BRUSSELS, Nov. 23 (Xinhua) -- The European Union (EU) decided Tuesday to enhance sports diplomacy, namely, to influence diplomatic, intercultural, social, economic and political relations through the use of sports.
The decision was made at a meeting of the EU's Education, Youth, Culture and Sports Council, which was held on Monday to Tuesday.
The council invited member states to explore the potential of better using sports at the national level, in particular through education and the involvement of well-known athletes as messengers, to promote positive sporting and European values.
The council responded warmly to the decision to hold a European Year of Cultural Heritage in 2018, which is designed to "raise awareness of the richness of European cultural heritage and the opportunities it can offer and to share the European values and ideals embedded in cultural heritage," according to a press release of the European Council.

hydro flask standard mouth pink sale , Aug. 29 (Xinhua) -- With focus on defending his New York marathon title, world's fastest marathon runner Geoffrey Mutai will be keen to test his speed in the Czech Republic on Sept. 6.
Though Mutai's fastest time of 2:03.02 was not ratified by the IAAF, because the Boston marathon had steep start and finish points, the New York Marathon champion will be eyeing fast time when he returns to the USA after poor run in London, where he finished fifth.
But there is a small matter of a sprint road race on Sept. 6 when he comes up at the RunCzech Running League is the Birell 10km in Prague.
"I have done enough training and will be keen to assess my speed. Winning is important

The race will see the fastest marathoner of all time, Mutai, who holds a 27:19 minute time over the 10km distance against a relative newcomer to the international running scene

Ronoh has two half marathon wins under his belt this year, a 60: 17 clocking in Olomouc, Czech Republic and then a 59:45 personal best time in Klagenfurt (Germany) last weekend.
Another top contender is Daniel Chebii (27:35) who looks evenly matched with Mutai at the 10km distance.
Helah Kiprop (31:19) of Kenya and Esther Chemtai Ndiema (31:27) have run under that mark in the past.
Another contender is Ethiopia's Genet Ayalew, a former World Youth medallist, who has a best of 31:47 from 2010 when she was 17.
