In the last two days before the end of the Olympic Games, the national teams also entered the final sprint stage of the gold medal.

However, at this time, the advantage of the Chinese team has completely ended. In the remaining two days, there are no more projects that can be rushed. However, with the current number of 32 gold medals, the Chinese team is also satisfied to open the mode of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight.

The U.S. team naturally ranked first in the gold medal table with strong strength. This time, the Chinese team surprisingly still sat in the second position. Since September 22, the Chinese team has climbed to this position in one fell swoop and has never come down again. For 10 consecutive days, he sat in the second place in the gold medal table, which shocked the whole world.

Is this still the same Chinese team that has been tepid in performance? Although in the last two days, the Chinese team has no project to win gold again. But this time, the number of gold medals of 32 has doubled compared to the previous two Olympic Games!

Amazing!

This is the only feeling that countries have about the performance of the Chinese team this time in this Olympic Games! Wow your opponents! Wowed the audience! It amazed the world!

This time, the Chinese team broke out in addition to its own advantageous events such as shooting, gymnastics, weightlifting, badminton, table tennis and diving. In the previous disadvantaged events such as track and field, a huge breakthrough has also been made. In every previous Olympic Games, the Chinese team has won a gold medal in track and field at most. But this time, there are five gold medals.

Regardless of whether the Chinese team can maintain the second position in the gold medal table in the end, it is a great victory. So now, even the third-ranked Russian team is starting to play catch-up. However, the mentality of the Chinese team is also very stable.

What if they are caught up by the Russian team? Then you're not the third in the gold medal list? Compared with previous sessions, not only has it improved by one place in the gold medal list, but even the number of gold medals has doubled. These are all hard erection results! With these things in hand, everyone is happy......

……

In the last two days, Russia, which ranked third in the gold medal list, really started a great imperial counterattack. In Russia's most dominant women's track and field event, she has won several gold medals in a row.

Finally, before the end of the Olympic Games on October 1, the Russian team finally increased the number of gold medals in this Olympic Games to the same 32 as the Chinese team. However, with the number of silver and bronze medals far exceeding the Chinese team, Russia jumped to second place in the medal table.

The Chinese team was overtaken by their opponents on the last day and unfortunately fell to the third place in the medal table. The hosts, Australia, also took advantage of the home advantage this time. Defeated the old powerhouse Germany and finished in fourth place in the medal table.

Finally, when all the events of this Olympic Games are over, the medal tables of each country are officially released.

The U.S. team finally occupied the first place with 35 gold, 26 silver and 31 bronze, a total of 92 medals; The Russian team ranked second with 32 golds, 28 silvers and 28 bronzes, with a total of 88 medals; The Chinese team ranked third with 32 golds, 16 silvers and 15 bronzes, with a total of 63 medals;

The host country, Australia, rose to fourth place with 16 golds, 25 silvers and 17 bronzes, with a total of 58 medals; The German team only fell to fifth place with 13 golds, 17 silvers and 26 bronzes, with a total of 56 medals.

As soon as this medal list came out, although it also made the Chinese people excited, there were also many people of insight who were excited and realized that the Chinese team still had great shortcomings.

Director Yuan Weiming, head of the Chinese delegation to the Sydney Olympics, is such a person.

。。。。。。

After the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games, the main officials of the Chinese team, team leaders and coaches also held a brief summary meeting.

At the conference, in addition to briefly summarizing the brilliant achievements made in the Olympic Games and emphasizing the discipline on the last day in Sydney tomorrow, Director Yuan Weiming also made a brief comment on some problems existing in the Olympic Games.

"This time, though, we have a historic 32 gold medals. Even compared to the top-ranked American team, it is only 3 gold medals short. However, in terms of the total number of medals, it is not at all on the same level as the American team and the Russian team! ”

"Even compared to Australia and Germany, who are behind us, we don't have a clear advantage in the total number of medals! What does this mean? ”

"It shows that the overall level of our Chinese team is actually not much different from the Australian and German teams. This time we played well, so we had a little more gold medals and we were in the front. If we don't play well next time, we will probably fall again! ”

"So, comrades, now is not the time for us to be complacent and arrogant!"

"In addition, we won a lot of gold medals at this Olympics. However, I guess everyone has also noticed that most of these gold medals are still concentrated in those old advantageous events. In other words, if these events are not played well, then our gold medal count will drop significantly. It's worth our attention......"

"In the basic disciplines of athletics, swimming, canoeing and rowing, we are still at an absolute disadvantage. Together, there were nearly 120 gold medals in these events, but we only won 5 of them! The other gold medals were basically divided between European and American countries. ”

"That's the gap! Only by getting more gold medals in these basic categories can we be called a sports power! There's a long way to go......"

"In the end, it was this time that we had a significant decline in some projects that we originally had an advantage in. Swimming, volleyball, women's football and other events can be said to have completely lost their competitiveness. This also requires deep reflection after we go back......"

……

After listening to Song Ping's relay, Guo Zizhao couldn't help but silently like it in his heart!

Director Yuan is right, the ranking on the gold medal list doesn't mean anything. If you want to truly become an influential sports power, you still have to work those basic categories! Otherwise, even if you win more gold medals, you still don't have enough confidence to speak in the IOC.

After all, the influence of skill competitions in the world is still much worse. Moreover, these competitions are also very easy for others to do if they want to mess with you. The experience of the Chinese team being hacked in previous Olympic Games also fully illustrates this point.

However, although it is easy to say, it is not easy to really make a breakthrough in these projects.

First of all, from the perspective of race, the yellow race is indeed not dominant in this regard. Because of their wide skeleton, wide shoulders and long arms, and moderate body fat percentage, Caucasians are naturally suitable for swimming, kayaking, rowing and other water sports.

Black people, on the other hand, are very suitable for track and field events such as running and jumping because of their higher bone and muscle density, long legs, and the lowest body fat percentage.

Yellow people, on the other hand, are somewhere in between, with more average attributes. Although it is not as strong as black people in terms of bone and muscle strength, and not as good as white people in terms of body size, it is slightly better than the first two in terms of flexibility and neuroresponsiveness. Therefore, it also has an innate advantage in skill competitions.

Moreover, even the domestic sports environment is not optimistic. For the advantageous projects that can win the championship, not only the leaders attach great importance to it, and the investment of manpower and material resources is a lot, but the enthusiasm of the people is also very high. On the contrary, for some basic projects that lack the strength to win the championship, the prospect is not clear, or the need for long-term investment, the degree of attention is much lower.

After all, for the leaders in charge of sports at all levels, it is a hard achievement to have the achievements and championships that can be taken during the term of office.

Even in the previous life, the Chinese team has gone through nearly ten years of hard work, and it was only around 2010 that it began to make qualitative breakthroughs in major events such as track and field and swimming.

But now, Guo Zizhao hopes that with his own intervention in this life, he can make the development of Chinese sports in these sports faster and smoother......
