At this moment when everyone is discussing, the Olympics has become a hot topic, whether it is the excited cheers, or the tense atmosphere, people can't wait to understand the performance of each athlete, as spectators, we are often more nervous than the athlete's family, think about it, whenever a familiar face appears on the TV screen, that kind of anticipation and worry, can really worry people in minutes

We were all deeply moved by Chen Yuxi's performance, her wonderful performances at the Paris Olympics were originally extremely expected, but at the critical moment, that mistake, instantly made all hope come to naught, when she couldn't help but burst into tears after the game, we couldn't help but feel sour in our hearts, I really wanted to rush up to give her a hug, a young girl, carrying the expectations of the country, the pressure before the game has long exceeded our ordinary people's understanding
Think about how old she is, how old is she? It's because of his young age, the pressure he bears is even more unimaginable, which young person doesn't have big dreams and step by step towards the big stage? But the reality is that it is not only the light that shines on the stage, but also the ups and downs and hardships behind every step that no one knows. In our current society, the pressure of athletes is not a trivial matter, especially against strong opponents

And behind all this, who is really paying attention to the psychology of these athletes? We always see them shine in the beautiful arena, but we rarely think that they are more difficult than us, many people when watching the game, often only focus on the results, the results have become the only criterion for evaluating them, who can bear such a lot of pressure? Gold medals, silver medals, bronze medals, these honors seem to be so important, but they overwhelm the athletes, which inevitably makes people reflect on whether we should think about it from a different angle?
And when it comes to this excellent coach Zhou Jihong, although her training methods have established a great reputation among generations of athletes, does training a gold medal mean everything? With intense pressure and high-intensity training, athletes seem to be able to only inlay gold medals, and all other emotions and egos have to be left behind.

In the news report after Chen Yuxi's mistake, the discussion around her seems to have become more and more intense, and the coach has also been pushed to the forefront, in fact, I want to say that behind every gold medal there are countless hardships, if Zhou Jihong's "iron and blood" policy makes athletes put most of their minds on how to cater to this "gold medal" standard, how terrible the anxiety of the ranking can be seen, just like the neighbor's child, everyone hopes that he will be admitted to a good university, But have you ever found that your child's happiness and development are overwhelmed by the pressure you press too hard?
Should we change the concept of sports? The competition is never simply to win, but to explore oneself, enjoy the process, let children release their passion on the field, instead of becoming a frustrated machine for the result, like Chen Yuxi, the tears shed should be free expression, rather than passive acceptance of the result, just imagine, if every athlete can show their true self on the field, how good it would be, the feeling of expecting to be recognized is no longer unbearable, but becomes the motivation for them to fight the field

Recalling the rise of the Chinese team, every gold medal is accompanied by hardships and sweat, remember that time, the performance of the athletes marked the hope of the country, slowly the concept of life changed, the value of the gold medal began to be re-examined, and now, many people began to call for more attention to the physical and mental health of athletes, support them to pursue their true ideals, in the face of the aura of society, athletes should have the freedom to pursue happiness and joy
Speaking of which, it always reminds me of the famous "Liu Xiang" incident, in 2008, everyone had high hopes, Liu Xiang's every step was like walking on the cusp, the shocking loss and the loneliness behind his injury, it was distressing, and the athlete's mental health problems also began to surface, becoming the focus of attention, after experiencing difficult challenges, I realized that victory is not only a gold medal, but also a kind of growth behind it

What we are calling for is not just the gold medal that we say, but to take responsibility for the happiness of the athletes, the environment of high-pressure training should be considered as a factor to be improved, and the real feelings of the athletes need to be listened to, I hope that every year we can see more healthy smiles, not just duels under the slogan of motivation, let us work together, let the athletes let themselves fly on the field and witness their feast!
