(Original title: How did the science behind the Olympic “out of the circle” champion, Quan Hongchan, was selected. This is how Su Bingtian trained it)
With the sound of the “Star Walk” music, the 17-day “Historical Hardest Olympics”-Tokyo Olympics officially came to an end. The Chinese delegation ranked second on the medal list with 38 golds, 32 silvers and 18 bronzes, successfully “out of the circle” “There are many sports stars.
The most eye-catching is the 14-year-old “genius girl” Quan Hongchan, who won the women’s singles 10-meter platform championship with a total score of 466.20 in all the second, fourth, and fifth jumps. She is also the third Olympic diving champion from Zhanjiang, the “Hometown of Diving in China” after Lao Lishi and He Chong.
“At present, there are 12 prefectural and municipal amateur sports schools in the province equipped with professional diving training points. In addition to the city sports schools, there are also two district-level sports schools and one diving school under the jurisdiction of Zhanjiang.” Guangdong Diving Project Management Center Director Ling Haichan told reporters from Southern Finance and Economics that talents are the most important factor for diving. Zhanjiang has outstanding advantages in coach composition, sports culture, and the number of sports school bases. This is also where Zhanjiang can be used in diving. One of the reasons to maintain a long-term competitive advantage.
Su Bingtian, also from Guangdong, ran into the finals of the Tokyo Olympics and became the first Chinese to enter the men’s 100-meter final of the Olympics. In the men’s table tennis finals, the Chinese team lost 3 straight games and defeated the German team 3-0 to win the championship.
When people marvel at the talent and hard work of athletes, in fact, behind their gold medals is the progress of China’s sports scientific research.
“Practice the scientific training concept!” In a paper titled “New Era Chinese Men’s 100m Dash: Review and Prospect”, Su Bingtian, as the first author, revealed the secret of becoming an “Asian flying man”.
Scientific selection mechanism
As a major sports province, the overall training system for reserve talents for diving in Guangdong shows a certain degree of gradation. Ling Haichan said, “First, the coaches of sports schools will select talents from elementary schools and youth sports clubs. The selected children will start formal diving training, and then the provincial The diving team selects talents from local and municipal sports schools through the recommendation of local and municipal sports school coaches, large-scale training camps, and competitions.”
“Many of the earliest batch of diving athletes in my country were trained and transferred from Zhanjiang, including the former national team head coach, deputy head coach, and Guangdong provincial team head coach, etc. After passing on from generation to generation, a lot has been accumulated. Training experience.” Ling Haichan told Southern Finance All-Media reporters that in addition to standardized training models, many senior coaches will continue to accumulate experience from the training process of the best athletes and form a set of unique selection standards and training methods.
In addition, “Because of the long history of diving in Zhanjiang, there have been many world champions. People in the region are more concerned about diving, and many parents are willing to send their children to learn diving.” Ling Haichan said that Zhanjiang is diving due to the influence of the regional sports culture atmosphere. It also has certain advantages on the basis of reserve talents.
It is reported that Zhanjiang City currently has four professional diving training sites, including Zhanjiang Sports School, Chikan Sports School, Xiashan Sports School, and Zhanjiang Diving School.
At the provincial level, the “Guangdong Provincial Sports Bureau’s “Provincial Demonstration Project Reserve Talent Base” Management Measures (Trial)” promulgated by the Guangdong Provincial Sports Bureau in recent years has further broadened the space for the rise of grassroots professional athletes and improved the province’s sports reserve. Talent training system.
“The joint training mechanism has broken the traditional talent transfer model and turned Guangzhou and Shenzhen into two “demonstration bases” in the name of two provincial sports schools.” Ling Haichan said, “Guangzhou and Shenzhen have relatively good economic conditions. After the selection of the sports school, the two parties sign an agreement. The prefecture and city will provide talents and Guangzhou and Shenzhen will provide funding. After that, the athletes’ achievements will also benefit the two prefectures and cities jointly trained, so as to realize the joint development of multiple regions in the province.”
This is also the “new method” introduced by Guangdong in recent years in order to further adapt to the new situation of the development of competitive sports and change the training model of reserve talents for competitive sports.
Behind “Run Fast”
On the evening of August 1, in the men’s 100m final of the Tokyo Olympics, Su Bingtian won the sixth place with a time of 9.98 seconds. Although I regret to lose the medal, in this sport where black athletes have almost monopolized and even formed the so-called “ethnic advantage” for a long time, Su Bingtian’s intrusion not only broke the ethnological prejudice about the 100-meter race, but its meaning is never to win. Under a gold medal.
One of the key elements behind the historic breakthrough and Su Bingtian’s success is the use of modern sports technology.
“Su Bingtian can succeed, in addition to his talent, the more important thing is the scientific training.” On August 9, a person from the Anhui Sports Bureau told the 21st Century Business Herald that in the 1980s and 1990s, it was more than just sprinting. Almost all sports events in China are based on the “master with apprentice” model, “whatever the coach learns, what is taught to the players? It all depends on experience.”
The above-mentioned Anhui Sports Bureau official said frankly that in the past, Chinese sports training was mainly based on the “three majors and one practice.” “This kind of training principle itself is not wrong, but it lacks the support of science and technology. After the 20th century, various sports projects in China began to strengthen the training. The application of science and technology, especially some previously unpopular projects, such as 110-meter hurdles and 100-meters, has undergone scientific and systematic training, and has made great progress. Su Bingtian’s success is the continuation of Liu Xiang’s success. I believe that the future is In short track events, Chinese athletes will get better and better.”
In the paper “Chinese Men’s 100m Dash in the New Era: Review and Prospect”, Su Bingtian revealed that his coach is American Randy Huntington, he is a “research type” coach, and the overall training idea is “take the’championship model’ as the guide, through high Scientific and technological instruments and equipment monitor all aspects of athletes’ physical fitness, technique, and recovery. Based on this, they can find problems, find gaps, and formulate personalized training programs to make up for shortcomings and comprehensively improve athletes’ competitive ability.”
Big data application
Behind Su Bingtian’s “running fast” is the support of science and technology. In fact, the Chinese table tennis team was able to achieve “4 gold and 3 silver” results in the Tokyo Olympics. Behind it is “Zhejiang University Table Tennis Intelligence Big Data”. Analysis platform” support.
On July 29th, at the Tokyo Stadium, the semi-finals of Sun Yingsha and Mima Ito are proceeding intensely.
Every serve, swing, move, etc. of Mima Ito is recorded by this AI cloud platform deployed in Tokyo. These data are transmitted at an average speed of 100Mbps to the technical team of the “Zhejiang University Table Tennis Intelligent Big Data Analysis Platform” 2442 kilometers away from the gymnasium.
Wu Yingcai, deputy dean of the School of Computer Science and Technology of Zhejiang University, is the main developer of the table tennis intelligent big data analysis platform. The only scientific research and technical personnel who went with the Chinese table tennis team are Zhang Hui, the director of the Department of Physical Education of the School of Education, Zhejiang University. In recent years, the leading sports big data innovation team of Zhejiang University has been providing competition data analysis and technical and tactical research services for the Chinese table tennis team.
Beginning in 2020, Wu Yingcai has worked with the team of Professor Zhou Zhihua of Nanjing University to use the theoretical framework of deductive learning to tackle this technical problem. In 2021, he has also made important progress and original results. As long as the game video is entered on the table tennis intelligent big data analysis platform, the quality of each shot of the player in the video can be automatically obtained. This analysis technique will gradually be applied to the daily training of the national table tennis team.
In fact, behind the fact that Zhejiang won 7 gold medals, 2 silver medals and 1 bronze medal in the Tokyo Olympics, it is not only supported by the economic foundation, but also inseparable from the support of scientific research.
