← In 2018, after li he won the women's 100 meters and 200 meters of the World Student Games, he returned to his alma mater, Nanhai District Shishan Senior High School.
In the early morning of July 18, the Chinese feather team set off from Beijing and took a charter flight to Tokyo, Japan. The Chinese badminton team competed for gold medals in all five events at the Tokyo Olympics. Among the 14 Olympic main players, the 24-year-old women's doubles main force Chen Qingchen came out of Foshan.
In this Year's Tokyo Olympic Games, there are also Zheng Pengfei and Li He who have come out of Foshan. The former won the first place in the men's single rowing 1000 meters event at the Asian Qualification Tournament for the Parthian KayakIng Tokyo Olympic Games in Thailand in May, and successfully won the Olympic seat, and will follow the national team to Japan on the 27th. The latter is a "female flyer" who graduated from Shishan Senior High School in Nanhai District and won the 100-meter race crown of the World Student Games many times, and will participate in the women's 100-meter relay event in the athletics arena, and is also about to go.
The Olympic Games are just around the corner, and the passion and charm of competitive sports are once again ignited. As a key part of the comprehensive development of urban sports and the popularization of national fitness, Over the years, Foshan has made great efforts in the cultivation of competitive sports reserve talents, from the selection of "seedlings" to the integration of sports and education, which has borne fruitful results. According to incomplete statistics, there are at least 50 sports celebrities who have come out of Foshan, and at least 28 Foshan athletes have participated in the Olympic Games.
Arena: How the famous player is made
Chen Qingchen: After the training, I often communicate technical issues with the coach
Born in 1997, Chen Qingchen became acquainted with Foshan in 2005. "When she came to Shunde Amateur Sports School (hereinafter referred to as Shunde Sports School), she was not yet 10 years old." Zhang Zhiyong, coach of the badminton team of Shunde Sports School, recalled that it was his enlightenment coach at Xingning Sports School that "matchmaking". Suffering from the lack of professional training places, Chen Qingchen came to Shunde from the sports school in his hometown of Meixian because of an opportunity.
However, Chen Qingchen's own conditions are not prominent, belonging to the typical "Guangdong type" badminton players, not tall, not long legs. But Zhang Zhiyong can see her advantages: "She is very flexible and well coordinated. Zhang Zhiyong said that Chen Qingchen was very diligent in the two years of training at Shunde Sports School, and she has been training in the school except for the occasional holiday home.
Zhang Zhiyong recalled that when Chen came to Shunde in the morning, the sports school had its own badminton training venue. "When she plays, she studies her opponent's ball path and technique, and after training, she stays behind to talk to the coach about the problems she has with playing." In addition, due to the lack of professional track and field tracks in the sports school at that time, every morning, Chen Qingchen would "train with his teammates" and run on Fengling Mountain near the sports school. There are stone steps and trails on the mountain, and Chen and his teammates run along the mountain road together in the early morning for aerobic training.
During his two years of training at Shunde Sports School, Chen Qingchen's skills have made great progress. In 2006, she was "photographed" by the Guangdong Provincial Sports School and then sent to the provincial team in 2008. In December 2014, she was officially selected for the national team. In the same year, Chen Qingchen and Jia Yifan began to make their debuts in pairing. In the course of seven years, Chen Qingchen and Jia Yifan have grown from ignorant national youth teenagers to the number one main force of the national feather women's doubles.
The Tokyo Olympics were the first Olympic Games for Chen And Jia, and they are currently ranked second in the world with high hopes. "I've always been in touch with Chen Qingchen, and she often shares bits and pieces of her preparations for the Olympics." Zhang Zhiyong has always encouraged her and blessed her, and may she play her own style at the Tokyo Olympic Games and win glory for the country.
Zheng Pengfei: From swimming to kayaking, I made extraordinary efforts
"Zheng Pengfei departed a little later than Chen, and he will follow the national team to Japan on July 27." Mao Guobin, president of Shunde Sports School, has been paying close attention to the situation of the two Olympic athletes who went out from the school. Among them, Zheng Pengfei is his proud protégé.
Born in 1993, Zheng Pengfei is a native of Heilongjiang, and in 2007, at the age of 14, Zheng Pengfei crossed half of China to Shunde Sports School, not to learn kayaking, but to swim. However, due to missing the best age, coupled with his lack of balance, the effect after a period of training is not ideal. He had outstanding performance in running and good endurance, and then under the guidance of Mao Guobin, he turned to the kayaking project.
Kayaking is not only a very technically difficult sport, but also a tough and dangerous sport. In addition to physical training, athletes have to train on the water every day from 5 to 6 pm, and sometimes the time for water training is extended to 3 hours if conditions permit. In Mao Guobin's eyes, Zheng Pengfei is a child who is particularly able to endure hardships and never give up after identifying a goal. Since choosing kayaking, Zheng Pengfei has insisted on hard training day after day.
After more than three years of training, Zheng Pengfei won the third place in the 2010 Provincial Games Single Rowing Boat, entered the Provincial Team in October of the following year, and in 2014, won the second place in the Incheon Asian Games Double Rowing 1000 Meters, and won the fifth place in the World Championships Single Rowing 5000 Meters. At this year's Tokyo Olympics, Zheng Pengfei and Liu Hao combined to participate in the men's double rowing 1000 meters, while also participating in the single rowing 1000 meters competition.
Li He: The "female flying man" who ran from the World Student Games to the Olympic Games
Born in Gaozhou, Maoming in 2001, Li He was found to be a sprinter by her teacher at the primary school games, and she was found to be a sprinter by her teacher, representing the school in the town's competition, and has been associated with the athletics field ever since. In her second year of junior high school, she won the second place in the 200-meter race at the 14th Guangdong Provincial Games, and came to the fore, and Zhai Jinming, director of the Sports Competition Center of Shishan Senior High School, who led the Foshan team to compete, silently watched her movements. Later, in the face of the pressure of the middle school entrance examination and the incomprehension of her family, she once faced the dilemma of going out to work.
At this time, Zhai Jinming reported to the leaders of Shishan Senior High School, and the school immediately decided to reduce her tuition fees and give her living expenses subsidies. With the help of many parties, Li He came to Foshan and began a new career in athletics. In 2017, she won the women's 100 meters and 200 meters championships in the First Division A of the National Secondary School Athletics Championships, breaking the women's 100 meters record of the National Junior High School Athletics Championships with a time of 11.74 seconds; in 2018, she represented the Chinese team in the World Student Games, winning the women's 100 meters and 200 meters championships in one fell swoop; in 2019, she won the women's 100 meters championship of the World Student Athletics Championships. Li He entered the Hubei team for professional training. In the same year, she was selected for the national team for the first time and went to the United States for training with the team. This year, Li He's 100-meter performance was basically stable within 11.60 seconds, and with his outstanding performance in many events such as indoor divisional competitions, Yangtze River Delta Athletics Elite Invitational Tournament, and national championships, he finally entered the women's 100-meter relay list of the Chinese team of the Chinese delegation at the Tokyo Olympic Games.
Inventory: Foshan has produced at least 28 Olympic players
According to incomplete statistics, since 2011, Foshan athletes have performed well in domestic and foreign competitions such as the World Championships, Asian Games, National Games, and Provincial Games, and won more than 200 first places. Among them, in 2011, in domestic and foreign competitions, Foshan athletes won more than 60 first places; at the 15th Provincial Games held in 2018, Foshan won a total of 38 "firsts".
Stretching the timeline of statistics, there are at least 50 sports stars from Foshan, who have performed well in weightlifting, badminton, swimming, basketball, water polo, trampolines, modern pentathlons and other sports, becoming the core players in the field. Including world trampoline champion and sanshui athlete Zhong Xingping, modern pentathlon and South China Sea athlete Liang Wanxia
The highly publicized Olympic event is considered the highest pursuit of athletes' careers, and athletes from all over the world are proud to be on the field and even on the podium. According to the materials provided by the Foshan Municipal Bureau of Culture, Radio, Television, Tourism and Sports, at least 28 athletes in Foshan have participated in the previous Olympic Games. Among them, there are eight-time world record-breaking and South China Sea weightlifter He Zhuoqiang; Chancheng athlete Gao Lize, who won the bronze medal at the Seoul Olympic Games and represented the Hong Kong team; South China Sea athlete Liang Zhuen won the silver medal in the men's doubles of the Athens Olympic table tennis; South China Sea women's Zhou Wanfeng and Pan Fengzhen won the silver medal in women's hockey at the Beijing Olympics; Du Feng and Zhou Peng, who are from the Foshan men's basketball team, won the eighth place in the Beijing Olympic men's basketball.
Unfortunately, so far, Foshan athletes have not yet achieved the "breakthrough of zero" in the history of the Olympic Games. According to the relevant analysis, Chen Qingchen and Zheng Pengfei who participated in this competition have the strength to rush gold.
Development: The integration of sports and education explores more possibilities for the cultivation of competitive sports talents
The echelon training of youth competitive sports talents is a key link in the selection and transportation of national athletes. Foshan, which has always ranked high in Guangdong Province in terms of competitive sports performance, has been exploring the modern "cultivation" model of competitive sports reserves.
Taking Shunde Sports School as an example, the school has sent nearly 500 professional outstanding athletes to the state, provinces, municipalities and troops. In 2013 and 2016, it was awarded the honorary title of "National High-level Sports Reserve Talent Base" by the State General Administration of Sports. Another set of data from the Foshan Municipal Bureau of Culture, Tourism and Sports shows that foshan won a total of 46 gold medals in the 2020 Provincial Youth Championship and U series of competitions held last year. Last year, 10 people in the city were absorbed as official members of the provincial sports team, 4 people were officially absorbed by the provincial sports school, and 28 people were sent to the provincial sports team and the provincial sports school training team.
Amateur sports schools in the city and all districts are an important base for the cultivation of competitive sports talents. In Mao Guobin's view, a strong coaching team is an important part of attracting and cultivating many athletes. Most of the coaching teams of Shunde Sports School are retired outstanding athletes, and some go out from Shunde Sports School to the provincial team or national team, and then return to the school to teach after retirement.
However, from the perspective of excavating "seedlings", Chen Danfa, head of the athletics and youth sports section of the Foshan Municipal Bureau of Culture, Tourism and Sports, is a little worried. As an economically developed area, Foshan local citizens pay more attention to the cultural direction of children's training, and the high-intensity training of competitive sports often makes parents "reluctant". "Sometimes we find potential students in the competition, communicate with parents and send them to sports schools for training, most of them are reluctant." Chen Danfa said that Foshan's national fitness atmosphere is strong, and the popularity of Olympic sports is very high, but there are not many "tops", because these physical exercises will become a hobby of teenagers, but they may not become their professions.
In fact, from the school team, the city team and then to the provincial team, it is not an easy task to continuously climb and stand out on the road of competitive sports. With the diversified choice and development of society, more young people with sports talents will choose to continue to stay in ordinary schools and enter higher-level universities through the recruitment of sports students, paving a broader employment channel for the future.
To this end, Foshan has also built a multi-level training system for competitive sports reserve talents. Last year, Foshan issued the "Notice on Carrying Out the Assessment and New Cycle Evaluation of Traditional Sports Project Schools and Training Outlets in Foshan City", and there are 82 schools named as municipal sports traditional project schools and 19 named as municipal sports training network schools. Chen Danfa introduced that Foshan has always strengthened the construction of the reserve talent network echelon by strengthening the integration of sports and education. For example, the volleyball team of Shunde No. 1 Middle School once represented Guangdong Province to participate in national competitions; Foshan Experimental Middle School also specially set up a kayak team, and the team members represented Foshan in provincial and national events, which is an innovative model belonging to the "municipal team school office", which can combine the traditional sports advantages of the school with the resources of the department, which is conducive to talent training. In addition, Shishan Senior High School also recruits some special students through its own athletics project strengths and characteristics to achieve the integration of sports and education.
In terms of introducing outstanding athletes, last year, Foshan introduced 36 reserve talents from 8 places such as volleyball, cycling, rowing, kayaking, diving and other 8 places in Shanxi, Liaoning, Henan, Shandong and Hebei, and used the superior resources of Teachers and Training Conditions in Guangzhou and Shenzhen to carry out demonstration base joint training for 32 athletes in 10 projects. At the same time, Foshan actively communicates and cooperates with 8 cities such as Jiangmen and Guangzhou, and exchanges 28 athletes in 8 sports to Foshan.
"We are also exploring more ways and models to introduce and cultivate competitive sports talents." Chen Danfa said that compared with Guangzhou and Shenzhen, foshan's urban attractiveness and the software and hardware strength of amateur sports schools need to be upgraded, and multi-party cooperation is needed to form a virtuous circle of "talent- talent".
