The 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games are coming to an end, and Chinese athletes have performed well. On August 6, shanghai Olympic athletes won the fifth gold medal in Tokyo as Xu Xin's Chinese team won the gold medal in the men's team event of table tennis at the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games. As of press time, the Chinese sports delegation continued to lead the gold medal list with 37 gold medals, and Shanghai athletes won the Olympic championship in 6 times in 5 events, setting a record for the best participation in the Olympic Games.
Xu Bin, deputy secretary-general of the Chinese sports delegation to the Tokyo Olympic Games and director of the Shanghai Municipal Sports Bureau, said, "Competitive sports have never been a matter for the Shanghai Sports Bureau, and all sectors of society have gathered the best strength and given strong support in all aspects of material selection, training and protection. It is with everyone's participation that Shanghai athletes can achieve such excellent results. ”
Winning the Olympics is by no means a sporting affair
Xu Bin believes that the "Implementation Opinions on Building a New System for the Development of Competitive Sports in Shanghai" clearly requires that the combination of the government system and the market mechanism be adhered to, and a competitive sports management system and evaluation system that combines the system and the outside of the system are gradually formed. From the perspective of the sustainable development of competitive sports, this is the only way to go. It is necessary to give full play to the advantages of the national system, but also to give play to the positive role of the market in the allocation of resources, and add new impetus to the development of competitive sports.
"Shanghai is constantly exploring and has made some achievements. We have formulated and introduced the management measures for the socialization of equestrian sports, fully mobilized the enthusiasm of the market and social forces to jointly organize equestrian projects to participate in major competitions, and innovated the training methods of competitive sports talents. Xu Bin said that the Second Youth Association and social forces jointly formed a team to participate, and Shanghai won 7 gold medals and 1 bronze medal in 16 sub-events in 3 categories of equestrian events. The sports department also signed a cooperation agreement with Meifan to reach a consensus on the development method of the Nokala 17-level project and the form of Olympic preparation, and the Municipal Sports Bureau gave financial support to athletes to replace athletes with awards and achieve results in the Olympic Games, the National Games, the Asian Games and other competitions.
"The district sports bureau, grass-roots training units, sports and education combination schools, and sports clubs have continuously sent us excellent talents." The Municipal Development and Reform Commission, the Municipal Finance Bureau, the Municipal Health Commission, the Municipal Education Commission, the Municipal Human Resources and Social Security Bureau, the Municipal Food and Drug Administration, the Municipal Disease Control and other units have given all-round support to athletes in medical rehabilitation, medical channels, cultural education, isolation in Shanghai, key research topics, and talent introduction. Scientific research and medical strength escort athletes in training and participation. In the development process of competitive sports, many unsung heroes who work silently play an indispensable or even pivotal role. Xu Bin said.
Olympic champions will walk out of the Shencheng campus in the future
The integration of sports and education in Shanghai was done relatively early. To move from a sports power to a sports power, China needs a large number of "athletes and students" to transform into "student athletes". World champions and Olympic champions came out of school, and Shanghai took this road relatively early.
From 2019 to 2022, in terms of the national transport cycle, Shanghai has laid out 65 schools to run second-tier sports teams, and there are more than 800 sports traditional schools at the municipal and district levels in Shanghai, which stems from more than 20 years of accumulation. "Among these more than 800 schools, we have laid out 65 second-tier sports teams in the past cycle, which is equivalent to our municipal sports schools," Xu Bin admitted, although the relevant training level is certainly not as high as that of municipal sports schools, but the third-tier district-level sports schools and the second-line sports teams of traditional sports schools provide more channels for material selection.
The Shanghai Municipal Sports Bureau also actively promotes outstanding coaches to enter the campus, and through participating in the design of training courses, opens up the resources of the two sports teachers and promotes the improvement of the school's after-school training level. "Chen Yunxia, the champion of the women's 4-person double oars at the Tokyo Olympic Games, is the result of our school's training, and he is the track and field team of Qibao Middle School who turned to training and transported to the Shanghai rowing team, which is also a model." Xu Bin said that Shanghai is about to introduce a new round of sports and education integration documents, which will promote the one-stop talent training system of school sports and make some very specific layouts. "I think this will be an important reform and attempt to further expand the selection and training channels for our Shanghai sports reserve talents and improve the comprehensive quality of athletes and all students."
Training by social forces has become a trend in Shanghai
In addition to traditional sports schools, the socialization of youth training in Shanghai also has its own characteristics. Genbao Football Base, Cao Yanhua Table Tennis School, etc., created a precedent for the socialization and marketization of sports talent training in Shanghai that year.
"Xu Xin was trained by Cao Ping-Pong, and the Wulei of our football was cultivated by the Genbao Base," Xu Bin believes that the Nokara 17-level Chinese team, which has attracted more media attention, is participated by shanghai Meifan Club, which is the first time in history that social institutions have undertaken the task of forming a national team alone, which may leave a strong mark in the history of the development of Chinese competitive sports. "The chairman of Meifan communicated with Fa WeChat during and after the Nokara regatta, and I also gave encouragement. Three years later, at the 2024 Paris Olympics, our project is perfectly qualified to compete for the medals. ”
It is reported that Shanghai Sports has launched the construction of a social training base for competitive sports reserve talents in 2020, with a two-year cycle to build a sound social force and build a policy system of training support, management assessment, incentive and reward.
"We named the 35 Shanghai Competitive Sports Reserve Talent Social Training Bases, hoping to explore a long-term development mechanism. There are corporate clubs in it, and there are also sports clubs in some schools, and everyone's enthusiasm is very high. Originally, they felt that they were not a regular army, but a guerrilla, but now after the Shanghai Municipal Sports Bureau was included, it gave the government incentives and brought resources to the training of coaches. Xu Bin introduced that more than a year of data show that their training level has generally improved, and the Shanghai Municipal Sports Bureau has also conducted a mid-way assessment.
"The three models of training talents in Shanghai competitive sports are currently trinity, go hand in hand, and develop in diversity. We are also summing up experience, consolidating and improving, especially in social market-oriented cooperation, we will increase our efforts. Xu Bin believes that the integrated development of these three school-running models in Shanghai will be the road choice for Shanghai to break through the bottleneck of insufficient reserve talents, "I hope that through hard work, we can better send more outstanding Shanghai competitive sports talents to the country." ”
Integrate government, social and market resources into synergy
Although the social forces led by Shanghai Meifan have undertaken to build high-level national sports teams, although their projects are highly dependent on market resources and have a high degree of professionalization, the reform idea of competitive sports opening the door and integrating the most extensive social resources has become more and more resonant. The inclusion of social clubs and youth training institutions in the construction system of the reserve talent echelon can inject more fresh blood into the development of competitive sports.
"The social development of competitive sports in China is the general direction, which is certainly true, and the achievements of the Chinese delegation to the Tokyo Olympic Games just show that the new national system of our government, society and the market has shown results." Xu Bin believes that the main position of China's Olympic gold medalists is still in traditional sports schools, and there are relatively more outstanding athletes trained, which shows that the national system of Chinese sports has its unique advantages and is still playing an important role at this stage.
However, from the perspective of the development law of competitive sports, the government, society and the market jointly form a joint force, which must be the trend of the times. "At this point, Shanghai Sports is unswerving. There are two important considerations here: the success of an athlete is inseparable from the efforts of everyone in the team; at the same time, the development of competitive sports is also inseparable from the attention and support of the whole society, which is definitely not a matter for the sports department. The new mechanism of the trinity of government, society and market will integrate more forces and gather more resources to support the development of competitive sports. After economic and social development, the power of the market and society is growing, and the role of the market and society in regulating and allocating resources will become more and more prominent. As long as we adhere to the new mechanism of the government, society and market, it is believed that we will further improve efficiency and better allocate the most important resources to the most important projects and key players. This may be a feature that was not available in the past. ”
Xu Bin believes that Shanghai has been actively exploring the diversified development model of competitive sports, "With such a different model, we can find our own advantages and disadvantages, in order to better leverage our strengths and avoid our weaknesses, and integrate the resource advantages of the government, society and the market." I believe that this must be the development of competitive sports in Shanghai, and it may also be the only way for the development of competitive sports in China. ”
