added, "Badminton is very complicated, especially in men's singles. There are so many strong players and powerful opponents and a lot of x-factors in all of the matches. So if one player wants to go further until the finals he has to work harder than ever before. So I am very happy I managed to do this."


Lin, who also won the Olympic gold medals in 2008 and 2012, will take on Olympic bronze medalist Axelsen in Sunday's final. The 23-year-old Dane crushed twice defending champion Chen Long 21-9, 21-10 in the day's first match.


"Today I watched Victor against Chen Long Nike Air Force 1 UK ," Lin said. "I think he is playing very well and is in very good condition, throughout the whole week. Tomorrow will be my last game at this World Championships and I want to play at 100%."


Axelsen, 2014 world bronze medalist, said his dream came true entering the final.


"I am still a little out of words," he said. "I am very happy. I made little mistakes today and made very few errors. It was nice to get revenge from the Olympic semifinals, I am very proud of myself.


"My coach and I always look back at past championships to get better and improve on my game. Denmark is a small country but I am very proud that we can compete with the bigger countries. It's a dream come true http://www.cheapairforce1womensuk.com/ , ever since I was a little boy I dreamed of a World Championships final."


China's wait for a new women's world champion will continue as their only semifinalist Chen Yufei was stopped by India's fourth seed V. Sinduhu Pusarla 21-13, 21-10.


The world's most populous country has not produced a women's singles champion since Wang Yihan was crowned in 2011.


Pusarla will next face Japan's Nozomi Okuhara, who defeated another Indian Saina Nehwal, last year's silver medalist, 12-21, 21-17 Cheap Nike Air Force 1 UK Outlet , 21-10.


China's Chen Qingchen could be the only player to win two gold medals as she has reached both women's and mixed doubles finals.

CHINA has promised to cut average concentrations of PM2.5 airborne particles by more than 15 percent year on year in the winter months in 28 northern cities to meet key smog targets.


In a 143-page winter smog “battleplan” posted on its website yesterday, the Ministry of Environmental Protection said the new target, for the October-March period Cheap Nike Air Force 1 UK For sale , would apply to Beijing and Tianjin, along with 26 other cities in the smog-prone provinces of Hebei, Shanxi, Shandong and Henan.


China’s efforts to control pollution have often roiled the prices of steel, iron ore and coal with output routinely curtailed as a result of emergency smog regulations and inspection campaigns.


China is under pressure this year to meet its 2017 air quality targets. It aims to cut 2012 levels of PM2.5 by more than a quarter in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region and bring average concentrations down to 60 micrograms per cubic meter in the Chinese capital.


But PM2.5 averages rose in the first seven months of the year as a result of near record-high smog in January and February, which China blamed on unfavorable weather conditions.


Experts still believe Cheap Wholesale Nike Air Force 1 UK , however, that China remains on course to meet the 2017 targets set out in a groundbreaking air quality action plan published by the government in 2013.


“Actually, air quality from April to June was among the best over the last five years in Beijing, and we still have confidence in achieving the target,” said Shelley Yang, a project manager at the Clean Air Alliance of China Cheap Nike Air Force 1 Mid UK , a non-profit organization that includes academic, government and corporate organizations that “care about clean air.”


The government is leaving nothing to chance, with some of China’s smoggiest cities under pressure to complete annual steel and coal closure targets by the end of September and implement tougher restrictions in the following months.


By October, big steelmaking cities such as Tangshan and Handan must have plans in place to cut output by as much as 50 percent to limit smog during the winter heating season from November.


The region is also under pressure to eliminate thousands of coal-fired boilers, further restrict road haulage of coal and ensure power generators, steel mills and coking plants complete upgrades aimed at controlling emissions before heating systems are switched on.


Hebei is responsible for a quarter of China’s steel output Cheap Nike Air Force 1 High UK , with Tangshan alone producing around 100 million tons a year. Neighboring Shanxi is China’s biggest coal producer, with more than 900 million tons of annual output.
