    fiber-reinforced composite materials are widely used in sports equipment. Modern sports competition, while constantly challenging the limits of human beings, also puts forward higher requirements for professional sports equipment. Traditional sporting goods are mostly wood and its composite materials, limited by the physical properties of the material, sports performance is difficult to have a substantial breakthrough. Carbon fiber-reinforced composite materials with its high temperature, corrosion resistance, light weight, high mechanical strength outstanding advantages, in the new materials, in rowing or sailing, cycling, badminton, skiing, golf, sledding and archery and other sports, everywhere there is this black fiber figure. As the official partner of the Olympic "German House", the world's largest supplier of carbon graphite and related materials, SGL Group of Germany, built a "carbon in motion" theme business lounge at the Kempinski Hotel in Beijing, and officially opened to the public on August 8, 2008. Here with carbon materials made of rowing, bicycles, archery equipment, tennis rackets and other sporting goods, vividly demonstrated the application of carbon materials in sports, SGL "discovery carbon" series of theme activities also began.
    tennis rackets made from carbon fiber composites have obvious advantages in terms of weight, strength, shock absorbability and feel. Experiments show that golf clubs made of carbon fiber composites are not only light in weight, steel and toughness, but also light in weight and easy to improve swing speed. This material also helps to develop new design structures and set new dimensions. As the only European company among the eight global producers of carbon fiber materials for sports products, SGL Group has established a partnership with the Institute of Sports Equipment in Berlin, Germany, with a desire to further expand and deepen its links with sport. With a thorough understanding of raw materials and expertise accumulated over the years in high temperature technology and engineering and applications, SGL's carbon fiber fabrics and pre-impregnated materials guarantee the stable performance of professional sports equipment. Porsche, for example, uses SGL's carbon fiber-reinforced silicon carbide, a high-performance brake pad, and ScottsPARKLTD mountain bikes for professional marathons and cross-country races, using carbon-ceramic brake pads from the company.
    as the main sponsor of the German cycling team for the Beijing Olympic Games, SGL provides the team with high-performance racing carbon fiber composite products to ensure the best results for the athletes. The carbon fiber market is still in its infancy, and in addition to being used in next-generation aircraft and wind turbines, there will be unlimited room for development in the automotive, consumer and defense industries. Demand for carbon graphite products is growing rapidly in various industries as energy and raw material shortages increase. These products began to gradually replace traditional materials, in addition to a large number of sporting goods, SGL carbon materials and products also appear in steel, automotive manufacturing, chemical, aerospace, defense industry and many other fields, in people's lives play an increasingly important role. 2008 was SGL Group's 10th year in the Chinese market. It is reported that SGL Group, which has a complete production line from carbon graphite products to carbon fiber, and carbon composites, will vigorously expand the Chinese market, while "discovering carbon" as the theme, to introduce to the public "carbon in motion", "carbon in the car", "carbon in space", "carbon in energy", and "carbon in the steel industry" and other future materials in various fields of application.
