In the just-concluded Paris Olympics, the Chinese table tennis team once again won brilliant results. Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha successfully won the table tennis mixed doubles championship, making up for the regret of losing the championship at the Tokyo Olympics. It is worth mentioning that this competition is not only their victory, but also attracts a lot of attention. Guo Bin, the husband of former Olympic champion Wang Nan, revealed through social media that Mr. Nan decided to reward each of the two champions with three kilograms of gold, equivalent to about 2.2 million yuan. This news instantly detonated the Internet, and netizens lamented that Mr. Nan was generous and worthy of the Chinese table tennis team's mother's family.
This is not the first time that Wang Nan has rewarded Chinese table tennis players. Looking back on the Tokyo Olympics, Mr. Nan once rewarded each Olympic champion with a house worth 5 million yuan, and the total value of nine houses was about 50 million yuan. Such a generous reward not only demonstrates Wang Nan's love and support for the table tennis career, but also allows more people to see the strong backing force of the Chinese table tennis team.
The reason why Mr. Nan is so generous is inseparable from her own experience and success. As a former Olympic champion in table tennis, Wang Nan is well aware of the hardships and sweat of athletes on the field. It is this understanding and empathy that makes her willing to give back to the younger generation who are winning glory for the country after her career has succeeded.
Fans left messages on social media to express their admiration and gratitude to Mr. Nan. One fan said: "Mr. Nan is really the solid backing of the Chinese table tennis team, and every shot is touching. Another fan said: "This is not only a material reward, but also a spiritual encouragement, allowing us to see a kind of inheritance." ”
The experts also spoke highly of Mr. Nan's generosity. Mr. Zhang, a sports commentator, said: "Wang Nan's reward is not only a material support, but also a spiritual encouragement to the athletes. This reward system can stimulate the fighting spirit and enthusiasm of more young athletes, so that they can win glory for their country in the international arena. ”
However, there are also different voices in society for this kind of high-reward behavior. Some netizens believe that excessively high material rewards may make athletes dependent and ignore the meaning of the competition itself and sportsmanship. A netizen commented: "Although Mr. Nan's starting point is good, we should pay more attention to the spiritual cultivation of athletes, rather than simple material rewards." ”
In this regard, the experts made a number of recommendations. Professor Li, an expert in sports psychology, said: "Material rewards can indeed motivate athletes in the short term, but we should also focus on long-term mental motivation and cultivation. Through the establishment of a sound reward mechanism, combining both material and spiritual aspects, the potential of athletes can be fully stimulated. ”
Regardless of the controversy, Wang Nan's generosity has undoubtedly injected a shot in the arm for the Chinese table tennis team. She not only supports young athletes materially, but also gives them great encouragement mentally. As the Chinese table tennis team continues to achieve good results in the international arena, we look forward to more seniors like Wang Nan who can continue to support and inspire the younger generation and contribute to the development of China's sports industry.
