In the Tokyo Olympics, 46 Shanghai athletes participated in the competition and won 5 gold medals, creating the best results in all previous Olympics. So far, the total number of Olympic gold medals for Shanghai athletes has reached 24.
Behind the athletes’ heroic posture in the Olympics, they cannot do without the “slow effort” of the Shanghai Youth Training for the past ten years.

“Combination of Sports and Education”
During the 2017-2020 Tokyo Olympics cycle, a total of 20 units in Shanghai were named “National High-level Sports Reserve Talent Base”, nine of which are “National Key High-level Sports Reserve Talent Base”, and the number is at the forefront of the country. Olympic champions Zhong Tianhe, Jiang Ranxin, Zhang Ling, Chen Yuxi, etc. are all trained by traditional sports schools.
Classes in the morning and four hours of training in the afternoon. This scene took place in a public primary school-Guangqi Primary School in Xuhui District, Shanghai. This is also the alma mater of Olympic champions Chen Yuxi, Wu Minxia and Huo Liang.
Diving is a key training project under the strategy of Guangqi Primary School’s “Integration of Sports and Education”. Based on close cooperation with the Xuhui District Sports Bureau, a large number of young athletes from the Xuhui District Diving Team will go to Guangqi Primary School.
Like Chen Yuxi, the gold medal winners of the women’s four-person scull event in rowing are Zhujiajiao Middle School and Qibao Middle School as reserve talents.
With the last shot, Jiang Ranxin, a teenager from Shanghai who was born after the 00s, partnered with veteran Pang Wei to win the Tokyo Olympics mixed team 10-meter air pistol competition. This is the first gold medal for a Shanghai athlete in the Tokyo Olympics and the first Olympic gold medal in the history of Fengxian District, Shanghai. All this stems from a determined change.
Back to more than 20 years ago, Fengxian County at that time was still a blank paper in terms of amateur training. Seeking change has become a consensus. At that time, Fengxian County used Shanghai to host the 8th National Games, and Fengxian was able to host the archery competition of the National Games. After the National Games, it began to carry out amateur training in shooting and archery. This gold medal laid the foundation.

Social power emerges
Social forces are also an important position for cultivating talents. Table tennis player Xu Xin comes from Shanghai Cao Yanhua Table Tennis Training School.
As early as 1999, Cao Yanhua and Shanghai Baoshan District Education Bureau co-founded Cao Yanhua Table Tennis Training School, relying on Yangtai Experimental School to provide table tennis schools with nine-year compulsory education integrating learning and training.
As a private school, Cao Yanhua Table Tennis School seamlessly integrates with public school Yang Tai Experiment and Shanghai University Attached High School, forming a “through-train” excellent sports reserve talent training system for elementary schools, junior high schools, and high schools.
At the same time, the student-athletes trained and transported by the “through-train” have also achieved numerous successes in major competitions.
On August 3, when 21-year-old Shanghai athlete Hu Xiaoxiao and 24-year-old Yang Xuezhe finished 16th in the Nocara 17-level sailing event, they also made history.
The team of these two young people is an Olympic team trained by social forces. It is a national team organized by private enterprises. It is a joint effort by the Chinese Sailing and Windsurfing Association, Shanghai Sports Bureau and Shanghai Meifan. Build is the first social-enterprise sailing team in the history of the Chinese Sailing Windsurfing Team. The two of them are also the first Chinese team players to compete in the Olympic Games of the event.
Xu Bin, Secretary of the Party Leadership Group and Director of the Shanghai Sports Bureau, said in an interview earlier that the training provided by social forces is of great significance to Shanghai’s continued promotion of the development of competitive sports.

Put wings for sports
The period of preparation for the Tokyo Olympics coincided with the peak period of Chen Yuxi’s growth and development. In half a year, her height grew from 1.46 meters to 1.54 meters.
In response, the Shanghai Institute of Sports Science and the National Diving Team began to conduct personalized dietary assessment and guidance, function tests and regular questionnaires to investigate Chen Yuxi’s sleep and anxiety to help athletes overcome growth and development to provide physical function and training. The challenges brought by the state.
In another piece of water in Tokyo, behind Lu Yunxiu’s gold medal in the women’s windsurfing competition, there is also the support of Shanghai’s scientific and technological power.
The technical support of the Chinese sailing team in Tokyo this time is due to Zhu Qian, a senior experimenter from the School of Information Science and Engineering, Fudan University, and his scientific research team. In order to provide a more accurate analysis report on the hydrological conditions of the stadium, the Zhu Qian team went to the field for field surveys a year before the Olympics.
For two months, the entire team was soaking in the sea every day to monitor and collect data on the wind speed and wind direction changes on the sea surface and the difference in seawater velocity and flow direction distribution at different locations on the same stadium.
During the Tokyo Olympics, in addition to conventional epidemic prevention measures, an anti-epidemic equipment jointly developed by Columbia University, Fudan University, Shanghai Institute of Major Infectious Diseases and Biosafety, and Starlight (Shanghai) Industrial Co., Ltd. became the focus of media attention. Hot spot.
This equipment, called the 222-nanometer “light vaccine“, is an ultraviolet disinfection equipment that can achieve 99.9% sterilization against viruses and bacteria and other microorganisms, especially for the new coronavirus. Unlike conventional ultraviolet disinfection equipment, this equipment is not harmful to the human body while effectively killing. This technology has also become a boost for the safe departure of the Chinese Olympic delegation.
