In the early morning of August 21, Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport welcomed a triumphant moment. More than 30 Guangdong athletes who participated in the 33rd Summer Olympic Games (hereinafter referred to as the "Paris Olympics") arrived in Guangzhou by flight after attending the summary meeting of the Chinese sports delegation of the Paris Olympics held in Beijing the day before. The Guangdong athletes finally returned to their hometown after competing in the Paris Olympics.
In the Paris Olympics, a total of 38 athletes from Guangdong were selected for the Chinese sports delegation, accounting for about 9.4% of the total number of athletes in the delegation. In the end, Guangdong athletes won 8 gold, 4 silver and 4 bronze medals, helping the Chinese sports delegation to achieve historical success. The number of champions of the Guangdong delegation also created history, and achieved breakthroughs in many events. The gold medal contribution rate ranked first among all provinces and cities in the country, achieving the goal of "striving to be at the forefront of the country and making more contributions to the country".
At 3 a.m. that day, the flight that the athletes took landed at Baiyun International Airport. Led by Cui Jian, Deputy Secretary-General of the Chinese Sports Delegation and Director of the Guangdong Provincial Sports Bureau, more than 30 Guangdong athletes were warmly welcomed by the Guangdong Provincial Sports Bureau and the staff of various training centers. The Olympic athletes said that General Secretary Xi Jinping's speech when meeting with the Chinese Sports Delegation was inspiring, and they will strive to create new achievements in the 15th National Games (hereinafter referred to as the "15th Games") with greater enthusiasm and enthusiasm in the future.
Xie Siyi, who achieved the Grand Slam in the men's 3-meter springboard diving event at the Tokyo Olympics and successfully defended his title in the men's 3-meter springboard event at this Olympics, said that General Secretary Xi Jinping's speech was inspiring and injected strong spiritual strength into his future sports career. "In the future, I will keep the General Secretary's earnest instructions in mind, quickly adjust my physical condition in subsequent training and competitions, continue to strive for Guangdong's tenacious sports spirit, and make better preparations for the 15th National Games next year."
Twin sisters Wang Liuyi and Wang Qianyi, who won two gold medals in synchronized swimming team and duet events at this Olympics, said that being received and encouraged by General Secretary Xi Jinping was a great encouragement to them. "My sister and I are honored to contribute to the sports cause of our motherland with our own humble efforts," said Wang Qianyi. Looking forward to the upcoming 15th National Games, the sisters are full of expectations, "I believe that our Guangdong athletes will be able to perform better in the 15th National Games under the witness of our hometown elders."
In this Olympics, the Chinese women's hockey team won the silver medal, tying the best result of the Chinese sports delegation in this event. Zhong Jiaqi, the Guangzhou-born forward of the team, said that General Secretary Xi Jinping's speech was a great affirmation and encouragement to the team, "and it also brought all the team members together to fight hard on the field with a higher fighting spirit."
When summarizing the performance of Guangdong athletes in this Olympics, Cui Jian once said that the good results achieved by Guangdong Sports this time are the result of a process of accumulation and development, and the dedication and efforts of generations of sports people. The preparation time for the Paris Olympic cycle is only three years. The various training centers have done a lot of work according to the overall plan of the State Sports General Administration's preparations. In addition to sending outstanding athletes to the national team, they have also provided sufficient guarantees. Behind the results are the efforts of coaches and medical personnel, as well as the guarantee capabilities and levels of each base. In addition, there are encouragement and good suggestions from veteran athletes. "More importantly, the prosperity of the country will lead to the prosperity of sports. The reason why we have achieved such excellent results in international competitions is that China's great power style and influence provide the strongest support for our display and performance on the Olympic platform."
