MOSCOW， June 17 (Xinhua) -- The Russian Sports Ministry said Friday that it was disappointed at the decision of the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) to retain suspension of the membership of All-Russia Athletic Federation (ARAF).


The ministry said it is "extremely disappointed" at this decision， which means the country's track and field athletes will be unable to participate in this summer's Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.


Russian Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko was quoted by the TASS news agency as saying that the move came as no surprise， and Russia will "come up with a response promptly."


Earlier in the day， the IAAF decided to keep in force its decision made in November last year to suspend ARAF's membership following the widespread rule-breaking scandal in the country's track and anti-doping programs. Enditem


NEW DELHI Hombre Adidas Ultra Boost Cookies and Cream Negras España , July 17 (Xinhua) -- India's presidential election began Monday, with parliamentarians and state legislators voting to select between ruling Bharatiya Janata Party's contender Ram Nath Kovind and opposition nominee Meira Kumar.


Voting began at 10:00 a.m. local time and will end at 5:00 p.m. local time. A total of 4,896 lawmakers across the country - parliamentarians and legislators - are eligible to vote in the poll, the results of which will be announced on July 20.


The winner of the election will be sworn into office for a five-year term on July 27 and will replace incumbent President Pranab Mukherjee, a political veteran who has held the post since 2012.


On the eve of the presidential election Adidas ACE 16+ PureControl Ultra Boost Hombre Negras España , Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated Kovind "in advance" and assured him of his government's support - given that his BJP and its allies have over 60 percent of the vote above the 17 opposition parties.


On the other hand, India's main opposition Congress party chief Sonia Gandhi said Sunday that the election is a fight against "narrow-minded communal vision." "In these contests, the numbers may be against us, but the battle must be fought and fought hard," she said.


The Indian president is the ceremonial head of state Adidas Ultra Boost Uncaged Negras Boost España , who plays decisive roles only in case of a hung parliament after general elections.

BEIJING, July 13 (Xinhua) -- Late geophysicist Huang Danian, who returned to China after studying and working in Britain for nearly two decades and contributed greatly to deep earth exploration technology, has become an inspiration to Chinese students overseas.

"The maxim will never be outdated for Chinese overseas students," Zhang said, noting that it remains the spirit of the time to return and serve the motherland while studying advanced technology in a foreign country.
