In competitive sports, the age of athletes is also the focus of fans' attention, and now that the media is quite developed, the Internet will expose the news that athletes have changed their age from time to time, so that some athletes are caught in the age storm. Whether the rumors are correct or not is aside, but without exception, it will add a touch of embarrassment to the glamorous performance of the parties. So, how much benefit can changing the age bring to athletes?
In order to achieve good results in competitive sports competitions, physical condition and technical ability are important factors that affect the final result, and of course, there needs to be a certain element of luck. In the competition of the adult group, the physical condition of the athletes has been fixed, the athletes in the year of playing, the age has basically no impact, and the technical ability has basically been practiced to the peak of their own ability, and the competition at this time depends on their respective plays.
In the final of the women's volleyball team at the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, the Chinese women's volleyball team exerted its strength and reversed the victory over the Russian women's volleyball team, which is a classic. On closer examination, the Russian women's volleyball players with Gamowa as the core are also outstanding, but at a certain point, they failed to seize the opportunity and were seized by the Chinese women's volleyball team. Therefore, Gamova burst into tears after the game, which made people sigh.
At that time, the Chinese and Russian women's volleyball team, the strength of the team was at the peak, the age factor of the players did not have much impact, the competition was technical ability, the competition was the mentality, and the competition was play. Whether it's a competitive sport, it's basically the same situation. So, when will the younger age of athletes have a greater impact? This is mainly seen in the youth group competition.
As we all know, athletes in the youth group stage, is in the process of physical growth and steady improvement of technical ability, it is no exaggeration to say that one year is a step, the change is quite fast, and the skills mastered in each year are of course not the same. When an athlete changes his age, it is equivalent to playing small with a big one, and naturally has an advantage in physical conditions and technical ability, and it is easier to achieve good results.
Based on this idea, some people may think of changing their age so that they can get what they want faster. But in fact, the possibility of athletes taking the initiative to change their age is very small, and most of them are still chosen to change their age to achieve certain goals. Once successful, athletes will get supreme glory, but also attract the attention of all parties, and all aspects of the relevant aspects will have great benefits.
However, for the athletes themselves, this glory of success is short-lived, after all, the youth stage is very short, and can even be said to be a flash. When it comes to the adult group, when everyone's physical and technical ability is improved to a stable stage, the advantage gained by playing big and small is gone. If the practice of changing the age is exposed, whether the evidence is conclusive or not, it will bring endless troubles to athletes, and negative emotions will even affect reality.
Changing the age to participate in the competition to get good results, seemingly successful, will actually bring a lot of trouble to the future. In a small way, it is more uncomfortable to always be remembered; in the big way, it is easy to cause problems that violate the spirit of fair participation. In short, changing the age of the competition has both a glamorous side and an awkward moment.
