The Beijing Winter Olympics came to an end yesterday. Readers who pay attention to the development of Chinese sports know that for a long time, Chinese sports have shown the characteristics of yin and yang. Whether at the Summer Olympics or the Winter Olympics, female athletes won more gold medals and medals than male athletes. And what about this Beijing Winter Olympics?
This time at the doorstep, the Chinese team won 9 gold, 4 silver and 2 bronze, and the male athletes won 5 gold medals (4 singles + two mixed) and 8.5 medals, which exceeded 50% of the number of gold medals and medals contributed by the number of gold medals and medals in a single Winter Olympics for the first time.
At the Summer Olympics, the last time a Chinese team's lads won more gold medals than the girls went back to the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics. This is also the first time that New China has sent a delegation to participate in the Olympic Games. As a result, the Chinese team won 15 gold, 8 silver and 9 bronze medals in the 4th place in the medal table.
Among them, the male athletes of the Chinese team won a total of 10 gold medals, and Li Ning alone won 3 gold medals, 2 silver and 1 bronze in the men's gymnastics event. Female athletes won five gold medals. But more women than men have won gold medals. Because the Chinese women's volleyball team won the first Olympic championship in the history of the team at this Olympic Games.

The Winter Olympics will be even more gloomy and gloomy. At the 1992 Winter Olympics in Albertville, Ye Qiaobo won the first medal (silver) from the Chinese team in the speed skating event. It was not until the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano that Li Jiajun won the runner-up in the men's 1,000 meters in short track speed skating, becoming the first male athlete in the history of the Chinese Winter Olympics to win a medal.
At the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympics, Yang Yang achieved a breakthrough of zero gold medals for the Chinese team. The first gold medal of the Chinese men's team was at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, where Han Xiaopeng won the gold medal in men's aerial skills in freestyle skiing.

Why has there been a long-term situation in the Chinese sports world? This is directly related to the mainland's early competitive sports development policy. In 1995, the National Sports Commission officially issued an action outline aimed at promoting China's competitive sports achievements, namely the Olympic Victory Plan. Someone summed up the policy of the Plan in five words: "small, clever, difficult, female, less" - small ball events, skill projects, difficult projects, women's events and events with a small number of players (by the way, which sport is almost the complete opposite of the principle of "small, clever, difficult, female, and less"?). ）。 Working hard and implementing resources in this direction can make greater and faster breakthroughs in winning Olympic gold medals.
This has directly led to a greater preference for women's events in our national sports system in the allocation of resources. For example, Ning Zhongyan, who participated in the speed skating event at the Winter Olympics, previously served as a sparring partner for Olympic champion Zhang Hong.
In this context, at this Winter Olympics, the Chinese team is no longer yin and yang, but the situation of yin and yang is very gratifying. Chinese male athletes won gold medals in five sub-divisions: short track speed skating, speed skating, figure skating, freestyle skiing and snowboarding. It is hoped that Chinese sports can continue this momentum, which will help broaden the gold point of the Chinese team in the Summer Olympics and Winter Olympics.
