A few days ago, the Chinese badminton team has completed the open competition for the coaching staff of the national team in the 2024 Paris Olympic Cycle at the Chengdu Shuangliu Training Base, and in the end, which 8 coaches were successfully selected, I believe everyone will soon know. But surprisingly, as a champion of the Chinese sports world, only 10 coaches participated in the 8 positions of the competition, which also surprised Zhang Jun, chairman of the Chinese Badminton Association, who bluntly said "it is a pity" in an interview! Why aren't more local coaches in this competition? Is the coaching level not good? Or is the salary condition not enough? Or are they not optimistic about the prospects of the Olympic cycle in Paris, and have chosen to avoid it?
The Chinese badminton team is known as the "cradle of champions", from here, lin Dan, Zhang Ning, Chen Long, Li Xuerui and many other Olympic champions have come out, and the world champions are countless. At the 2021 London Olympic Games, they won gold medals in all sports, creating an era of Badminton in China. Under the strategizing of meritorious coachEs li yongbo, Tang Xianhu and others, Guo Yu has produced talents in various individual items. Lin Dan in the men's singles, Zhang Ning and Xie Xingfang in the women's singles, Cai Yun and Fu Haifeng in the men's doubles, Yang Wei and Zhang Jiewen in the women's doubles, and Zhang Jun and Gao Ling in the mixed doubles, all successfully won gold in the Olympic games.
After the London Olympics, the competitiveness of the national feathers declined sharply, and the veteran coach Li Yongbo had to "leave the class" in the controversy. But after Li Yongbo left, did Guo Yu's mental outlook and achievements look new? In the Rio Olympics, although the Chinese team won two gold medals, the trend of the veteran's strength declining and the talent break has been irreversible. At the Tokyo Olympics, Kuniyu reached the final in all five individual events, and finally won the gold medal in the women's singles and mixed doubles. After the Sudirman Cup, Uber Cup and other team competitions, the team once again stood on the highest podium.
Winning the championship in many international top competitions also announced the return of the national feather to the top of the world. In the Paris Olympic cycle, the team has an advantage in the women's singles, women's doubles and mixed doubles events, and it is also the main gold point, and the more difficult is the men's singles and men's doubles. In this competition, since the women's doubles will continue to be coached by South Korean coach Kang Kyung-jin, the 10 coaches are actually competing in the other four individual events. However, there are only 10 candidates for 8 positions, which is beyond the expectations of many people, and it also reflects the huge loopholes in the coaching reserve and training of Guoyu from the side.
It is worth mentioning that Qiao Bin, the husband of Olympic champion Li Xuerui, is the only post-90s coach in this competition. If he can be successfully elected, the pace of training young coaches will be further accelerated. Previously, the salary of South Korean coach Jiang Jingzhen was exposed by the media, and the income of nearly 6 million yuan in three years was called the ceiling level of the national feather coach. Some fans speculate that the biggest reason why the enthusiasm of local coaches in this competition is not high may be that the results and salaries are not proportional, resulting in many coaches not daring to take over. What do you think about that?
