As a key event of the Chinese delegation, gymnastics has always attracted much attention.

Since the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, the Chinese team has won a total of 29 gold medals in gymnastics, including three times on the men's team podium.

In the early morning of July 30, in the last competition of the men's team gymnastics final at the Paris Olympics, Su Weide fell off the horizontal bar twice and only scored 11.60 points.

The Chinese team was reversed by the Japanese team, and finally the Chinese team lost to the Japanese team with 259.062 points and won the silver medal, while the latter won the gold medal with a total score of 259.594. After the game, Su Weide said at the press conference: "I'm sorry to my teammates."

After the game, related topics also became hot searches and were hotly discussed by netizens.

"Li Xiaoshuang angrily criticized the Chinese gymnastics coaching team"

The biggest problem is the coaching staff.

Today, former Chinese gymnastics team world champion and Olympic champion Li Xiaoshuang expressed his opinion in a live broadcast:“The biggest problem is the coaching staff.I dare to say what others dare not say. "

Li Xiaoshuang said: "There are problems with our coaching team. Don't put all the responsibility on one athlete. If there is a problem with the athlete, it must be the coach's problem. We failed, and we have to tell the truth. Xiao Ruoteng, Zhang Boheng, Su Weide, Liu Yang, and Zou Jingyuan are all good, but we see the existence of the problem. We are too old, and we are not young enough. What is sports? It is youth! We need to change our training and selection methods, and we should pay attention to it."

Xinhua News Agency issued an article:

Losing the men's gymnastics team gold medal at the Paris Olympics is not the fault of one person

According to Xinhua News Agency, before the last round of the horizontal bar competition of the men's gymnastics team finals in the Paris Olympics, most people thought that the Chinese team had a sure win. After 12 years, after the London Olympics, people finally saw the dazzling dawn again. In the dim light, the Chinese men's team shouted proudly, enjoying the happiness and glory of regaining the men's gymnastics team Olympic championship. However, Su Weide's several mistakes completely shattered everyone's dreams.

Xiao Ruoteng cried. Xiao Ruoteng, who was covered in injuries, had already missed the gold medal in the Tokyo Olympics, and this time he watched the championship slip away from his fingers.

Zou Jingyuan and Liu Yang cried. They were both individual Olympic champions, but they had persevered all the way and constantly improved themselves over the past three years, mainly for this team gold medal.

It’s the time and the situation.Su Weide is not the only one who is responsible for the regret.For example, if the Chinese team had enough outstanding all-around athletes, perhaps Chinese gymnastics would have more choices when determining the roster of participants.

In Zhang Boheng's words, this is a team composed of "the best players in the country". The Chinese men's gymnastics team at the Paris Olympics sent Zou Jingyuan, Zhang Boheng, Liu Yang, Xiao Ruoteng, and Sun Wei, basically retaining the main lineup that won the third place in the men's team at the Tokyo Olympics. The alternate athletes are You Hao, Lan Xingyu, Su Weide, and Shi Cong.

During the men's competition training at the Paris Olympics, veteran Sun Wei accidentally injured his foot, and the Chinese team urgently used a substitute player. This scene seemed like a replay of the London Olympics.On the waiting list, Su Weide's proficiency in events similar to Sun Wei's, including floor exercise, vaulting horse, horizontal bar, etc., is exactly what the Chinese gymnastics team needs for men's team competitions. Unfortunately, Su Weide, who was finally selected, failed to replicate Guo Weiyang's "on-the-spot firefighting" at the London Olympics.

Choices are often accompanied by risks. Looking back three years ago, when the Tokyo Olympic Games roster was released, the Chinese men's gymnastics team also faced a choice: should they send Lin Chaopan, who is experienced but in poor condition, or Zhang Boheng, who lacks international competition experience but is gaining momentum? No matter who they choose, it was a dilemma for the Chinese men's gymnastics team at the time.

After the Rio Olympics suffered a "zero gold medal Waterloo", Luo Chaoyi, then director of the Gymnastics Center, said in an interview with Xinhua News Agency reporters:"Based on the current talent pool of traditional sports schools and sports teams, it is estimated that they can only barely last until 2024."Thanks to the unique dividends of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Chinese gymnastics was still able to enjoy a little warmth during the 2012 London Olympics; by the 2024 Paris Olympics, whether it was coaches, officials or athletes, those familiar figures had already gone one by one.

Objectively speaking, gymnastics is a basic sport that trains flexibility, coordination, and physical fitness, but it is indeed slow to develop, and it is even slower to train all-around athletes. A coach once did the math for a reporter: even for top athletes, it takes at least two months to master a new move; among the six men's events and the four women's events, only the vault is a move, while the others are a combination of multiple moves.

In order to expand the gymnastics population, Chinese gymnasts are trying to break through the barriers between the general public and professionals. Based on the earlier proposed "Happy Gymnastics", the Chinese Gymnastics Level Competition will be launched for the first time in 2021, open to the whole society for registration, and those who meet the requirements can also apply for the title of athlete of the relevant level.

The importance of a team gold medal lies in the fact that it not only represents the competitive ability of the players on the field, but also reflects the comprehensive competitive strength of a country (region).When will gymnastics be able to return to school? How can we get more children to continue on the path of sports competition? How can we train excellent grassroots coaches? How can we better maintain China's voice in the International Gymnastics Federation? ...

There are still too many questions waiting for answers.
