The gold medal list is messed up again! The Chinese Legion is blooming, and the gold medal feast shocks the world!
When the numbers fade from the gold medal table, what are we left with?
On the ninth day of the Paris Olympic Games, the Chinese army once again used its strength to add color to the national flag, and the numbers on the gold medal list beat with the hard work of the athletes. Three gold, three silver and two bronze, behind this string of dazzling figures, is sweat, tears, but also the sportsmanship of never giving up. When the numbers fade from the gold medal table and the cheers die down, what is left of us?
This question is worth pondering for everyone.
In Chinese sports, there has never been a shortage of "gold medal supremacy" argument. For a long time, the gold medal has been given too many meanings, it symbolizes national honor, national pride, and even is closely linked to national self-confidence. This "gold medal complex" has promoted the continuous development of Chinese sports, but it has also brought some problems.
Do you still remember the expectations of Chinese audiences for shooting athlete Yang Qian at the Tokyo Olympics? The "post-00" youngster withstood the pressure and won the first gold for the Chinese delegation, but was accused by some netizens of "not smiling brightly enough". This excessive pursuit of gold medals has undoubtedly brought a huge psychological burden to athletes.
It is true that the gold medal is a manifestation of the strength of athletes and a symbol of the country's sporting strength. But there's so much more to sport than that. It is also a display of fighting spirit, a process of challenging oneself and surpassing the limit.
Just like in gymnastics, Liu Yang defended the men's rings title, becoming the third legend in history to win two gold medals in this event. This gold medal is not only a proof of his personal strength, but also the best reward for three years of hard training.
In swimming, China's "Golden Generation" broke the world record, ending the United States team's 40-year dominance in the men's 4×100m medley event. This gold medal is not only a collision of speed and passion, but also the best proof that Chinese swimming continues to break through itself.
As IOC President Thomas Bach said, "The beauty of sport is its unpredictability, and you never know what the outcome will be until the last minute." The charm of competitive sports lies in the process of hard work, the courage to challenge oneself, and the belief in never giving up.
Gold medals, of course, are important, but they are not all there is to sports.
In 2022, the State Council issued the "National Fitness Plan (2021-2025)", which clearly stated that it would "promote the high-quality development of the sports industry" and listed "the proportion of people who regularly participate in physical exercise to reach 38.5%" as a development goal. The introduction of this policy marks that China's sports are gradually changing from "gold medal theory" to "national fitness".
How can we really get rid of the "gold medal complex" and return sports to its essence?
It is necessary to change concepts and establish scientific sports values. Gold medals are important, but they are only a part of athletic competition, and what is more important is the process of participating in and enjoying sports, as well as the health and happiness that sports bring.
It is necessary to increase investment in sports, improve the construction of sports infrastructure, and create good conditions for the fitness of the whole people.
It is necessary to strengthen the construction of sports culture, promote the spirit of sports, and make sports a way of life and integrate into everyone's daily life.
Remember that deafening slogan? "Develop sports and enhance people's physique!" This sentence is still of great practical significance today.
When the numbers on the gold medal table fade and the cheers gradually subside, what we hope to see is a healthier, more confident and more energetic China. A sports power must not only have dazzling gold medals, but also hundreds of millions of people who love and enjoy sports.
