　　本届腰旗世界杯由全国腰旗联赛冠军北京首师实验中学代表中国参赛。

　　中国队第一场小组赛的对手是火力强大的墨西哥队，虽然首师实验的队员们表现也不俗，但是仍然以33-46告负，这场比赛也是腰旗世界杯首日比分最高的比赛。随后，中国队在另一场比赛中以33-26战胜韩国队，以总成绩1胜1负排在A组第三位，小组头两名是3战全胜的墨西哥和2战全胜的加拿大。

　　当地时间周五早上8点，中国队将迎战小组第一加拿大，随后在10点迎战1胜2负的小组第四日本队。

　　谈到第二天的比赛，中国队教练胡凌严（音译）说：“加拿大队既强壮，速度又很快，但是我们打得也很好，希望我们可以在这场比赛中获胜。现在我们是1胜1负，还有希望进入半决赛，但是接下来我们要面对两场硬仗。我们失利和获胜的两场比赛，双方比分都比较接近，我相信接下来两场比赛也是如此。这次参加腰旗世界杯对我们来说，也是一次学习的好机会，可以让我们看到其他球队是如何在教练的指导下打比赛的。”

China found Mexico's firepower too much to cope with as they were outscored 46-33 in the day's highest-scoring game. They recovered to record a 1-1 mark and claim third place in Group A within striking distance of Friday's opponent, second placed Canada. A 33-26 score line was good enough to see off the challenge of Korea in the team's second game.

Coach Lingyan Hu said of Friday's crunch game at 8am: "Canada are very strong and fast, but we are playing well and we hope we can beat them. We have a 1-1 record, so we can still qualify for the semi finals, but we face two difficult games.

"The game we lost and the game we won were both very close and I am sure the next two games will be similar. This whole tournament is also a learning experience for us, to see how other teams play and how they are coached."
