In 2022, the Beijing Winter Olympics are the protagonists
In a few hours, 2021 will come to an end. Looking back, this is a year of emotion, affected by the epidemic, the pace of time has felt faster; this is an exciting year, the Chinese delegation at the Tokyo Olympic Games has achieved more than expected results; this is a year full of expectations, the Beijing Winter Olympics are finally in sight.
2021 is coming to an end, 2022 is coming, and Chinese sports are also very likely to usher in a watershed in this new year - the reform of the association system affected by the epidemic and the double impact of the Olympic Games may really usher in the moment of real implementation. Although the marketization and industrialization of Chinese sports are difficult, they are still moving forward. whereas
Snooker has become one of the breakthrough points for Chinese professional players
Looking back at the upcoming 2021, Xinhua News Agency, People's Daily and China Sports News have launched their own annual top ten sports news in the past few days, and the Beijing Winter Olympics and the Tokyo Olympic Games as a natural "top priority" can be said to be expected by everyone, but there is a phenomenon that may be inadvertently ignored by many people, but it just sends a positive signal, that is, the selection of non-Olympic projects and young athletes "preference".
The tenth article of the top ten domestic sports news jointly evaluated by China Sports News and People's Daily Sports is: Young players perform well. Its specific description is: "On January 17, local time, 20-year-old Yan Bingtao won the snooker Masters in the United Kingdom (pictured), becoming the first post-00s champion in the history of snooker's "three major competitions" (World Championships, British Championships, Masters). On December 5, local time, 24-year-old Zhao Xintong won the championship at the Snooker Championship held in the United Kingdom. On November 16, Beijing time, Formula One (F1) Alfa Romeo Team announced that 22-year-old Chinese driver Zhou Guanyu officially joined the team, becoming China's first World Formula 1 driver, and he will compete as a regular driver in the 2022 season. ”
Zhou Guanyu, the first Chinese driver in Formula 1
Prior to this, the tenth of the top ten domestic sports news of the year rated by the sports department of Xinhua News Agency was that Zhou Guanyu became China's first official F1 driver. The description is even more concise: "On November 16, Alfa Romeo announced that Chinese driver Zhou Guanyu has officially joined the team and will compete as a regular driver in the 2022 Formula One (F1) Championship. Zhou Guanyu became China's first official F1 driver. ”
It is clearly not just a coincidence that the three state media outlets have focused on non-Olympic events in the Olympic year. As we all know, neither racing nor snooker can be said to be China's traditional advantage projects, and these two sports are precisely highly professional sports, of which F1 racing is known as the "crown jewel". But it is in these two sports, in the past 2021, we have seen Zhou Guanyu, who is about to appear on the F1 stage, and Yan Bingtao and Zhao Xintong, who won the three major snooker competitions in the world. The common way these three young players grow and become talents is the support of the family and the efforts of individuals, rather than the "national system" of the mainstream of Chinese sports. Therefore, from this point of view, the success of these three people not only has a very practical significance for themselves, and the efforts are rewarded, but more importantly, it is to send such a signal to the society: the realization of sports goals can be supported by the state, but also by social support, family investment, or even just individual efforts. In the future, the cultivation of sports talents will be more social and more diversified.
Zhao Xintong became famous in one battle
Entering 2022, Yan Bingtao will usher in his master title defense journey on January 9. From April 16, Yan Bingtao and Zhao Xintong will also join forces to launch an attack on the world championship. According to the plan, the two will also return to China in May for a series of performances, starting their own journey of gratitude and gratitude to the Chinese TV fans who have quietly supported them under the epidemic in the past two years. Zhou Guanyu's F1 road will officially open in Bahrain on March 18 and show the world China's speed in 23 games over an eight-month period.
Sport is diverse, and the Olympic Games are certainly important, but non-Olympic sports are just as exciting. Chinese sports have both the continuous glory that began with the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games, and the continuous spirit that began with the Chinese women's volleyball team winning the championship in 1981, and now there are non-Olympic sports such as F1 and snooker that bring us unlimited imagination space. Yan Bingtao, Zhao Xintong, Zhou Guanyu, three young athletes who have become the protagonists of the annual sports news of the official media, actually send us a positive signal - youth is invincible, sports have unlimited possibilities!

In 2022, let's look forward to how much better everything will be for you, your family, your friends, and everyone around you!
