The reporter learned from Zunyi Medical University that Huang Shan, a teacher in the physical education teaching and research department of Zunyi Medical University Zhuhai Campus, served as an international technical officer in the tennis project in the just-concluded 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games and won the title of "Excellent Referee".
According to Huang Shan, who worked in Tokyo, the Tokyo Olympic tennis event was held from July 24 to August 1 at the Ariake Tennis Center in Tokyo, Japan, producing a total of 5 gold medals in men's singles, women's singles, men's doubles, women's doubles and mixed doubles. A total of four Chinese referees were selected as international technical officials in this tennis event, namely Zhang Juan (referee), Wang Yujin (Division Line), Huang Shan (Division Line), and Wang Xinliang (Tournament Control, Tournament Control Center).
Born in 1989, Huang Shan, a native of Anyang, Henan Province, graduated from Wuhan Institute of Physical Education, received a master's degree from Beijing Sport University in 2013, a doctorate from Beijing Sport University in 2016, and has played more than 800 important tennis tournaments at home and abroad, and is currently teaching at Zunyi Medical University Zhuhai Campus.
Huang Shan said that the selection of technical officials for the Tokyo Olympic Games began in 2019, and after being recommended and approved by the national or regional network association, the final list was determined by the International Network Federation. The Tokyo Olympics originally selected 183 people (excluding the team of referees), but for various reasons, 150 people came to Tokyo. In order for technical officials to leave smoothly and return safely, the State General Administration of Sport, the Network Management Center and other units have done a lot of work, especially in the direction of epidemic prevention and control. "So we pay more attention to protection in Tokyo, protect ourselves, and don't add to the country's blockage." Huang Shan said. In Tokyo, Huang Shan's work is very hard. The technical officers board the shuttle at 8:50 a.m. each morning and race begins at 11 a.m. "The normal travel time from the hotel to the arena is 30 minutes, but it takes almost an hour to arrive every morning, and the average return to the room after work is around 23:00." Huang Shan said that especially in the first 3 days, due to the shortage of linemen, she needed to rotate in 3 venues, which was very intense.
Talking about her feelings when working at the Tokyo Olympics, Huang Shan said: "There are no spectators in the audience seats of the stadium, everywhere is empty, and the atmosphere is less. We live and work carefully every day, and we don't enjoy the competition like other competitions. But when we see the players win the game for the country, and see the players shed tears of excitement, it touches me a lot, the players are not easy. Huang Shan said that the trip also received support and care from the unit and family. My goal this time is to complete the work assigned to me in quality and quantity on the basis of comprehensive protection, return to China in good health and health, and not add chaos to epidemic prevention and blockage to the motherland. Working abroad during the epidemic has made me feel the strength of the country even more, and I am proud to be born as a Chinese! ”
