In the past two days, Shanghai players have gained a lot at the National Games. Lu Jiawen won the high jump championship, Xu Jiajie dominated the men's javelin, Song Jiayuan took the silver medal in the shot put, and Tang Qianting was the runner-up in the 100m breaststroke... It is worth mentioning that the above are all young players and have achieved a major breakthrough in personal achievements at the National Games. Netizens sighed: They represent the height, speed and strength of the future development of Shanghai sports.

At the Youth Games two years ago, Lu Jiawen crossed 1.90 meters, setting a new record for the world's youth high jump. At that time, Lu Jiawen was a 17-year-old girl with a green smile on her face, and now on the stage of the National Games, she has taken on the heavy responsibility of winning the women's high jump championship for Shanghai and becoming the new leader of the project. The last Shanghai athlete to win the High Jump Championship at the National Games was Zhu Jianhua in the 1980s.
At the Tokyo Olympics, Shanghai youngster Song Jiayuan, who participated in the first competition, performed brilliantly, winning the fifth place in women's shot put, and moving to the National Games, she improved her performance from 19.14 meters to 19.76 meters, which greatly refreshed her personal best. Javelin player Xu Jiajie in the men's final of the National Games, the results of the three months ago the national championships improved by more than 3 meters, close to the participation standards of the Tokyo Olympic Games, you know, this Olympic Games China failed to have a player to enter the top 8 javelins.
The young and cutting-edge grabbed power is the result of many years of accumulation of talents in Shanghai competitive sports. Like the hurdles that Lu Jiawen practiced in her early years, after being discovered for her talent in high jumping, in recent years, under the cultivation of Coach Liu Lu, she has climbed step by step to today's height. From the perspective of technical ability and age, Lu Jiawen still has a lot of room for improvement, and the 1.92 meters of the National Games championship is far from her limit. Song Jiayuan's shot from back sliding to rotary throwing is a scientific adjustment made by Coach Sui Xinmei according to her characteristics. In order to improve the level of training, she learned from the excellent male athletes abroad and worked with the coach to explore the latter's techniques.

In addition to training, these youngsters also receive spiritual care and care during their growth. Like Lu Jiawen and Tang Qianting, they have experienced a period of rebellion and have inevitably faced temptations in their growth, but coaches, team leaders and training centers can think differently from the perspective of athletes, provide them with a tight and loose training environment, and eventually raise good seedlings into big trees.
In the "14th Five-Year Plan for Sports Development" just promulgated by Shanghai, specific goals have been set for the cultivation of competitive sports talents: to ensure that a sufficient number of Shanghai athletes enter the national training team every year, and steadily increase the contribution of Shanghai sports to the country. The National Games is only a new starting point for Lu Jiawen, and I believe that in the near future, in international competitions and olympic games, we can see these Shanghai athletes break through themselves and strive for new honors on behalf of China.
