Competitive sports are the kings and losers, and the results determine everything?

Recently, an NBA live broadcast platform, during a pause in the third section of the game, the commentator and the host had the following dialogue.

Commentator: Competitive sports are the sports of kings and losers, that is, winning and losing. Now everyone is discussing whether the best player in Europe and the world is a letter brother, the youngest player in Europe has won the championship, whether his talent will rule the league, who will discuss the previous things.

Host: When you win the championship, everything is left behind, and the results determine everything.

Competitive sports are kings and losers, and achievements determine everything, which seems to be inconsistent with the Olympic spirit. Since all sporting activities are an integral part of the Olympic Movement, the principle of participation is the first principle of the Olympic spirit. Whether it is a professional league or an amateur competition, it should embody the Olympic spirit of mutual understanding, friendship, solidarity and fair competition. Both practitioners of sports and participants in sports should spread Olympic culture and carry forward the Olympic spirit. Competition is only part of the Olympic spirit. As the late famous American track and field athlete Jesse Owens said, "In sports, people learn not only about playing, but also about respecting others, living ethics, how to spend their lives, and how to treat their own kind."

"Faster, higher, stronger, more united" is the new motto of the Olympic Games and the goal pursued by the Olympic Movement. The Olympic Peak encourages competition, but it must be competition, but competition must be fair, equal, and just. All victories in accordance with the principle of justice are to be commended, and all acts that are not in accordance with moral norms should be denied. Those behaviors such as match-fixing, black whistles, negative matches, and malicious injuries will not only be spurned by morality and judged by rules, but also punished by law.

It should be noted that competition will win or lose, and sports may also bring injuries, which is part of competitive sports. Whether it is training or competition, losing or winning, including the fight against injuries, it is the pursuit of the goal of "faster, higher, stronger and more united". The sportsmanship condensed in the pursuit process will go beyond sports itself, so that people can be encouraged and inspired while watching wonderful games, and while enjoying the sensory stimulation, they will obtain spiritual sustenance and the strength to forge ahead. Coubertin, the founder of the modern Olympic movement, pointed out in a speech: "Remember this sonorous and powerful quote. This argument can be extended to many areas. What is important in life is not victory but battle. These maxims are propagated in order to make human beings more robust— and thus to make them more rigorous and prudent and courageous. ”

It should also be noted that the Olympic spirit is recognized by the world because it embodies the common pursuit of mankind. However, different countries and different peoples will have different interpretations, thus conveying different value orientations. Different individuals will also have different preferences, reflecting people's diverse and personalized pursuits. There's nothing wrong with that. As a host and commentator, you can also have your own preferences, but as long as you sit on that chair, you should temporarily put aside your personal preferences, objectively and fairly convey the sportsmanship that is in line with the sportsmanship advocated by our country and the nation, so that everyone knows that competitive sports must have the courage to win or lose, and not only win or lose.

The Beijing Winter Olympic Games are about to open, inheriting, carrying forward and publicizing the Olympic spirit, sports people should set a good example, and cannot be blinded by commercialization.
