As the second most populous country in the world, India's performance in the Olympic Games is almost lackluster. Up to now, there are only 1 men's shooting gold medals in the Beijing Olympic Games in history, and the Indian people are not good at sports. In addition to the influence of their own culture, there is also the poor performance of Indians at the Olympic Games. The disappointing performance at the Olympic Games made most Indians lose their attention to the Olympic Games, which further failed to stimulate the concept of national sports.
The concept of "patient" can be said to be deeply felt by China people. Before the beginning of modern history, we were called "the sick man of East Asia" by the west. Because the national strength was weak during the Qing Dynasty, the people's nutrition could not keep up. At the same time, the country has no energy to develop social sports, which leads to the lack of existence of China sports in the world. Similarly, after China won the first gold medal, that is, Xu Haifeng shot that gold medal, China began to perform on the historical stage of the World Olympic Games.
With China's constant impact on Olympic gold medals, the number of people who pay attention to sports in China is also increasing. It is precisely because of the continuous concern for sports and the sense of glory after winning the gold medal on the Olympic stage that the national anthem keeps echoing in the world media, allowing more people to participate in sports, devote themselves to sports and have a huge pool of sports talents. In this way, in the Olympic Games, we will have more main players to win gold medals, which is a virtuous circle. The gold medal in the Olympic Games has promoted people's participation in sports, and more sports talents have participated, which has enabled China to have more reserve talents to win gold medals on the Olympic stage.
The growth of Olympic gold medals is of great benefit to the promotion of national sports, especially after 2008, the upsurge of national fitness sports and the continuous opening of gymnasiums in major cities across the country are all related to the popularization of the concept of national sports after the Beijing Olympic Games, so Olympic gold medals are essential in the competitive era.
After the end of World War II, the two world wars made all mankind see the destructive power of war. Later, countries can achieve results through peaceful struggle and will never choose war, because the cost of war is the highest. Now every country, for its own benefit, except war, is a means of media discourse, economy, sports and politics.
In these sports competitions, the biggest exhibition stage is the Olympic Games. The predecessor of the modern Olympic Games was ancient Greece, and wars broke out in every city-state year after year. In order to avoid more casualties, the city-states headed by Athens and Sparta agreed to hold the Olympic Games every four years. No one is allowed to start a war during the Olympic Games, and no political activities are allowed during the games, which is also the origin of the modern Olympic movement.
It is said that there is no politics under sports, but modern western countries did not have the initial intention of establishing the Olympic Games in Greece. The modern Olympic Games has already surpassed pure sports, because at the Olympic Games, we can not only see the highest sports quality of representatives of various countries and nationalities in modern times, but also get a glimpse of the development status of the corresponding countries.
The so-called competition in the stadium is actually whether the citizens of a country really have the highest competitive strength. This competition for the highest competitive strength is actually whether the citizens of a country ensure that they have enough food and clothing to develop sports. Excellent athletes are not only daily exercises, but also good logistics teams and scientific and effective training methods. These competitions are actually the comprehensive strength of a country.
Another aspect that can better reflect national strength is the contrast of black technology. As we all know, many American swimming teams are physically disabled and determined, and most of them are "asthma patients". Most of the "asthma pills" eaten later are actually "stimulants" developed by American medicine to improve athletes' myocardial rate. The United States has the strength to develop them, but they are not on the list of banned drugs of the International Anti-Doping League, so American athletes can "take drugs" aboveboard.
Similarly, the high-tech suit developed by the United States before 20 10, the swimming pool shark suit, has not improved the strength of swimmers. The birth of this shark suit made the American swimming team dominate the Beijing Olympic Games with absolute strength. Later, European countries developed more advanced shark clothing, and the United States immediately applied to FINA to ban shark clothing. From these events, we can all see that the United States and other western countries actually won the gold medal by hook or by crook.
Therefore, the "gold medal uselessness theory" is only the self-deception of the weak. Only by paying more attention to the gold medal and using it to enhance the sense of national honor can we better stand in a higher position on the international stage.
If the United States and the Soviet Union were absolute superpowers during the Cold War of the last century, they were also absolute giants at the Olympic Games. Except in the early days of the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the essence of the Olympic Games is the competition between the United States and the Soviet Union. The modern Olympic Games itself has transcended the essence of sports, and it is more like an extension of the political, discourse and influence contests of various countries.
Why is it an extension of politics? Because the host of the Olympic Games can display its own culture through the Olympic Movement, stimulate local tourism to increase its own income and enhance its international image, whether the same host can win the recognition of all participating countries to participate in the Olympic Games is also an important symbol to measure the success of this Olympic Games. This is why the United States and the Soviet Union boycotted each other during the Cold War and did not participate in the Olympic Games held by the other side.
The right to speak is also an important symbol of the Olympic Games. We all know that all previous American athletes have violated the rules and finally appealed successfully. The important reason is that western countries such as the United States and Europe occupy the majority of the Olympic referees. I don't think it is possible to say that the referee himself is unbiased on the court. A large number of referees from western countries or countries friendly to the United States have actually increased the weight of the United States' right to speak at the Olympic Games in disguise.
The influence comes from the excellent performance of athletes on the field and the competing reports of media in various countries. Most modern media are controlled by America and Europe. Any act of throwing dirty water or arbitrarily biased reporting is common in western media. We should know that our athletes, through years of hard work, have become a recognized sports power in the world, which has laid the foundation for us to enhance our influence on the field. Guo Jingjing's trip to Tokyo Olympic Games as a judge in this Olympic Games is an important example in the future.
In terms of media influence, it is still our weakness at present. We should know that there are many black histories of western athletes, but many international articles selectively ignore them and deliberately exaggerate the flaws of athletes, especially those from Russia and China. Russian athletes are not allowed to compete in the name of the country, and it is the reports of western media that play a major role in fueling the situation.
Although China was promoted as a new Olympic power at the Olympic Games, even though it is important to advocate fair competition and happy competition, it cannot be generalized, which led public opinion to go astray and lost the "wolf nature" of the desire for gold medals. At any time, any society should be proud of the strong, not lying flat, but focusing on participation. Therefore, for the gold medal, we still walk all the way and let the national anthem resound through Tokyo. This is the most wonderful thing.
