After experiencing the “black swan” event of the new crown pneumonia epidemic in 2020 and the suspension of sports events one after another, the sports world in 2021 will undoubtedly cherish the strength of unity even more. Although the epidemic is still spreading around the world, the fire of sportsmanship is burning more enthusiastically. This year, there have been sad farewells, the return of the king, and the hard way forward… And when the Beijing Winter Olympics is about to usher in the opening of the Beijing Winter Olympics, mankind needs to reunite again under the Olympic banner, “together to the future.”
More united
After a century of changes and a century of epidemics, the world needs unity more than ever. It is against this background that the 138th Plenary Session of the International Olympic Committee voted and passed on July 20, agreeing to add “more unity” after the Olympic motto “faster, higher, stronger”. This is the first update since the “Father of the Modern Olympics” Coubertin proposed to establish the Olympic motto in 1894.
This update, more than 100 years later, is to improve the goal of the International Olympic Committee, which is to encourage more global unity through sports around the value of sports. As IOC President Bach said: “The meaning of the Olympics is to bring the world together.”
The sacred flame is lit, it is the light of human unity.
The Tokyo Olympics is the first global event to “unit the world” after the epidemic. Athletes from more than 200 countries and regions gathered under the flag of the Five Rings. This is not only a competitive competition, but also an interpretation of the deep meaning of “more unity”. The upcoming Beijing Winter Olympics is also an important opportunity to demonstrate international cooperation and practice “more unity”. A small number of noises are destined to be unable to stop the high enthusiasm for the Winter Olympics and the international community’s desire for communication, unity and peace.
breakthrough
38 golds, 32 silvers and 18 bronzes. This is the transcript handed over by the Chinese sports delegation at the Tokyo Olympics. The number of gold medals equals the best record in overseas competitions, and China’s competitive sports has ushered in a series of breakthroughs.
Su Bingtian ran 9.83 seconds in the men’s 100m semi-final, breaking the Asian men’s 100m record, becoming the first Chinese man to stand on the runway of the men’s 100m “flying man” final in the Olympic Games. After four Olympics, Gong Lijiao has become more and more courageous. He won China’s first Olympic field gold medal with a personal best of 20 meters 58. It is a breakthrough and a dream. With a roar, Liu Shiying won China’s first Olympic javelin gold medal, and wrote a story about the long spear being like electricity and the changhong. In the shooting range, “post-00” Yang Qian became famous; in the blue pool, Zhang Yufei “breaks the cocoon and transforms the butterfly”; the gravity lifter can “lift the weight if light” at the last appearance; the diving “little flower” frequently staged the “splash disappearing technique”…
The Olympic Games are regarded as the “area” of the country’s comprehensive strength. The breakthrough of the Chinese Legion’s performance is inseparable from the sweat and hard work of coaches and athletes, and even the support of China’s strong national strength.
Sports Law
In 2021, a number of blockbuster laws and regulations will be promulgated to escort the development of sports.
On October 19, the draft revision of the Sports Law was submitted to the 31st meeting of the 13th National People’s Congress for deliberation. This revision is the first major revision of the Sports Law since its promulgation in 1995. The draft adds rigid clauses to clarify that physical education class hours shall not be occupied, so as to ensure that students have sufficient time for physical exercise.
During the year, the “National Fitness Plan (2021-2025)”, “The Fourteenth Five-Year” Sports Development Plan and other documents were issued successively to promote the development of a higher level of national fitness and better meet the people’s fitness and health needs in the future. And make arrangements for the reform and development of sports during the 14th Five-Year Plan period and the establishment of a sports powerhouse.
In addition, the “Opinions on Further Reducing the Burden of Compulsory Education Students’ Homework and Off-campus Training” issued in July, let the burden of schoolwork be subtracted, leaving room for addition in sports.
bid farewell
The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and there are always some familiar faces saying goodbye to the beloved arena, opening a new chapter in life.
On September 1, the head coach of Chinese women’s volleyball team Lang Ping posted on personal social media announcing her resignation. Although the Chinese women’s volleyball team did not perform well at the Tokyo Olympics and had regrets, she said frankly, “Looking back on so many years of volleyball career, I feel very satisfied. ,very happy”.
The 33-year-old Argentine football star Aguero, the 41-year-old Spanish basketball player Paul Gasol, and the Filipino “boxing champion” Manny Pacquiao have all chosen to bid farewell to their beloved professional arena in 2021. Also choosing to embark on a new journey this year are the Chinese Women’s Volleyball National Team member Yan Ni, the table tennis Grand Slam winner Ding Ning, and the Taekwondo player Wu Jingyu who competed in the four Olympic Games.
The road to farewell may be consummation or regret, but as Ding Ning said, “Life has many wonderful things, and there are also unlimited possibilities.”
return
All encounters are reunion after a long absence.
There was a reincarnation in 12 years, from the age of 24 to 36. When he left that year, he was angry at the horse; now when he comes back, he is watching the world.
In September, when Ronaldo returned to Old Trafford as a Manchester United player, he was still the brightest star in the center of the stage.
Ronaldo’s old opponent and old friend Messi also ushered in the return this year-the golden ball that football players all over the world dream of returned to the Argentines. In the Ballon d’Or selection, Messi once again defeated a number of opponents, winning this award for the seventh time in a record.
The 34-year-old Messi finally completed the breakthrough that was “so close and so far” every time in 2021-leading the Argentine team to win the America’s Cup. Now Messi still lacks a Hercules Cup, next year’s Qatar, can he realize his dream?
difficult
2021 will be a difficult year for Chinese football.
The national men’s and women’s football teams drove high and low. Although the Chinese men’s football team successfully broke through in the Asian top 40 of the World Cup qualifiers, after entering the top 12 matches, only 5 points in 6 games, ranked fifth in the group, the hope of qualifying is very slim.
Although the Chinese women’s football team left in Suzhou with the story of “the moon is falling and the sky is full of frost, Gusu City and South Korea 3:4”, and won tickets for the Tokyo Olympics, they missed the group qualifying in Tokyo with one draw and two losses.
The once prosperous professional league faltered this year. At the beginning of the year, last season’s Super League champion Jiangsu Suning and other 6 clubs missed the new season league access, many big-name foreign aids have left one after another, and towards the end of the year, many clubs exposed wages arrears.
Can Chinese football be nirvana? At this moment, the unity, responsibility and wisdom of the whole industry are needed.
Gaming
In the early morning of November 7th, Beijing time, the EDG E-sports club became more and more frustrated before the game and won the 2021 League of Legends global championship. The news of the championship came and the online and offline were full of joy, allowing the Chinese people to see the powerful influence of e-sports “breaking the circle”.
In 2021, Shenzhen, Shanghai, Beijing, Chengdu, Chongqing and other cities will issue documents to develop the e-sports industry. In the 2022 Hangzhou Asian Games, e-sports will become an official event for the first time.
To the future together
“Together to the future”
“Together for a Shared Future”
On September 17, at the 140-day countdown to the opening of the Beijing Winter Olympics, the theme slogans for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics and Paralympics were announced. In the context of the global response to the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the Beijing Winter Olympics issued an invitation to the world to symbolize gathering, sharing and the future through the theme slogan.
This summer, athletes from all over the world worked bravely and chased their dreams at the Tokyo Olympics, injecting confidence and hope into mankind’s progress and coping with challenges. Next year, when the Beijing Winter Olympics opens, the world will once again be reunited under the Olympic banner, and sports will once again dissolve the prejudices and illuminate the way forward.
