People misunderstand the Olympic spirit

“What people value most is the economic results that can be achieved by hosting the Olympics.” Scholars such as Zhang Ze, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, said that at present, too much attention is paid to the economic significance of the Olympic Games, and economic benefits are regarded as the primary goal of hosting the Olympic Games.

This kind of interpretation and organization of the Olympic Games is far from the purpose of the Olympic Games. The value and function of the Olympic Games in education have been ignored, especially the moral influence and humanistic education function of the Olympic Games have been downplayed, which goes against the original intention of bidding for the Olympic Games.

This phenomenon is related to the lack of popularization of Olympic education. Professor Liu Limin, Vice President of the First Normal University, and Professor Li Yingchuan, Vice President of the Capital University, believe that before the resumption of joining the Olympic Games, Chinese universities did not have a comprehensive and systematic "Olympic Movement" textbook. After joining, Olympic publications still could not meet the demand.

Moreover, the Olympic Games is a system that is constantly changing and constantly injecting new elements. It requires educators to continuously track the development of the Olympic Games and constantly add Olympic information. However, in fact, timely follow-up is not achieved. Starting from elementary school, students have to bear a lot of academic pressure, and physical education subjects are often not taken seriously. Naturally, Olympic education cannot occupy an important position in school education.

In addition, it is also related to the weak national sports awareness. Professor Mao Zhenming said that surveys show that China’s sports population only accounts for a little more than 1/3 of the country’s total population. The main reason for the small sports population is that the traditional concept of "valuing culture over martial arts" is still deeply rooted today. In addition, some media ignore the social and ethical value of the Olympic Games and only focus on sports stars, which has misled the public, especially young people.
