On August 6, the Paris Olympics was still in full swing, and it was the 11th day of competition. The Chinese sports delegation also held a press conference at China House to introduce and evaluate the overall situation of the delegation in the early stage of the competition, and also affirmed the sportsmanship shown by Chinese athletes.
The competition in the Olympics is extremely fierce, and athletes are under tremendous pressure. The error rate is often higher than in other competitions, and winning or losing is normal. Zhou Jinqiang, deputy director of the General Administration of Sport of China, took gymnastics as an example, "In the women's balance beam and men's horizontal bar finals held yesterday, the athletes who were able to enter the finals were all world-class players who had undergone long-term and hard training, but a large number of athletes made mistakes to varying degrees, such as falling off the beam, or other mistakes. Therefore, I also call for kind understanding and tolerance for athletes who made mistakes or failed to achieve expected results in the Olympic Games."
Zhou Jinqiang emphasized that achieving both athletic achievements and spiritual civilization is the goal of the Chinese sports delegation. "Today I want to focus on my feelings about the patriotism and hard-working spirit shown by the athletes on the field, which are also the two most core aspects of the Chinese sports spirit. Winning glory for the country is the most distinctive background and the most persistent pursuit of Chinese sports."
During the Paris Olympics, athletes naturally showed and expressed their love for the motherland at all times and in every detail. Whether it was the athletes' confidence and pride in showing the national flag after winning medals, or their natural reaction to the fact that the flag could not be signed and had to be placed gently, or the words "national honor always exceeds personal honor" and "for my motherland, I can still fight for another three hours", as well as the high-pitched national anthem that sounded in the stadium every time the national flag was raised and the national anthem was played, "these not only concentratedly demonstrated the patriotic feelings that Chinese athletes have cultivated over a long period of time, but also vividly patriotic education time and time again."
In addition, the Chinese delegation believes that during the Paris Olympics, Chinese athletes fully demonstrated the tenacious fighting spirit of the young generation of China. For example, Zhang Boheng participated in 18 individual events in a row in the team preliminaries, finals and individual all-around competitions, and the whole network felt distressed. Zhang Yufei had a fever before the women's 200-meter butterfly final, but she still gritted her teeth and insisted on completing the competition and won the bronze medal in the women's 200-meter butterfly. There are also some events where the competitive level is still behind that of foreign players and the results are not very outstanding. "But our athletes are not afraid of hardship or fatigue. They compete with their opponents and themselves, strive for better results, and complete the competition silently. Their tenacious fighting spirit is also worthy of praise." Zhou Jinqiang said.
The Chinese sports delegation consists of 716 people and 42 participating teams, which is a large-scale operation. Zhou Jinqiang revealed that during the competition, the delegation kept a close eye on the core work of the athletes' participation, did a good job in management and service, held team leaders' meetings in a timely manner for key events and key matches, solved difficult problems, and carried out ideological mobilization; they also solved ideological confusion through small-scale, one-on-one talks and other methods, and provided solid support and guarantee for the sports teams' participation.
Competitive sports are a competition of hard power, and also a test of willpower, ideals and beliefs. Zhou Jinqiang gave an example, before the competition, the group leaders had a heart-to-heart talk with all the members of the race walking team, comprehensively analyzed the competition situation, studied and arranged tactics, and strengthened the confidence of athletes and coaches in winning gold and the belief in victory. During the competition, the athletes anchored the gold medal goal and did not waver, played steadily, and won the Olympic gold medal in women's race walking again after 8 years.
The women's volleyball team is a banner of Chinese sports. The leaders of the delegation had heart-to-heart talks with the head coach and team leader, studied the competition plan together, analyzed the match situation, boosted morale and confidence. During the competition, the Chinese women's volleyball team was united, united, and fought hard to win. At present, they have won all three group matches and entered the quarterfinals. In the Olympic arena, they once again demonstrated the spirit of the women's volleyball team of "the motherland is supreme, unity and cooperation, hard work, and never give up"
The Olympic Games is not only the biggest stage for athletes around the world to realize their dreams, but also an important platform for promoting cultural exchanges among countries and regions. Zhou Jinqiang said that on the field, Chinese athletes interacted cordially with athletes from other countries and regions, leaving behind many good stories; badminton player He Bingjiao held the badge of the Spanish Olympic Committee during the award ceremony to express her regret and reluctance for Marin's withdrawal, which won praise from foreign media. Outside the field, we set up the "China House" for the Paris Olympics. IOC President Bach, leaders of international single-sport federations and sports figures from various countries and regions visited one after another.
There are still six days left in the Paris Olympics. The Chinese sports delegation will participate in 90 events and will continue to compete for medals in diving, weightlifting, table tennis, track and field, synchronized swimming, canoeing, track cycling, boxing, taekwondo, wrestling, rock climbing, break dancing and other events. Zhou Jinqiang said: "The upcoming competitions are full of competition and challenges. We will continue to sum up experience, do our best to provide command management and service support, maintain high morale and belief in victory, and strive to achieve both sports achievements and spiritual civilization, and submit a satisfactory answer to the people of the country."
