Yan'an University Gymnasium (Professional Group) and Baoji City Gymnasium (Mass Project Group) in Yan'an City, Shaanxi Province
"FourteenTh National Games" refers to the Fourteenth National Games.
The National Games are the highest level and largest comprehensive games in China.
The competition items of the National Games are basically the same as those of the Olympic Games except for martial arts, and their original intention is to train new talents and select talents for the national Olympic strategy.
The National Games are held every four years, usually around the Olympic Games.
The 14th National Games closed on September 27, 2021, with more than 12,000 athletes participating in competitive events and more than 10,000 mass athletes participating in mass events.
Professional group of the 14th Games
Among them, the table tennis competition was held in the gymnasium of Yan'an University, with a total of 189 athletes from 23 teams from all provinces, autonomous regions, municipalities directly under the central government, as well as the Hong Kong and Macao Special Administrative Regions participating. The contest runs from September 21 to 26, 2021.
The Gymnasium of Yan'an University is located in the Yan'an University District, Yan'an New District.
It belongs to the Class B gymnasium, with a total construction area of 27520.55 square meters, a gymnasium construction area of 20014.53 square meters, and the number of seats is 4060.
The National Games have a special meaning, because the athletes who win the singles championship directly pass the World Table Tennis Championships, so everyone will give their all and take advantage of this opportunity.
Mass events of the 14th Games
Under the background of deepening reform in the field of sports, the 2017 Tianjin National Games launched 7 reform measures, including the establishment of 19 mass competitions, writing a splendid chapter of "National Transport Benefiting the People and Healthy China".
The mass events of the National Games were set up by the State General Administration of Sport to further promote the fitness of the whole people.
Following the first mass event activities set up at the 13th Games in 2017, the 14th Games continued to set up mass events to give more people the opportunity to contact large-scale sports events and create "sports stars" around the people.
In the mass event activities that have been completed, a total of 766 teams and more than 6,800 people from all over the country participated.
According to the schedule arrangement, in the mass events of the 14th Games, except for the 8 finals of the 8 projects undertaken by the host, all the preliminaries and 11 finals of the remaining projects are held throughout the country through the form of bidding, and the national mobilization is truly realized.
Among them, the table tennis competition is held in baoji city gymnasium.
The table tennis competition was divided into two groups of 14 events, the mass group and the public security police group, and 383 athletes from 58 representative teams, including Beijing Municipality, Tianjin Sanshang Food Team, Hebei Galaxy, China Locomotive Sports Association, Xinjiang Corps Avant-garde and Shaanxi Province and Shaanxi Province, Shaanxi Avant-garde, participated in the competition.
The mass table tennis competition of this National Games not only has many projects, involving a total of 14 competition items, but also specially adds the 70-year-old and above group, so that the majority of rare table tennis enthusiasts can also have the opportunity to walk on the field of the National Games.
This has played a leading and exemplary role in promoting the participation of the elderly in table tennis.
At the same time, it also shows that today's mass event system and event guarantee have been developed.
Through the development of the national fitness cause, more elderly people have stronger physical fitness, have enough ability and confidence to participate in large-scale events, and harvest good results.
Compared with the past, the mass events of the 14th Games have also carried out many reforms, such as the selection of square dance, broadcast gymnastics, fitness qigong, tai chi and other four projects that are highly popular among the grass-roots fitness masses and are popular with everyone as exhibition and performance projects.
The exhibition project does not have gold, silver and bronze medals, but rewards in the form of "grade", with 1 first prize, 3 second prizes and 4 third prizes, and award certificates and medals. In this way, more people will participate and practice the concept of "all people's transportation".
For example, the collective projects in the mass event activities adopt the formation of teams by units below the county level, with the purpose of truly reflecting the level of the grass-roots level and the characteristics of the grass-roots level, rather than the way of "pinching the tip" at the municipal level or even the provincial level, so as to avoid the mass event activities of the National Games becoming a "game of a few people" and let the people feel the fiery atmosphere of the National Games.
Many participants have reported that they could only watch the National Games in front of the TV and in the audience, but now they have become athletes, which is something that they dare not even think about.
