SANTA CLARA Cheap Nike Air Max 1 Clearance , United States, June 22 (Xinhua) -- Two Chinese among 13 aquatic notables were inducted to the International Swimming Hall of Fame (ISHOF) in Santa Clara, California.

Lao Lishi, born on December 12 Cheap Nike Air Max Clearance , 1987 in Zhanjiang, Guangdong, represented China at the 2004 Summer Olympics, earning a silver medal in the 10-meter women's platform and a gold medal in women's 10-meter synchronized platform along with Li Ting.

"Because we believe young women athletes need role models to look up to Cheap Air Max 1 Clearance , not only for their athletic careers, but for their their post athlete careers, we are ecstatic that Anne has agreed to accept this honor from the International Swimming Hall of Fame," Donna de Varona, ISHOF's Chairwoman of the Board says in a statement.
