From Zhejiang sports "5 focus"
To sports Zhejiang Army has become the focus of society
In July, zheng yao, director of the Zhejiang Provincial Sports Bureau, flew to Tokyo as deputy secretary-general of the Chinese sports delegation to the Tokyo Olympic Games. He witnessed the birth of 7 gold medals in the Zhejiang Army. In September, as the deputy head of the Zhejiang sports delegation of the 14th National Games, he commanded and supervised the whole process in the front line of the National Games.
Why did Zhejiang "manufacture" gold medals in batches during the Olympic Games and the National Games? In the face of this problem, Zheng Yao, as the "leader" of Zhejiang sports, is undoubtedly the most authoritative "respondent". In this theme news gathering of "Olympic champions starting from 'Zhejiang'", Zheng Yao accepted a collective interview with the media and answered questions one by one.
Plot: The meaning of the "1357" strategy
Zheng Yao believes that the decisive victory in the Tokyo Olympic Games and the Shaanxi National Games are only two victories in the "three major battles" of Zhejiang sports. "Now that it is less than a year before the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games, the third battle at the 'doorstep' must go all out."
The "three major battles" are the general plan. "1357" is a specific goal. Zheng Yao revealed that as early as two years ago, at the 2019 Provincial Winter Training Mobilization Conference, this strategic plan was proposed: the Tokyo Olympic Games "guarantee 1 to compete for 3 to rush 5 wang 7", that is, to ensure 1 gold medal and continue the honor of "there is a gold medal in the Olympic Games"; to strive for 3 gold medals, compared with the last Rio Olympic Games Zhejiang won 2 gold medals to achieve a breakthrough; to impact 5 gold medals, surpassing the Athens Olympic Games, London Olympic Games Zhejiang won the best record of 4 gold; looking forward to 7 gold medals, creating a greater glory in the history of Zhejiang Sports Olympic Games. "Zhejiang athletes have played steadily, dared to fight hard, played well, and reached the expected goal of the highest requirements. Zheng Yao was deeply pleased with this.
Spirit: Race out of the high level, race out of the spirit
From the Tokyo Olympic Games to the Shaanxi National Games, two-front combat, less than two months later, including swimmer Wang Shun won 6 golds in 6 consecutive days to become the most "multi-gold king" in the national games, weightlifter Shi Zhiyong twice surpassed the world record and won the gold strongly, and 17-year-old shooting youngster Wang Zhilin won the championship with a super world record, all of which showed that Yu Yong could be jia and the future could be expected.
Zheng Yao commented in one sentence that Zhejiang's sports soldiers demonstrated the spirit of endless struggle, played a high level, and raced out of spirit. He believes that the post-00 shooting young player Yang Qian, with firm faith, excellent technology, steady play, defeated the opponent at the last moment, successfully won the gold, and showed the spirit of courage to take responsibility and fight a hard battle; Wang Shun won the gold medal with a record-breaking Asian record in the men's 200-meter medley event, breaking the long history of monopoly and domination by European and American athletes, 16-year-old gymnastics player Guan Chenchen, in the face of various challenges and pressures, with a calm attitude, superb skills, bravely won the championship of the women's balance beam project. It embodies the spirit of daring to challenge and climb the peak; weightlifter Shi Zhiyong has demonstrated and interpreted China's strength and Zhejiang strength well in the form of sports, and won gold in two consecutive Olympic Games; badminton players Chen Yufei and Wang Yilu both won gold, carried the banner of the Chinese badminton team, created a new era of Zhejiang badminton winning olympic gold medals, and showed the spirit of courage to work hard and continue to be brilliant. At the same time, he was also moved that during the critical period of preparation for the Olympic Games, swimmer Xu Jiayu gritted his teeth and persevered, winning a heavy Olympic silver medal for the Chinese swimmers; sailing athlete Chen Shasha was a "mother-level" athlete, who resolutely returned to the training ground to fight with the sea when he was only six months after the birth of the child; swimming coach Zhu Zhigen, who was 64 years old and suffered from diabetes, still insisted day after day, bringing out gold medal athletes for three consecutive Olympic Games; gymnastics coach Xu Jinglei for more than ten years. Away from parents and children, giving up the small family, taking care of everyone to struggle on the road, these are the best portrayal of the spirit of adhering to the original intention and being willing to dedicate.
Password: "Five Focuses" bear fruit
From Wu Xiaoxuan winning Zhejiang's first Olympic gold medal in 1984, to Yang Qian's achievement of the youngest post-00s Olympic double gold king in 2021; from Lou Yun winning the men's vaulting championship in gymnastics in 1984 and 1988, to Guan Chenchen, who was only 16 years old, won the Balance Beam Championship at the Tokyo Olympic Games with high difficulty. In 37 years and 10 Olympic Games, Zhejiang competitive sports have achieved leapfrog development from scratch and from weak to strong, and Zheng Yao believes that this is the result of Zhejiang sports focusing on "five focuses" and having the courage to reform and innovate continuously.
Focus on high quality, focus on cultivating and creating a group of world-class athletes. Over the years, Zhejiang has carried out the exploration and practice of jointly building the China (Zhejiang) national swimming team, continuously deepened the mechanism of provincial and ministerial cooperation in jointly building a national sports team, and actively sent outstanding athletes and coaches to the national team. Innovate the establishment and implementation of the "one person, one case, one team" guarantee mechanism for key athletes, and focus on swimming, athletics and other projects, increase the intensity of "please come in, go out", cooperate and exchange with foreign high-level projects in various forms, and effectively improve the level of scientific training, so a number of world-class athletes such as Wang Shun, Xu Jiayu, and Xie Zhenye have emerged, daring to compete with European and American athletes.
Focus on competitiveness, highlight the key to plant a strong talent base, and strengthen and expand advantageous projects. It does not pursue "all aspects" or advocates "all-round blossoming", but focuses on traditional advantageous projects such as swimming, shooting, badminton, kayaking, sailing and windsurfing, etc., thickens the talent base, and improves the overall competitiveness of the project. At the Shaanxi National Games, swimming won 16 gold medals, accounting for 43.24% of the total number of gold medals in the project, of which 9 relay events in Zhejiang alone accounted for 8 gold medals; sailing windsurfing won 6 gold medals, accounting for 35.29% of the number of gold medals (17 pieces) in the project; badminton project continued the glory of the Tokyo Olympic Games, including 3 gold medals in women's singles, men's doubles and mixed doubles, accounting for 42.86% of the number of gold medals (7 pieces) in the project.

Actively integrate training, scientific research and medical resources, build a comprehensive support base for integrated competitive sports of "training, discipline, medicine, medicine, teaching and service", and create a composite training team that integrates training and medicine. Focusing on the digital reform of sports, we will open up the data of the competitive sports system, use digital and intelligent means, scientifically analyze and judge the training results of athletes, and greatly improve the level of scientific training.

Ningbo Fenghua's Zeng Yingying won the bronze medal in breakdancing at the 14th National Games on behalf of the Zhejiang team.
Focus on socialization, unite all parties in society to work together, and achieve the purpose of cultivating sports talents in diversity.

Reporter: What is the unique significance of the Zhejiang legion competing for gold and silver at the Olympic Games and the National Games for the construction of Zhejiang's "important window" and the construction of the "common prosperity demonstration zone"?
Zheng Yao: This year marks the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, and it is also the year when Zhejiang's high-quality development and common prosperity demonstration zone were launched, and Zhejiang should have more missions to undertake and strive for first-class in more fields. The Olympic Games and the National Games are not only an important platform for comprehensively testing the competitive sports strength of various provinces (cities), but also an important platform for reflecting the level of economic and social development, governance system and governance capacity modernization of various localities. Therefore, the decisive victory in the Olympic Games and the National Games is one of the important missions of the sports front to help build an "important window" and build a "common prosperity demonstration area". "Common prosperity" includes not only material wealth, but also spiritual wealth. Zhejiang athletes frequently compete for gold and silver in the Olympic Games, forming a strong atmosphere of advocating heroes and paying tribute to champions in the whole society, greatly boosting the spirit and stimulating vitality, this power will be long-term and eternal, and will have an irreplaceable and indispensable huge impetus for the whole society and all walks of life.

In this regard, we have cooperated with the State General Administration of Sport to carry out useful exploration and practice, and Zhejiang is not only a participant, a contributor, but also a beneficiary.
The first is to explore the joint construction of the national team. For example, the China (Zhejiang) National Swimming Team, which is the first national team jointly established by the General Administration of Sport and the people's governments of provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government), jointly cultivates more high-level sports talents by giving policies, funds and other preferences. The second is to strive to create a sports gold business card for social forces. Wenzhou has become the only pilot city in the country for social forces to run sports, including competitive sports, so that social forces and private capital can participate, and useful explorations have been carried out and initial results have been achieved; the third is to jointly build a national-level training base. Establish or undertake more national team training tasks, such as the women's volleyball national team training base in Beilun, Ningbo, the national water training base in Chun'an Qiandao Lake, and the Jiangshan National Weightlifting Training Base under construction. Openness, inclusiveness and atmosphere are the rich connotations of Zhejiang's spirit, and it is the unshirkable duty of Zhejiang sports to make greater contributions to the cultivation of more Olympic champions for China. The fourth is to expand and build overseas training bases. Actively promote the construction of swimming, athletics, kayaking, rowing and other projects to the United States, Australia, Hungary to establish overseas training bases, strengthen international training exchanges, and continuously improve the level of international training.

To win the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games is to create the best results in history in front of the fathers and villagers in Zhejiang. To this end, we have studied and formulated the objectives and plans for the preparation of the Hangzhou Asian Games, and efficiently implemented and promoted the training and preparation work.

Actively communicate with the Asian Organizing Committee and the General Administration of Sport, timely grasp the first-hand information of the Asian Games qualifiers and qualifications, scientifically implement the preparation strategy for the Hangzhou Asian Games, and strive to obtain more qualifications. The second is to optimize the training method and focus on improving the level of competition. By inviting the national team to "Zhejiang" for training and jointly building the national team, Zhejiang athletes and coaches can get more opportunities to train with the national team, learn from advanced experience, improve the level of competition, and win glory for the country. Of course, it is also very important to optimize the support service and consolidate the foundation for decisive victory. In accordance with the requirements of "one person, one policy and one team", we will formulate a comprehensive training support plan, refine the prevention and treatment of athletes' injuries and diseases, technical adjustment, etc., ensure that the Hangzhou Asian Games will be decisively won in the best state, and continue the brilliant achievements created by the Zhejiang Legion in the Tokyo Olympic Games and the Shaanxi National Games.
