Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, April 11th question: serving the media to make the Winter Olympics wonderful

— visiting Anthony, the media operation director of the International Olympic Committee

Xinhua News Agency reporter Ji Ye Wang Yong

The Story of the Olympic Stadium, it can always stir people’s hearts, and the media is the most important carrier to make these stories spread all over the world. As Samaranch, the honorary president of the International Olympic Committee for life, said, “the media is the judge of the success of the Olympic Games”. It is an essential task for a successful Olympic Games to do a good job in media operation and serve the media so that they can finish their work smoothly.

What is media running? What role does it play in an Olympic Games? What does Xinhua News Agency mean to become an international news agency recognized by the International Olympic Committee? Anthony Edgar, the media operation director of the International Olympic Committee, gave the answer.

This week, the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics held the first world news agency conference. This is the first time that BOCOG officially introduced the progress of media operation preparations to major news organizations around the world. The nine news agencies invited to attend the meeting include the Associated Press, Reuters, AFP, Xinhua News Agency and other four international news agencies recognized by the International Olympic Committee, as well as the Gatti photo agency, the European news photo agency, the Kyodo News Agency of Japan, the United States today, world famous news organizations such as the New York Times.

Anthony said: “The representatives of these news agencies came to Beijing this time to learn about the preparations for the Beijing Winter Olympics. I exchanged views with representatives of major news agencies, and we all have very high expectations for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics.”

The media operation related to the Olympic Games mainly involves providing working environment, facilities and services for the media such as videos, texts and pictures registered in the Olympic Games. For example, the main news center and venue media center construction, photography services, as well as media accommodation, transportation, technology, network, registration, charge card, Olympic information services, etc. In addition to meeting these basic reporting needs of the media, it is also necessary to provide professional services for different customer groups, such as media workshop rental, photography and instant transmission technical support, etc.

In addition to the services for text, photography and non-rights broadcasters, another important component of media operation is the Olympic relay service, assisting the Olympic relay service company (OBS) and rights-holding broadcasters provide Olympic broadcasting and television public signals to the world’s Olympic rights-holding broadcasters.

As the largest sports event in the world, the Olympic Games attracted thousands of journalists to report. If you count the number of OBS, there are about 25000 registered media in the summer Olympics and 15000 in the Winter Olympics. The difficulty of media operation is self-evident.

Anthony bluntly said that the operation of Olympic media is to ensure that the media finish their work. “This means a lot of things. Since the media arrived in Beijing, their transportation, accommodation and communication equipment need to be guaranteed. When media come to the venue, they need to find jobs, such as photography seats, camera stands, media stands, mixed interview areas and press conferences. In short, the media operation should provide the media with the necessary services and facilities.”

After the baptism of 2008 Beijing Olympic Games and 2014 Nanjing Youth Olympic Games, the word “media operation” has increasingly entered people’s attention. Anthony pointed out that different from the 2008 Summer Olympics, the cold weather of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics will bring new challenges to the media operation.

“From the perspective of media, photography, photography and text reporters all need to deal with very low temperatures. For example, photography and camera reporters had to sit in the ice and snow and shoot alpine skiing events for 5 hours in a row. At that time, the temperature might be as low as minus 20 or 30 degrees Celsius. The reporting environment faced by the media will be very different. The organizing committee should ensure that the media are properly taken care of and the communication conditions of the media should be guaranteed.” He said.

Beijing Winter Olympics has 109 small items. It is a difficult task for a single media to achieve full coverage of the Olympic Games. Especially under the background of the sluggish media industry, many media have reduced the number of Olympic journalists. Contrary to this, in the Internet news era, in order to meet the needs of the audience, the media need to report news from different venues.

Therefore, Olympic information service (OIS) has become an important field of media operation. OIS will provide professional English sports reports and information services to help registered media receive information and achieve the maximum coverage of Olympic reports. Before the Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, this service was undertaken by the local organizing committee. For hosts whose mother tongue is not English, it is sometimes difficult to recruit hundreds of native English journalists and run an English news service.

Therefore, under the guidance of the Olympic 2020 agenda, the International Olympic Committee considers providing the organizing committee with an overall solution in areas requiring highly professional Olympic skills. The International Olympic Committee is now responsible for forming the OIS team and taking over the Olympic information service with the help of the organizing committee. The media operation department of the organizing committee will mainly focus on serving registered media, which can greatly reduce costs.

Every registered journalist can receive professional reports from OIS during the Olympic Games. Anthony introduced that OIS would not rob the media, but only help the media provide key information about athletes and competitions. These information media may not have the opportunity to obtain, such as direct quotation, expert comments, key data, real-time updated event information, etc. More importantly, OIS allows the media to cover those competitions that cannot go to the stadium, so that the Olympic Games can be spread more widely.

On January this year, Xinhua News Agency officially became the international news agency recognized by the International Olympic Committee, becoming the only new international news agency recognized by the International Olympic Committee and the first non-European and American international news agency in more than 30 years.

The International Olympic Committee divides world media organizations into two categories: international news agencies with global influence and national/regional news agencies with regional influence. Media organizations recognized as international news agencies have priority in Olympic sports reports, including ensuring sufficient registration quota for Olympic news reports, free priority of the main news center, ensure the position of text and photography interview in the stadium.

What does it mean to become an international news agency recognized by the International Olympic Committee? Anthony said that this was a very important recognition. “Over the past 30 years, the International Olympic Committee has only recognized AFP, AP and Reuters as international news agencies. There are many reasons why the International Olympic Committee has recognized Xinhua News Agency as international news agency, the main reason is that China has become a major country participating in the Olympic Games, and China is one of the largest countries in the world. Xinhua News Agency is one of the largest news agencies in the world, with branches all over the world. Xinhua News Agency not only produces Chinese content for the Chinese market, but also produces multilingual content for the international market. The International Olympic Committee recognized Xinhua News Agency as an international news agency and formed a partnership with Xinhua News Agency, thus helping Xinhua news agency to better report the Olympic movement, the International Olympic Committee, especially the Olympic Games.”

The Chinese team failed to turn the advantage into a winning trend under the circumstances of possession percentage and the number of shots. The 0:2 team lost to the opponent and failed to win the top eight.

The Chinese women’s football team ranked third in the group match, while Italy ranked third in the Group C with two wins and one loss. Compared with the last game, the starting lineup of the two teams has not changed much. The Chinese team completely followed the 442 formation in the draw in Spain, and the Italian team only made one adjustment. Bergamusky replaced Gali.

Facing the Italian team who had never played in the World Cup before, the Chinese team played actively after the opening, but it also left more offensive space for the opponent. In the 10th minute, Italy jacintti once scored a goal and was sentenced to offside. Two minutes later, Han Peng made a mistake in passing the ball, and Jia qindi missed the shot after he got the ball. In the 15th minute, the Chinese team was cut off again when they were out of the encirclement. The Italian team cooperated in the front court and copied it into the net in front of Jia qindi. In the 27th minute, the Chinese team completed the most threatening shot after the opening. Wang Yan’s volley shooting outside the restricted area was Palm tray by Giuliani. In the 32nd minute, bergamsky formed a single knife after taking over the long pass of the top. Her shot after breaking into the forbidden zone was resolved by Peng Shimeng. In the following games, the Chinese team took the initiative to create scoring opportunities continuously, but they all failed.

Yi will fight again, the Chinese team will change, and forward Yang Li will appear and replace the Guya sand. In the 49th minute, the Chinese team lost another goal.

This is her third goal in this World Cup, and all of them scored after the appearance of the substitute. After losing the ball, the Chinese team replaced Wang Yan and Wang Shanshan with Yao Wei and Song end respectively. The Italian team, which led the two goals, slowed down the pace and frequently threatened the Chinese team’s defense line with counterattacks. In the face of the Italian’s steady defense, although the Chinese team was dominant in the scene, it was difficult to create an absolute opportunity to break the door and eventually lost 0:2. Although it failed to go further, the Chinese team girls expressed their gratitude to the fans after the game, and the fans also responded with applause and cheers.

Jia Xiuquan said that taking the women’s football team to participate in the World Cup not only enriched his coaching history, but also made up for the regret of not participating in the World Cup in the player era.

Xinhua News Agency, Montpellier, France, June 25 (Reporter Wei Hua, Su Bin) in the 1/8 final of the French women’s football World Cup on the 25th, the Chinese team lost to Italy 0:2 under the circumstance of taking advantage of the scene, failed to go further. At the post-match press conference, Chinese team coach Jia Xiuquan made a long speech. He recognized the performance of the players and said that losing was his responsibility.

Facing the Italian team who returned to the stage of the Women’s World Cup 20 years later, the Chinese team was more active on the offensive side, with a total of 20 shots in the game, but the team’s mistakes in the back court led, lost one goal in the second half, and finally lost 0:2. Jia Xiuquan thinks that he knows more about the Italian team, and the Chinese team definitely has a fight. I feel very sorry for the fans who didn’t take this game.

“Football is like this, see who makes mistakes first. The World Cup is a big stage, which makes us clearly realize our own gap. The improvement of football level needs several generations, not my old Jia, not to mention my limited level. Losing is the responsibility of the head coach, and the players are all good.”

“There is a gap between Asian players’ physical condition and confrontation ability and European players. Although the Italian team looks a bit rough, its fighting skills are not bad. The next step is to think about how to improve the technology in the confrontation and shoot the ball in.”

In This World Cup, although the defensive level of the Chinese team is impressive, only YILI goals were scored in four games. The low offensive efficiency is also one of the reasons that prevent the Chinese team from going further. “If you can’t get in, the head coach didn’t practice it. Next, we will practice attacking and shooting wildly. But football cannot only defend or attack, and a balance problem needs to be considered.”

From picking up the team pointer in last May to ending the World Cup tour, Jia Xiuquan took over the Chinese women’s football team for more than a year. Looking back on his coaching experience over the past year, Jia Xiuquan said frankly that he was happy and sad. “The girls practiced a lot, worked hard and consciously, which left a deep impression on me. The team has experienced great ups and downs in the past year. I also watched the matches between the United States and France, and they also had ups and downs. This is the characteristic of women’s football, and I am also exploring how to solve this worldwide problem. Our coaching team is very sober, and we will make a good summary next.”

Jia Xiuquan said that taking the women’s football team to the World Cup not only enriched his coaching resume, but also made up for the regret of not participating in the World Cup in the player era. “I think my football career has been more than one, and the men’s and Women’s World Cup competitions are almost the same. When I was a player, I took part in almost all the matches, but I had never played the World Cup. Taking the women’s football team gave me this opportunity, which was an unprecedented experience. In my coaching career, I have taken men’s and women’s football, national youth, national Olympics, and clubs, all of which are complete. I have gained a lot this year with the women’s football team, which is also a process of learning and improving. I am very lucky that the efforts of several generations have come to me. As for the good answer, let’s comment!”

At the press conference, a reporter asked whether Jia Xiuquan would continue to lead the women’s football team. Jia Xiuquan replied humorously, “Why do you ask so early? This is too anxious. I have such feelings with the girls, and I haven’t thought about this problem yet.”

Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, March 7 (reporter Ji Ye) Yao Ming and Yang Yang, members of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), who participated in the second session of the 13th National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, appealed on the 7th, hoping that the school would continue to promote the opening of sports venues for the national fitness.

The lack of site facilities has long been a major obstacle to the development of national fitness. In recent years, through opening school sports venues and other ways, the realistic problem of “where to go for fitness” of the masses is gradually being solved. However, there are still many large and middle schools whose playground doors are closed, and the surrounding residents cannot enter the exercise.

“This involves many public safety issues, such as fitness injuries in school venues. What should I do? What should many people walk their dogs inside after the venue is open? All these put pressure on school management.” Yang Yang said. However, she also said that these can be solved in various ways, such as establishing a citizen health system through schools, sports departments and community neighborhood committees, and using management methods such as big data, continue to promote Schools to Open venues for national fitness.

Yao Ming also said that he saw many school venues locked, but locked was afraid of being injured. He suggested introducing the insurance mechanism, “opening school venues cannot depend solely on us (sports people). If introducing the insurance mechanism, these professionals may consider from the opposite direction, it is also a feasible road”.
