Recently, the ITTF Athletes' Committee announced a list of 23 candidates, including Liu Shiwen, who is loved by fans. It is reported that there are 10 seats on the committee, and the term of office of the elected is four years, and Liu Shiwen will participate in the ITTF summit in December if she can be elected.
Liu Shiwen's form has been sluggish after losing the mixed doubles gold medal at the Tokyo Olympics, she has not participated in the competition for a long time, and during the preparation for the team competition of the Chengdu World Table Tennis Championships, she and her old partner Xu Xin returned to the team to help her teammates train. Today, Xu Xin is the vice president of the Asian Table Tennis Federation, and Liu Shiwen is also expected to be successfully selected into the ITTF Athletes' Committee to help the national table tennis fight for greater rights and play a greater role, which is undoubtedly a good thing for Xiaojube to continue to embrace the table tennis career she loves, and fans are also happy for her.
However, after all, Liu Shiwen's affairs are only for the cause of table tennis, and at the same time, the Chinese sports scene has ushered in a more exciting news! At the 26th IOC General Assembly, Li Lingwei, Vice President of the Chinese Olympic Committee and member of the IOC, was elected as a member of the IOA Executive Committee. According to the online presentation, the main responsibility of the organization is to safeguard the rights and interests of the National / Regional Olympic Committees in the Olympic Movement, as well as to strengthen the links between the Olympic Committees and with institutions such as international sports organizations, so to speak, the department is important!
The strong symbol of Chinese sports is not only that all sports can flourish and give birth to a group of super-first-class athletes, but also at the management level, it is necessary to cultivate more outstanding sports management talents to take important positions in international sports organizations, so as to highlight the power of Chinese sports and contribute more to the development of world sports. After being elected as an executive committee member of the International Olympic Association, Li Lingwei said that this incident is also a symbol that once again proves the important role of the Chinese Olympic Committee in the Olympic Movement.
Looking back at the various difficulties encountered by Chinese sports in the development of the Olympic Games, such as the failure of the Olympic bid (Beijing lost to Sydney by two votes for the first time in 1993), as well as controversial penalties similar to Xiao Ruoteng and other players, etc., if our people can have a greater say in major international sports organizations, we can win more legitimate interests, and see who dares to bully us? This is also a realistic consideration!
