Although the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics has not yet officially opened, but the curling competition has officially started, the Chinese team's forward momentum is very strong, it seems that playing at home can indeed stimulate the morale of players. What is even more surprising is that in the torch relay, we saw the long-lost old master of Wei Jizhong.
On February 2, Beijing time, the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Torch Relay opened in Beijing Olympic Forest Park. Many Ningbo media have reported that Wei Jizhong, the No. 005 torchbearer, is a native of Ningbo. Who is Wei Jizhong? People who often pay attention to Chinese sports know that this grandfather has some say in the domestic sports world.
During the Rio Olympic Games, Wei Jizhong was not optimistic about the Chinese women's volleyball team led by Lang Ping to win the championship, which caused a huge controversy, after all, many fans felt that Zhu Ting and others even eliminated the host Brazil, why could not take Serbia? In fact, Wei Jizhong was reducing the pressure on Lang Pingzhong at that time, but unfortunately many people did not understand.
At the Tokyo Olympic Games, the Chinese women's volleyball team, which won the championship and was popular, returned home, and afterwards, the women's volleyball players also admitted that the pressure was too great. Perhaps, if Old Master Wei could sit on the spot to supervise the battle at that time, the women's volleyball team would not lose so badly. Wei Jizhong commented on sun yang, women's volleyball and other events, although it is difficult to accept because of the unique point of view, now look at it, Chinese sports do lack too many professionals like Wei Jizhong who dare to tell the truth and tell the truth.
After reading Wei Jizhong's brilliant resume, everyone will know that Wei Jizhong is a living fossil of Chinese sports after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and his merits can only be truly understood by people who understand, "Knowing that I sin against me and its only Spring and Autumn"! This time, the 86-year-old Wei Jizhong is still energetic, his physique looks great, and he has become one of the double Olympic torchbearers!
Today, Mr. Wei Jizhong still serves as the vice president of the Global Electronic Sports Federation (GEF), the honorary life president of the Olympic Council of Asia, the honorary life president of the International Volleyball Federation and many other positions, and continues to play his residual heat for the development of China's sports industry.
On the Internet, you can see that Ma Long and Wang Hao of the national table tennis also participated in the torch relay, as well as Chen Yufei of the national feather, Yang Qian of the shooting team and others. However, the publicity channels for the torch relay of the Winter Olympics are somewhat narrow, and many people only learned whether their idols participated in the torch relay after the fact, and did not achieve the sensational effect they should have, which is still quite regrettable.
