"Hello senior sister!"
With the children's neat shouts, Li Lingwei, member of the International Olympic Committee, vice president of the Chinese Olympic Committee, and chairman of the Samaranch Sports Development Foundation, appeared in the "Feather Star Cradle" exhibition hall of Wenlong Lane Primary School in Hangzhou on the afternoon of December 15.
In addition to Li Lingwei, the veteran star guests who participated in the event also included Lin Jiancheng, the former head coach of the Fujian team, Jiang Yongyi, the former vice chairman of the Chinese Badminton Association, and Li Mao, the former coach of the national team. In addition, Zhang Jun, chairman of the Chinese Badminton Association, who is leading the team to participate in the BWF year-end finals, and Gao Liang, vice chairman of the Chinese Badminton Association, also took time to participate in the event.

The famous coach Li Mao proudly "revealed": Although Wenlongxiang Primary School is not his alma mater, he was once the parent of Wenlongxiang Primary School, and it turned out that his son had studied in Wenlongxiang Primary School. He enthusiastically introduced his son's study at Wenlong Lane Primary School on the spot.
"The reason why Samaranch chose to go to Wenlong Lane Primary School this time is not just because it is my alma mater.

Zhao Qiuhong, principal of Wenlong Lane Primary School, introduced in her speech that badminton, as a characteristic sport of the school, in addition to continuing to cultivate badminton seedlings for Zhejiang, has also established the Zhejiang Campus Badminton League with 16 schools in the province, so that more children have the opportunity to participate in the competition and exchange, which can better promote the integration and development of badminton, sports and education.
"In the future, we hope that more schools in China will participate in this alliance. Zhao Qiuhong said that next year they will resume holding the "Badminton Little Talent" National Badminton Invitational Tournament and send invitations to primary school students and schools across the country.
In the best interactive session, the veteran stars watched the badminton lesson training of Wenlong Lane Primary School students. Li Mao, a famous coach, said that the children's basic skills are very good, no worse than those in sports schools. The old handsome Lin Jiancheng personally went off the field, and pointed his fingers at the technical action essentials of the team members. He encouraged the squad to keep improving their training and excel on the field.
