Subheading) A number of Olympic tickets to celebrate the "70th birthday".
At the Chinese gymnastics team world championship listing ceremony and the 70th anniversary of the founding of the national gymnastics team held at the end of this year, generations of Chinese gymnasts gathered together to celebrate the "70th birthday" of the Chinese gymnastics team.
For gymnastics, this year's experience was unusual. Due to the conflict between the gymnastics competition time of the Hangzhou Asian Games and the World Championships in Antwerp, the gymnastics team had to divide into two teams and form two sets of male and female lineups to participate in the Asian Games and the World Championships respectively. In the face of difficulties, the Chinese gymnastics team united as one, fought bravely, and finally ended with 8 golds, 3 silvers and 4 bronzes in the Asian Games, and finished with 2 golds, 3 silvers and 2 bronzes at the World Championships.
2023 is also a year in which the Chinese rhythmic gymnastics team will go down in history. At the World Championships, the Chinese girls won the gold medal in the five laps of the collective event and truly had the world champion of rhythmic gymnastics. At the same time, the team event directly won the ticket to the Paris Olympics, and the individual event locked in an Olympic quota. This will also be the first time in 8 years that the Chinese rhythmic gymnastics team has qualified for the Olympic Games in both collective and individual events.
The Chinese trampoline team also had a smooth ride this year: the Hangzhou Asian Games won 2 gold medals, 7 Olympic gold medals in 4 World Cup competitions, 2 golds and 3 silvers at the World Championships, locked in the Paris Olympics in advance of 2 full qualifications for men and women, and became the first team to get a full quota for the Paris Olympics.
Looking to the future, preparations for the Olympics are seizing the day.
Due to the one-year postponement of the Tokyo Olympics, the preparation time for the Paris Olympic cycle is shorter, and this year's winter training is the last window before the three national teams prepare for the Paris Olympics. Therefore, all teams should not only strengthen physical training, improve the level of competition and actual combat ability, but also make overall use of the compound support team, and do a good job in injury prevention and control through more scientific training plans and more thorough recovery and protection means while increasing the difficulty and load in training.
The Paris Olympics are full of masters, and the competition is bound to be fiercer. The Chinese gymnastics team has established a coaching staff responsibility system under the leadership of the team committee, clarified the candidates for the head and deputy leader of the coaching team of the men's and women's teams, and strived to make the team's management and operation mechanism smoother and more efficient. At the same time, the gymnastics center also plans to invite international high-level experts and referees to give advice on the team's preparation.
For the trampoline team, next year's Olympics will be a complicated competitive situation. According to the existing data analysis, except for the British women's trampoline 33-year-old veteran Paige, who is slightly inferior in height, the other main competitors have the characteristics of difficulty and high height. Therefore, before this year's winter training, the team formulated a one-person-one-policy preparation plan for the Paris Olympics for key players. The women's key players should continue to strengthen the objective hard power such as difficulty, height, and displacement, and the men's key players should make great efforts in the design of complete sets of movements, objective hard power, and the stability of the game.
Compared with the European teams, the basic skills of the Chinese rhythmic gymnastics team are not strong enough, so sufficient training time and quality are particularly important. The girls of the art and sports team generally train for 10 hours a day, and if they don't practice well, they will practice more. In this year's winter training, the coaching staff needs to grasp the direction of technical development under the new rules, create difficult movements with high scores and originality, and continuously improve the scoring of complete sets of movementsThe team members need to improve their posture control ability, action performance ability and emotional expression ability, so as to lay a solid foundation for high-standard and high-quality presentation of complete sets of movements.
In addition, the three major gymnastics events have officially started preparations for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games this year.
Subheading) To high-quality development, "big gymnastics" seeks a broader world.
In line with the goal of building a sports power in 2035, physical operation is a basic sport, not only to win gold and silver in the field of competition, to win glory for the country, but also to take root at the grassroots level and serve the masses.
Recently, we have also been in close contact with various places, hoping to contribute to the construction of a strong sports country in 2035 by building a strong city in gymnastics, a strong province in gymnastics and even a strong country in gymnastics. Chang Cheng, deputy director of the Gymnastics Sports Management Center of the General Administration of Sports of the People's Republic of China, said.
The National Gymnastics Grading Competition is a competition platform for the integration of sports and education explored and established by the Gymnastics Center. Up to now, a total of 48 sessions of the 2023 National Gymnastics Level Competition Levels 1 to 5 have been held, with nearly 10,000 people participating. The contestants range from 4-year-olds to 42-year-olds.
Gymnastics itself is a basic sport. It can exercise basic physical fitness, improve body agility, flexibility, coordination, so every time there is a district-level and municipal-level competition, our children who practice gymnastics are particularly top-notch, and other sports such as track and field, football and so on are particularly popular. Qingdao Tengsheng Sports Club coach Hu Lina said.
In the non-Olympic field, aerobics, tricks, cheerleading, line dancing, square dancing, parkour ......Chinese gymnastics strives to truly open up a broader world by providing more and better quality national fitness services. With the help of the Internet, activities such as the National Trampoline Time and Space League, the parent-child cheerleading online competition, and the "I do practical things for the masses" National Fitness Public Welfare Network Classroom have penetrated into the masses and truly entered the homes of ordinary people.
Full participation and national health are also one of the six goals of China's high-quality gymnastics development system proposed by the Gymnastics Center this year. Its purpose is to allow more people to enhance their physical fitness and better meet people's yearning for a better life by participating in gymnastics-related activities.
Of course, in addition to the mass fitness activities to reach a new height, the six goals of China's high-quality gymnastics development system are to reach a new level of competitive performance, the development of reserve talents to enter a new stage, new achievements in industrial development, new progress in project culture construction, and new contributions to foreign exchanges.
This is the "dream of a strong country in gymnastics" for Chinese gymnasts. (ENDS).
