On August 5, in the men's horizontal bar final of the Paris Olympics, Chinese gymnast Zhang Boheng made a mistake when landing and finally won a bronze medal. Another Chinese player, Su Weide, also had problems on the landing, and ended up in fifth.
After the game, former Chinese gymnasts, world champion and Olympic champion Li Xiaoshuang once again angrily criticized the Chinese gymnastics coaching staff.
Li Xiaoshuang was simply angry in his post-game comments. He said bluntly: "Our coach should really be sober and sober!" There is a problem with the management team, and the training requirements are not high. I look at our team members, and there is not even a handsome appearance after doing the action!
What the hell is going on? It's simply that the usual training standards are not enough. There will be problems when you land, you see how people do it. I really don't want to say the word 'pity', but I'm a straight-mouthed person, and bad is bad! We have to sum up, and if we fight again in four years, we have to show what level we have.
Although you are the coach of the national team and your level is higher than mine, you still have to talk about parallel bars. What should the Chinese spirit, Chinese sports, and Chinese gymnastics look like, if the requirements are not strict, don't think about performing well during the competition. If you are usually demanding, you will definitely be able to show it in the competition.
Our landing was terrible, there was no prediction at all, and there was no sense of space at all. I've been saying today that as long as you play normally and stand firm. Not to mention standing firmly, he didn't even have a chance to move, so he fell directly to the ground. Don't blame me for being angry, although it has nothing to do with me, and the grades have nothing to do with me, but can I get angry, of course I can! ”
Li Xiaoshuang's criticism is not casual, he is sincere after careful consideration of the current situation of the Chinese gymnastics team. He felt that the training mode of our coaching staff was too rigid and there were no new tricks, which was one of the big reasons for the decline in performance. In addition, he also exposed the problems of the coaching staff in the selection and employment of personnel, which is also an important reason for the decline in the competitiveness of Chinese gymnastics in international competitions in recent years.
As soon as Li Xiaoshuang's views came out, they immediately aroused heated discussions. Many netizens applauded, thinking that he was too right, and the coaching staff really had a bunch of questions. For example, in the Paris Olympics, the Chinese men's team made three mistakes in the horizontal bar event, and finally only missed 0.532 points, missing the gold medal and winning a silver medal. The result is yet another proof of the coaching staff's flaws in management and training.
Li Xiaoshuang particularly emphasized that the coaching staff must take responsibility and not always blame the athletes for failure. He suggested that training methods and selection methods should be improved as soon as possible to ensure that the new forces can be replenished in a timely manner. If the coaching staff does not change, it will be difficult for the best athletes to achieve results. Coaches, stop complaining about the athletes' lack of morale, and see what you are doing wrong. If this continues, it will be very difficult for our gymnastics team to get ahead in the international arena.
As a former Olympic champion, Li Xiaoshuang's love and attention to gymnastics is nothing to say. He criticized so directly because he was worried about it. He is well aware of the importance of the role coaches play in the training of athletes, and their coaching style and training requirements have a direct impact on athletes' performance and performance.
If the coaching team does not usually demand too much from the athletes, or does not train specifically for weaknesses, the athletes will definitely not perform at their best in the competition. As some netizens said, as soon as the athletes come on the field, the domineering energy and temperament of others are the confidence of their usual training. Of course, the athlete's hard work and talent are also crucial, but as Li Xiaoshuang said, if the athlete has a problem, the coach can't escape it.
The coaching team must reflect well, identify deficiencies and loopholes in training, and be better prepared for future training and competitions. I hope the coaches can listen to Li Xiaoshuang's opinion. As a gymnast of the older generation, he looked at the current situation and felt a pain in his heart. He pointed out the problem in order to let everyone go higher, farther and stronger.
Li Xiaoshuang stressed that coaches must shoulder their responsibilities and not keep pushing the problem on the athletes. He suggested that training methods and selection methods should be improved to ensure that the new forces could be replenished in a timely manner. If the coaching staff does not change, it will be difficult for the best athletes to achieve results. Coaches, stop complaining about the athletes, and see where you are not doing enough. If this continues, it will be very difficult for our gymnastics team to stand out in the international arena.
Netizens were really angry and threw their anger on the coaching staff. I still remember the last Tokyo Olympics, Zhang Boheng was our trump card at that time, the all-around world champion, and his condition and physical strength were very good, but the coaching staff didn't let him play.
In the men's team qualifying round and finals, he fought hard to complete all six events, perfectly completed 12 sets of movements, and helped the Chinese team win the silver medal in the men's team.
Especially in the team competition, Zhang Boheng performed so well, seeing that victory was in sight, but because of the mistakes of his teammates, the gold medal flew like this, which is really heart-wrenching.
In this Paris Olympics, the coaching staff asked Zhang Boheng to rotate continuously, and he had 21 games, most of which were still difficult movements. Although Zhang Boheng gritted his teeth and persevered, but people are iron and steel, physical strength and energy are limited, and he is already a little powerless in his best personal all-around and horizontal bar, and the two gold medals are so lost, which is simply embarrassing!
Everyone is really distressed about Zhang Boheng, no one can bear to blame him, but they are comforting him. Everyone hopes that the coaching staff will have a snack and stop making the top players tired like this. Zhang Boheng's fighting spirit is worthy of respect, but the coaching staff also has to reflect on how to make reasonable arrangements so that every athlete can play in the best condition.
But to be honest, this Su Weide young man is quite sincere. When something went wrong, he immediately stood up and apologized, saying, "I'm sorry big brothers, I'm willing to accept all criticism." "Seriously, everyone was angry at the time, and no one thought that his apology would be of any use.
The 24-year-old young man, with his enthusiasm and sense of national honor, regardless of the huge damage to the body caused by the competition (everyone also knows the damage to the body caused by the high-intensity and difficult training of gymnastics), stood on the field with confidence, which is not easy in itself, isn't it?
As an audience, seeing Li Xiaoshuang criticize the coaching staff so sharply, my heart is really mixed. On the one hand, I feel distressed, and on the other hand, I feel a little hopeful. Perhaps, this bitter criticism is a turning point in the resurgence of Chinese gymnastics. The coaching staff really has to reflect and reflect, from training methods to team management, they have to have a big reform and improve in an all-round way.
Coaches, stop working behind closed doors! Take a look at how people train, how they manage, and learn from each other's strengths. Our athletes can't always take the blame, and the coaching staff has to take responsibility. It's time to act! Only by working together can Chinese gymnastics stand on top of the world again.
I hope that the Chinese gymnastics team can be brave after being ashamed, take this setback as motivation, and regain its strength as soon as possible! Everyone is looking forward to seeing our athletes shine on the field. Chinese gymnastics, come on! Your efforts, the audience sees it, and their hearts are cheering for you! Let the world once again witness the strength of Chinese gymnastics!
