Xinhua News Agency, Rio de Janeiro, August 20th (Reporter Lu Yuchen, Wang Yong, Zhang Han) Liu Peng, head of the China delegation to the Rio Olympic Games and director of the State Sports General Administration, said on the 20th that the China delegation fully carried forward the Olympic spirit and the Chinese sports spirit.
He said that in the Rio Olympic Games, China athletes won without arrogance and lost with grace, showing a positive and enterprising spirit; It embodies the sportsmanship of obeying the rules, respecting the audience, the referee and the opponent; It shows a civilized, polite, warm and friendly spirit.
"China Women’s Volleyball Team is not afraid of strong players and strives hard in the competition, showing superb sports skills and tenacious will quality, fully inheriting and carrying forward the spirit of China Women’s Volleyball Team of United struggle, tenacious struggle and ever-reaching heights, and perfectly interpreting the Chinese sports spirit and ‘ Faster, higher and stronger ’ The Olympic spirit has greatly inspired the patriotic enthusiasm of people of all ethnic groups in China and greatly enhanced the national self-confidence and pride of Chinese people at home and abroad, "Liu Peng said.
Liu Peng said that at the Rio Olympic Games, China athletes learned from athletes of sports delegations from various countries and regions with an open mind, strengthened friendly exchanges and enhanced mutual friendship. Together, they practiced the Olympic spirit of "Faster, Higher and Stronger" and the Olympic tenet of "Unity, Friendship and Progress", and jointly presented a wonderful Olympic Games to audiences all over the world, making the Olympic venue a big stage for friendly exchanges among people all over the world.
During the Olympic Games, the Chinese Olympic Committee and the China sports delegation also had extensive contacts with various international, national and regional sports organizations, organized and participated in many bilateral and multilateral exchange activities, introduced the development achievements of sports in China, expressed their good wishes of strengthening unity and cooperation and jointly promoting the harmonious development of the Olympic Movement, enhanced mutual understanding and friendship, and played a positive role in expanding the international influence of China sports and enhancing the integration and interaction with the international sports community.
"Up to now, the China sports delegation has basically completed the task of participating in the games that have ended," Liu Peng said. Rio Olympic Games is the ninth summer Olympic Games that China participated in after returning to the Olympic family, and it is also the largest Olympic Games with the largest delegation outside China. The average age of athletes is 24 years old, which is the youngest in the last three Olympic Games.
Liu Peng said that China’s traditional advantages such as table tennis, diving and weightlifting are still the main force for the China delegation to win the gold medal, and some potential advantages such as cycling and men’s taekwondo have made major breakthroughs.
Liu Peng introduced that a historic breakthrough has been made in basic sports track and field, and the number of events and people who won medals and rankings has increased significantly, creating the best results in participating in the Olympic Games. The number of events and athletes in swimming events has increased, and young athletes have undergone great trials and tests. Although some collective ball games failed to achieve better rankings, they basically played their due technical and tactical level, and young athletes have undergone valuable training. Although men’s judo and other events didn’t win the gold medal, their achievements were greatly improved.
In the sports delegation of China, there are 35 Olympic champions, among which 12 Beijing Olympic champions and London Olympic champions won the Rio Olympic champion, three of whom won the Olympic champion for three consecutive years (namely divers Chen Ruolin, Lin Yue and Cao Yuan), and diver Wu Minxia won five Olympic gold medals for four consecutive years.
Liu Peng said that it is even more gratifying that among the athletes who have won the gold medal in the current session of the China Sports Delegation, 13 are young athletes who participated in the Olympic Games for the first time. They have given full play to their best competitive ability and level, demonstrated their good spiritual will and style, and "have become a new force in competitive sports in China".
In summing up the problems and shortcomings, Liu Peng said that although the overall performance of the China sports delegation was basically normal, some projects made major breakthroughs, but also exposed a number of problems.
First, the Rio Olympic cycle has made outstanding achievements in international competitions such as the World Cup and the World Championships, which makes the cognition and judgment biased and underestimates the severe situation and difficulties faced by the Olympic Games. Second, in recent years, the Olympic Games has attracted the attention of more countries and regional governments, and the level of international competitive sports is getting higher and higher, and the competition is more intense. It is not enough for us to deeply understand the rapid development trend of world competitive sports, the new thinking and new trend of training management and the rapid improvement of the level, to make timely judgments, to exchange and learn, to innovate the training concepts and methods of some projects, and to be strict and unrealistic in management measures. Third, the rules of many events in this Olympic Games cycle have undergone major changes, which have had a profound impact on the rules of training and participation. Although we have conducted research and adaptive training in time, from the perspective of the competition process, our understanding is not thorough enough, our grasp is not in place enough, and our response is not appropriate enough. There are some mistakes in the on-the-spot command and response of some projects, some projects have fallen sharply in the competition, and some projects have failed to play their due level. Fourth, in this cycle, most events have been alternated from old to new in a large area, and the proportion of athletes who participated in the Olympic Games for the first time reached 73%. It is insufficient to train and hone young players in different events and objects. There are shortcomings in the work of persistently cultivating and inspiring the sports spirit of all athletes. As a result, some athletes have a tight mentality and too many ideas when facing the difficulties and challenges of fierce competition, and they have not fully demonstrated their high momentum and failed to give full play to their due level.
"We should further reflect on these issues and make a serious summary. Make great efforts to strengthen research and analysis, take practical measures, make scientific planning and layout, and strive to improve and improve, "Liu Peng said.
In this Olympic Games, China swimmer Chen Xinyi had a doping positive event. Liu Peng said that the China Sports Delegation and the Chinese Swimming Association attached great importance to this issue, and they have shown a firm and clear position and attitude. We will continue to adhere to the "three strictness" policy of anti-doping work and the firm attitude of "zero tolerance" for doping problems, constantly improve the working system of education, supervision, inspection and punishment for anti-doping work, and strive to eradicate the occurrence of doping problems from the aspects of improving ideological understanding and improving management system, so as to safeguard the physical and mental health and legitimate rights and interests of athletes and safeguard the fair and just Olympic spirit.
Finally, Liu Peng said that this Olympic Games is an important stage test for the development of competitive sports in China. He will conscientiously sum up the experience and lessons of training, preparation and participation, while fully affirming the achievements, adhere to the problem-oriented, further analyze and solve the difficulties and deficiencies in the development of sports in China, and seriously learn from the advanced concepts and experiences of sports development, sports management and training and participation in other countries and regions. Further explore and grasp the development law of competitive sports, promote national fitness and Olympic counterparts, promote the coordinated development of mass sports and competitive sports, sports undertakings and sports industries, and continuously improve the health level of the broad masses of the people. We will continue to deepen sports exchanges and cooperation with all countries and regions in the world to jointly promote the development of the international Olympic movement.
