Chinese coach Gao Jingping said that the good result in the junior championships made Chinese rowers more confident in world-class event. They hope they can win a gold in next year's Olympics.

Despite losing to Australian 6-1 and 3-0 in men's and women's events respectively in the last round of the hockey tournament, China reaped tickets to the finals, where they will meet Australia again.

The Australian men's team, the world's best, proved their superiority in the morning event yet coach Barry Dancer said the final with China would be "a tougher game and the result will be more even."

In two other matches played in the day, Argentine women's team overpowered South Africa 6-0.

Argentina's Rebecchi Carla opened their scoring at the 21st minute and it was also their first goal in the preliminaries. They had previously lost to China and Australia, scoring no goals.

In men's group, Malaysia tied with Pakistan 1-1 and the two will compete for bronze on Monday.

Eight teams from six countries, four each in the men's and women's events, compete in the tournament held on the hockey field from August 8-13 in Beijing's Olympic Park.
