The 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics women's big jump champion was released, and Gu Ailing from China won the gold medal, and her origin has attracted the attention of sports fans at home and abroad. Some foreign netizens believe that Gu Ailing has lived, studied and trained in San Francisco since she was a child, and she returned to her motherland at the age of 16 to start representing China. When asked about his nationality, Gu Ailing thanked China and the United States, thanked the Chinese team and the American team, and sports and nationality did not need to be linked. Everyone comes here in the hope that they can continue to expand the limits of human beings.
In fact, many "sports competition brothers" do not fully understand this industry. Since the beginning of the 20th century, in order to rapidly improve the performance of individual sports, some countries have invited foreign players to change their nationality to join and help new countries complete breakthroughs in sports performance. With the increasing number of naturalized players, the rules of each sports have been adjusted, so that naturalized players can truly understand the new country and show the culture of the new country, not just the results.
For example, in football, according to FIFA regulations, naturalized players must reside in the new country for five consecutive years and have not previously represented other countries in the senior team's A-level competition. Today's internationally renowned naturalized players include Camoranesi, Vieira, De Costa and other players, who have changed their nationality to represent the new country. China also began to introduce naturalized players such as Axon, Luo Guofu, Jiang Guangtai, Alain, Fernando and so on in 2019, although the effect was not very obvious, but it prevented the rapid decline of Chinese football.
Of course, in addition to meeting the conditions for naturalization, the relevant organizations need to contact the player's original country and confirm that there is no problem with the nationality and membership of the other party before they can transfer to the new country. Therefore, Gu Ailing's naturalization process needs to be confirmed by The American ski-related organization before it can complete the membership in China. That is to say, in view of the fact that China does not recognize "dual nationality", and Gu Ailing is unlikely to have a "dual nationality" situation after the "transfer" is successful.
As the saying goes: "People are afraid of being famous pigs are afraid of being strong." Gu Ailing grew up living in foreign countries, but returned to his homeland after the age of 16, and now after winning the gold medal, he has been criticized. However, she said at the press conference that she was very grateful to the United States and the American team, China and the Chinese team. She believed that sport and nationality did not need to be linked. Everyone came to the Winter Olympics in the hope that they could continue to expand the limits of human beings. And this is the pattern of the Winter Olympic champion, the future can be expected Gu Ailing.
