中新社北京7月28日电 北京时间28日晨，2022年斯诺克冠军联赛(排名赛版)在英国莱切斯特结束了第二阶段两个小组的争夺，世界第一奥沙利文爆冷出局，两位中国新星赵心童和庞俊旭以各自小组头名的身份挺进下一阶段的八强赛。         File Photo of giant shovelnose rays Photo: Official WeChat account of Hainan provincial officialsA total of 12 juvenile giant shovelnose rays (or giant guitarfish), a critically endangered species worldwide, have recently been successfully bred under artificial care in Sanya, South China's Hainan Province, marking a significant achievement in marine species conservation, according to a report by Hainan Province's official WeChat account, citing the People's Daily.
The giant shovelnose ray is a benthic cartilaginous fish species found in tropical and subtropical coastal waters and plays an important role in maintaining marine ecosystem balance. Listed as "Critically Endangered" on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, its wild population has declined by more than 80 percent over the past 45 years due to habitat degradation, overfishing and accidental capture.
Captive breeding of the species is highly challenging. In Sanya, the conservation team uses a 13,500-ton aquarium tank, natural seawater and a 24-hour life-support system to recreate its marine environment. Since 2018, the team has conducted long-term scientific care with minimal disturbance to reduce stress on breeding adults.
After continuous monitoring, the team discovered in May that a female giant shovelnose ray was pregnant. The mother ray was carefully transferred to an isolated breeding pool shortly before giving birth, resulting in the successful birth of 12 healthy juveniles.
The young rays can swim normally and feed independently, and are now receiving individual monitoring. Experts said that fully documenting the growth process of giant shovelnose rays from juvenile to adult stages is extremely rare worldwide, adding that the success came from long-term scientific conservation following the species' natural habits.

。至此，在本次大赛已产生的6个八强席位中，中国选手占据5席，他们分别是赵心童、庞俊旭、鲁宁、吕昊天、肖国栋，另一个八强名额被2015年世锦赛冠军、46岁的英国老将宾汉姆获得。

B | 在当地时间27日进行的第二阶段A组赛中，中国选手庞俊旭、袁思俊面对七届世锦赛冠军、“火箭”奥沙利文和“机长”卡特的挑战。结果两名中国选手分别以3:1和3:0挑落“火箭”，又分别以3:1和2:2战胜和战平卡特，两名中国选手的内战以2:2打平。最终2胜1平的庞俊旭位居小组第一晋级下一阶段，袁思俊1胜2平小组第二出局。

在赵心童与常冰玉所在的D组，赵心童均以3:0完胜常冰玉和加里·威尔逊，与马克·艾伦战至2:2平，同样以2胜1平列小组第一晋级。值得一提的是，在与常冰玉的较量中，赵心童打出单杆145分，刷新了个人职业生涯和本次比赛迄今的单杆最高分纪录。2022年斯诺克冠军联赛(排名赛版)是2022-2023赛季斯诺克的揭幕赛，比赛于6月28日-7月29日在莱切斯特举行，分为3个阶段：第一阶段128名球员分成32个小组进行单循环赛，各小组第一晋级第二阶段；第二阶段的32强分成8个小组，各小组第一晋级决赛阶段的八强赛。中国军团共有24人报名参加了这一赛事。在今年四月的斯诺克世锦赛正赛上遭遇一轮游后，中国台球领军人物丁俊晖已返回国内，缺席了此次比赛。在第一阶段赛中，中国军团7人成功突围。在第二阶段赛中，除分别与庞俊旭和赵心童同组的袁思俊、常冰玉遗憾出局外，其余5人悉数晋级。在本次大赛上，世界排名前三的奥沙利文、特鲁姆普和塞尔比相继折戟，特鲁姆普和塞尔比更是爆冷止步第一阶段。排名第四和第五的罗伯逊和希金斯未报名参赛，因此，在本次大赛的八强选手中，目前暂居世界第六的赵心童成为世界排名最高的选手，他也一跃而成最大夺冠热门。从在2021-2022赛季的岁末年初连获英锦赛和德国大师赛两个排名赛冠军后，生于1997年的赵心童就当之无愧地成为中国斯诺克新生代的领军人物。在第二阶段赛中，赵心童的强势表现和极佳状态，则成为他赢得本赛季首冠的重要砝码。
