On December 23, 2007, 229 days before the opening of the Beijing Olympic Games, the "3rd China Sports Lottery High-end Forum" jointly sponsored by Shenzhen Newspaper Group Jing Newspaper and Shenzhen Sports Lottery Management Center was grandly opened in Shenzhen Newspaper Hall. A group of people who have close ties with Chinese sports and Chinese sports lottery gathered again to open their hearts and talk about the topic of the "Olympic Games" and share their feelings. Among them is former badminton world champion Li Lingwei.
The years flow like water, and the years are like songs. Badminton fans will not be unaware of Li Lingwei's name, because this name represents an era, a glorious history. When many people opened the floodgates of their memories and tried to relive the wonderful moments of the world champion,000 years, they suddenly found that the "feather queen" who stayed in their memories and was as light as a swallow suddenly appeared in front of them, and had become a calm, steady, dashing and capable IOC official.
"After retiring, I studied for a while, then became a coach, then I recharged my batteries, I went to the International Badminton Federation for a position, and now I went to the International Olympic Committee, the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee... In between, I have never stopped learning, and to this day, every step is inseparable from learning, which is not an accidental change. Speaking of this experience, Li Lingwei said that everything has cause and effect, and it is impossible to design things in life, and no one knew that the Olympic Games could be successfully bid.
Former IOC President Samaranch has long argued that if the Olympics are to be sustainable, the size of the Games must be controlled, which means that not all sports can enter the Games. Once a sport enters the Olympic Games, it means "coming back to life"; once it leaves the Olympic family, it may mean that it has come to an end. Li Lingwei said frankly, "I have the heavy responsibility of inspecting and evaluating whether a project can enter the Olympic Games, which is a huge challenge for me. ”
Li Lingwei's speech on the same day revolved around the "humanistic concept". She said that athletes are the protagonists of the Olympic Games, and without the participation of athletes, the Olympic Games would not exist. The Beijing Olympics put forward the athlete-centered service tenet, which is very good.
In 2007, the Beijing Olympic Organizing Committee received a total of 61 countries and regions visiting the Olympic Organizing Committee, with thousands of people, which was unanimously praised by all parties.
There was a small incident that particularly impressed Li Lingwei. After visiting the model room in the Beijing Olympic Village, the head of the Australian delegation raised the problem of water leakage in the toilets of the athletes' rooms, which he believed was very serious and that it was necessary to ensure that the water did not spread to the entire bathroom floor. Later, other delegations raised the issue, and the staff went to the site to check and did find that the water could spread to the ground, which could lead to athletes slipping or even injury. "From these small things, we can see how meticulous the delegation's requirements for the preparations for the Olympic Games are, which puts forward higher requirements for our preparations." She said.
"During the Olympic Games, we will provide translation services in 55 languages, and the athletes' restaurant will have as many varieties as possible, including hot pot." The Olympic Village is the temporary home of athletes during the competition, Li Lingwei said that in order to let athletes from all over the world have a satisfactory "rear resting place", a national Olympic service center will be specially set up at that time.
When talking about the feelings of participating in the "Third China Sports Lottery High-end Forum", Li Lingwei praised, "The biggest beneficiary of holding such a forum is the people. Through the medium, feel the Olympics. Although Shenzhen is far from Beijing, the Olympic wind can penetrate every corner. ”
