The concept deeply rooted in people's hearts and the practice has a long way to go - Looking at the integration of sports and education from the Chengdu Universiade
2023-08-14
The Chengdu Universiade concluded on the 8th. Nearly three years after the release of the "Opinions on Deepening the Integration of Sports and Education to Promote the Healthy Development of Teenagers" (referred to as the "Opinions"), Chinese college athletes who have fought at home have demonstrated the phased achievements of sports and education integration with their outstanding achievements. The public's understanding of sports and education integration is gradually deepening, and the construction of high-level sports teams in universities and the practice of sports and education integration to promote the construction of a strong sports country still have a long way to go. Student athletes and athlete students complement each other in the field of university sports. People often refer to high-level athletes who grew up in ordinary schools and mainly participate in training in their spare time as student athletes, while those active or retired athletes who have achieved outstanding athletic results and then studied in universities are referred to as athlete students. At the Chengdu Universiade, these two types of athletes, which coexist in the context of sports and education integration, complement each other and contribute to the excellent achievements of the Chinese delegation. Hu Zhenzhuo, a male volleyball player who served as the flag bearer of the Chinese delegation at the opening ceremony of the Chengdu Universiade, is a typical representative of student athletes. He studied at Jingshan School in Beijing and Tsinghua University, insisting on learning and walking on two legs while playing basketball. While balancing his undergraduate studies, he also participated in training and competitions for the Beijing men's volleyball team in his spare time. In the women's basketball, athletics and other events of the Chengdu Universiade, high-level athletes independently trained by universities have performed outstandingly. The Chinese team, which won the gold medal in the women's basketball team, was formed based on the Beijing Normal University women's basketball team. Liu Yutong, Tang Ziting, Li Shuangfei, Su Yuanyuan, and others were independently trained student athletes from universities such as Beijing Normal University and Tsinghua University. Xia Yuyu, who won the women's 10000 meter gold medal at the Universiade, and Huang Huafeng, who won the bronze medal in the men's triple jump, are independently trained student athletes from Tsinghua University and Huazhong University of Science and Technology. The former was selected by Professor Cao Zhenshui from the track and field team of Tsinghua University in Guizhou during his middle school years, and later studied at Tsinghua Affiliated High School and Tsinghua University in Beijing. The growth of the latter is attributed to Yu Changqing, the head coach of the track and field team at Huazhong University of Science and Technology, who also trained Su Xiongfeng, the men's long jump champion at the Shenzhen Universiade. On the other hand, the athletes and students who mainly focus their time and energy on the sports team are the main force competing for gold and silver for the Chinese delegation at the Universiade. Taking Shanghai Jiao Tong University as an example, Li Bingjie, Liu Yaxin, and Zhou Kai from the university have made important contributions to the Chinese team's gold medals in swimming and table tennis. Many Chinese athletes who strive for gold and silver in swimming, diving, shooting and other events are the main players of the current national team. Wang Kun, Director of the Sports Department of Shanghai Jiao Tong University, stated that the school has always attached great importance to the coordinated development of cultural learning and professional training for athletes and students, designing personalized and customized training plans for them. Without lowering the standards of cultural courses, courses are arranged for them through door-to-door delivery and a combination of online and offline methods. For example, Han Xu, a female basketball player who plays in the United States, adopts an online teaching method. It is worth mentioning that athlete students Yao Ming, Liu Guoliang, and Zhang Jun who studied at Shanghai Jiao Tong University later became the presidents of the China Basketball Association, the China Table Tennis Association, and the China Badminton Association, respectively. According to Liu Bo, Director of the Sports Department of Tsinghua University, after years of hard work in athletics, Tsinghua University, Peking University
