2021, what everyone calls the big year of sports, that is, the Olympic year. In such a special period, competitive sports make us feel the strength and warmth, and Chinese athletes work tenaciously and achieve good results. Up to 5 years of Olympic preparation cycle, veterans did not give up easily, newcomers fully seized the opportunity, everyone together wrote a beautiful chapter belonging to Chinese sports, and the wonderful continues.
Veterans continue their dreams, constantly break through themselves, and create brilliance again
The Olympic preparation cycle has changed from 4 years to 5 years, the veterans interpret the spirit of never giving up with practical actions, they still have dreams in their hearts, they always love the sports they are engaged in, and they are tenacious Chinese. The 33-year-old Malone, who has been on the Olympic stage again after suffering a serious injury, is defending his men's singles title and achieving a double grand slam. Malone turned what seemed impossible into reality, and what was even more valuable was that he still wouldn't stop moving forward.
Su Bingtian, 32, was the first Chinese to stand on the Olympic 100-meter final track, and 9.83 seconds is one of the most shining symbols of this era. Gong Lijiao, also 32 years old, shouted in Tokyo: China, cattle! The shot put she threw drew a beautiful arc, which shocked the European and American players and made us understand that this is the meaning of persistence. Weightlifting represents strength and upward mobility, and 37-year-old Lu Xiaojun perfectly interpreted the two and left a signature smile. Do you remember? The referee chased after our "god of war" to sign.
There is also 30-year-old Shi Tingmao and 30-year-old Wang Han, two veterans who led the Chinese diving team to move forward bravely and play the strongest movement of the dream team, the champion belongs to us, and the future also belongs to us. The 35-year-old Pang Wei left the Tokyo Olympics with a smile and tears, more important than the gold medal, he passed that calm and self-confidence to the new generation, and the Chinese shooting team officially completed the replacement of the old and the new.
Of course, there are also a few veterans who have left regrets. The 31-year-old Xu Xin and the 30-year-old Liu Shiwen failed to win the first table tennis mixed doubles gold medal in Olympic history, the tearful Liu Shiwen was distressed, and Liu Shiwen, who did not participate in the women's team competition, broke the hearts of the fans, but Liu Shiwen still left the most beautiful smile for everyone and then went back on the road. The Chinese women's volleyball team failed to reach the podium in Tokyo, and the 34-year-old Yan Ni retired with a hint of regret. The 32-year-old Dong Dong ended his Olympic career with a silver medal on a trampoline, the 32-year-old Chen Long failed to defend his title, and Wang Zheng, Liu Hong and others, just one step away from the gold medal, turned away, and indeed did not want to. But don't we often say that regret is also a kind of beauty? As long as you do your best, as long as you exert your full strength, this regret is indeed very beautiful.
New stars are emerging, shining brightly, and the future can be expected
Generation after generation of self-breakthroughs has made Chinese sports continue to grow stronger. Veterans are role models, and newcomers represent the future. Ma Long, Lü Xiaojun, Shi Tingmao and others continued to shine, and at the same time handed over the baton to the master and sister.
The 21-year-old Yang Qian was crowned a double champion in her first Olympic Games, and Zhang Yufei led Yang Junxuan, Tang Muhan and Li Bingjie to show the power of Chinese youth and break the world record the moment we burst into tears. Quan Hong Chan broke through herself with three full scores, she was only 14 years old. Sun Yingsha became the first post-00s Olympic champion in the history of national table tennis, and her era has just begun.
There are also Guan Chenchen, Li Wenwen, Zhang Changhong, Chen Yufei and other new generation of athletes to pick up the beams, the Olympic champion is a lifelong pursuit of honors, and for them, the Olympic champion also means a new beginning. In the 5-year Olympic cycle, young athletes overtake in curves, they dare to compete with veterans, and constantly break through themselves. In this process, most of the Chinese teams have completed the replacement of the old and the new, Ma Long, Xu Xin and Fan Zhendong together on the podium, Liu Shiwen in the stands to cheer for the sister, this is the strength of unity.
Successful replacement of the old and the new is inseparable from unity, veterans set an example, new people take the veteran as the goal, break through themselves, everyone inspires each other, and finally let China's sports industry climb to a higher level.
2021 report card, don't forget that there are also disabled athletes who moved us and even wept.
At the Tokyo Olympics, the Chinese delegation won 38 gold medals, 32 silver medals and 18 bronze medals, ranking second in the gold medal table and medal table.
At the Tokyo Paralympic Games, the Chinese delegation won 96 gold medals, 60 silver medals and 51 bronze medals, ranking first in the gold medal table and medal table, and ranking first in five consecutive Paralympic Games.

Safety first in 2021, thanks to the leaders, coaches and logistics support personnel who have paid silently
In 2021, epidemic prevention is still the top priority, whether it is training or going abroad to participate, we will face more difficulties and challenges. In the end, the state has created a safe preparation environment and competition environment for athletes, and it can be said that there is no worries. Many athletes will thank our great motherland in interviews after the game, and behind the good results are many people who are silently paying.
Taking the national table tennis as an example, in order to ensure safety, leaders and logistics personnel should coordinate and communicate in advance, and formulate a comprehensive plan, which can allow the team members to immediately enter the preparation and competition rhythm, both to ensure safety and efficient operation, most of the logistics support personnel and athletes, long away from their families, they will not become the focus of the camera, but they are the most lovely people.
Remember that Lang Ping once said that the biggest test for athletes for a long period of closed training is the psychological state, at this time, coaches need to play a role to help athletes solve problems. In addition to normal technical and tactical training, coaches also add psychological counseling courses in private, they help athletes share the pressure, and even carry all the pressure on their shoulders, and when the disciples win the gold medal, they silently retreat to the side, so that the disciples become the focus of the whole field. This is the selfless dedication of Chinese coaches, you have worked hard!
In 2021, the preparations for the Winter Olympics have come to an end, and the Beijing Winter Olympics are expected to be exciting
Chinese athletes competed for gold and silver at the Tokyo Olympics, and preparations for the Beijing Winter Olympics came to an end. As the city of the Two Olympics, Beijing once again amazes the world. This preparation is not only for the smooth hosting of the Winter Olympics, but also for the advancement of China's ice and snow sports. Compared with before, the enthusiasm of ordinary Chinese people to participate in ice and snow projects has been greatly enhanced, and the sustainable use of Winter Olympic venues has been relied on. The IOC has once again given a thumbs up to Beijing and China, and China will surely present a wonderful Winter Olympic feast.
At the same time, Chinese ice and snow athletes are stepping up their preparations, and some athletes who are capable of competing for gold medals at the Winter Olympics have emerged. Wu Dajing and Ren Ziwei, who are short-track speed skaters, Ning Zhongyan and Gao Tingyu, who are still chasing their dreams, and Han Cong and Sui Wenjing, who are still chasing their dreams. 18-year-old Gu Ailing is expected to fill many gaps, Xu Mengtao, Cai Xuetong, Qi Guangpu, Jia Zongyang and other athletes are expected to realize their dreams at their doorstep.
Just like Beijing in 2008, Beijing in 2022 will not disappoint everyone.
The results of the non-Austrian projects are gratifying, new people continue to emerge, and veterans are no longer alone
Speaking of non-Olympic projects, snooker should be one of the representatives of 2021, at the beginning of the year, Yan Bingtao won the Masters championship, and at the end of the year, Zhao Xintong was crowned the British Champion, and there were two more young Chinese champions in the three competitions. In the past, when mentioning snooker, everyone first thought of Ding Junhui, and now, Ding Junhui is still chasing his dreams, but he is no longer in a state of fighting alone, Yan Bingtao, Zhao Xintong, and young people who have just stepped onto the professional stage are Ding Junhui's comrades-in-arms, and China's snooker is making great strides forward.
In addition, Zhou Guanyu won the third place in F2 and officially opened his F1 career next season, which is a breakthrough and a surprise, in the field of racing, Chinese can also occupy a place.
Sport is not just about competing for gold and silver, ordinary people can also participate in it
Competitive sports is not only about winning gold and silver, physical exercise can also strengthen the body, as ordinary people, we can also participate in it, enjoy the fun of sports, and enhance physical fitness through sports. In 2021, the national fitness plan is being deepened, more and more sports venues are open to the general public, and Olympic athletes will also enter the campus and enter the society, calling on ordinary people to participate in it, and the sports power will blossom in an all-round way.
We firmly believe that after the successful holding of the Beijing Winter Olympics, more ordinary people will devote themselves to sports, sports can make us healthier and stronger, and with a healthy body, we can better devote ourselves to social construction and contribute to the development of the country!
Finally, I would like to thank every Chinese athlete who has worked hard, and thank you to the coaches, logistics support personnel and ordinary people who have paid silent attention to the cause of Chinese sports. The brilliant year of 2021 is about to pass, and I believe that in the upcoming 2022, Chinese sports will continue to bloom dazzling and once again create achievements that amaze the world. At the same time, in terms of fair competition, Chinese sports people have always been at the forefront, and I believe we will continue to maintain it. In the future, we are more confident!
