Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, January 22 (reporter Zhou Xin) on the afternoon of the 22nd, Zhang Lin, the first men’s swimming world champion in Chinese swimming history, came to Beijing No. 8 high school to tell the stories behind road to the Cup for his classmates, and encourage everyone to “stick to it for Dreams”.

Zhang Lin was the runner-up of the men’s 400 m freestyle swimming in Beijing Olympic Games, which achieved a historical breakthrough for Chinese men’s swimming; He won the gold medal of the men’s 800 m freestyle with the result of breaking the world record in the 2009 world swimming championships, he became the first man to swim in China, and his world record has been maintained so far.

From the experience of almost drowning when learning swimming for the first time, Zhang Lin told how to overcome her fear and become the champion step by step. “I was lucky to find my hobby-swimming when I was 6 years old. I find it very comfortable in the water, really like a duck to water. So the first step to success is to find something you love.”

“After finding your favorite things, you should invest 100% and act for your dreams. When you encounter difficulties, stick to your goals and stick to them.”

Zhang Lin said frankly that she had encountered difficulties and pressures many times. “When I was 16 years old, I participated in the 2003 world swimming championships for the first time. Because the strong opponent unexpectedly missed the record in the preliminary competition, I was lucky to enter the 800 m freestyle final. Originally, I was still smug, I didn’t expect that after entering the final, I was suddenly confused by cheer sound of tens of thousands of spectators. After entering the water, I couldn’t find my own rhythm and forgot the tactical arrangement arranged by the coach, the first 200 meters swam faster than the world record, and I couldn’t be found any more later.”

In 2005, Zhang Lin participated in the National Games for the first time and was highly expected by everyone. He was under great pressure before the Games. He was timid once, but he finally defeated himself and achieved a breakthrough.

“What to do when you encounter difficulties and pressures? It is normal to feel uncomfortable and want to cry. You can go home and cry to vent, but you still have to face life the next day and come back again. As an athlete, every lesson and every day I am breaking through my limits. I will try my best or even use my life to realize my dream step by step according to the plan.”

After retirement, Zhang Lin started the “Zhang Lin swimming club” at the 1872 Club of Beijing Youlai Park, from his personal swimming experience to guiding ordinary people to learn swimming, then to face the middle school students, his experience is: “trust teachers, trust parents and believe in yourself. Especially the higher your trust in the teacher, the greater your chances of success. Be sure to cherish your youth now and stick to it for dreams!”

Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, April 27: under the initiative of “One Belt and One Road”, the “flower of sports” is everywhere

Xinhua News Agency reporter

The second “One Belt and One Road” International Cooperation Summit Forum was held ceremoniously in Beijing at the same time, at the World Table Tennis Championships held in Budapest, the capital of Hungary, Chinese table tennis players and players from countries and regions along the “Belt and Road” have forged deep friendship inside and outside the stadium.

43-year-old Serbian veteran ya Calaca Shevich suffered from the Grand Slam winner Malone in the first round and soon lost four games in a row. He did not complain about the bad luck of signing, he praised Malone as “the best athlete in the world” and was very happy to play tricks with him.

Malone also admired this veteran and praised his “sportsman spirit. At the same time, for this veteran from countries along the “Belt and Road”, Malone also has a sense of “intimacy”, feeling that “silk road brings each other closer”.

Calaca Shevich is also the chairman of the Serbian Table Tennis Association. He hopes to bring the level of Serbian table tennis to the previous level and cultivate more excellent young athletes. “I hope China can help us and bring excellent coaches to Serbia, which is what we need.” In Calaca, as a country along the Belt and Road Initiative, Serbia’s cooperation with China is not only economic and cultural, but also sports exchanges and cooperation.

In fact, as calaca Shevich expected, under the Belt and Road Initiative, china’s “national ball” table tennis has become a bridge and link between China and people in countries and regions along the “Belt and Road”, and has injected new vitality into the construction of “The Belt and Road.

Papua New Guinea is the first country in the Pacific island region to sign a memorandum of understanding with China on the construction of “The Belt and Road Initiative. At the end of last year, Olympic champion Zhang Yining and meritorious coach Shi Zhihao came to BA Xin Training Center of China table tennis college of Shanghai Institute of Physical Education to guide local table tennis students.

“The students here like table tennis very much. Many of them like China through table tennis.” Zhang Yining said that table tennis is not only a sport, but also a bridge and link for communication. As a table tennis player, I am willing to share the glory of “national ball” with the world.

Besides table tennis, other projects also play their own unique roles. Football, which is devoted to the most enthusiastic Chinese, also has a distinctive mark of “One Belt and One Road. As early as the end of 2017, the European Youth Training Center of Chinese football (Czech) was unveiled, which was the first youth training center of Chinese Football Association in Europe. Du Zhaocai, Party secretary of the Chinese Football Association, said in an interview with Xinhua News Agency that the Chinese Football Association plans to open three to four youth training centers in Europe, the important reason for choosing the first youth training center in Czech is that the leaders of the two countries attach great importance to the football exchange between China and Czech, which is also one of the important cooperation projects of “The Belt and Road Initiative” initiative.

In April this year, Xie Jun, the former “chess queen” of the world, took the post of chairman of China independent area of the Asian Chess Federation. She believed that chess, as an intellectual gymnastics, had a very powerful comprehensive function. No matter in humanities communication, education, cultural communication, or now with the development of artificial intelligence in science and technology, it can play an important role. Especially in the construction of “The Belt and Road Initiative” and the project of connecting people’s hearts, chess can play the role of serving the public communication. “I believe that as a Chinese independent area, under the leadership of the International Chess Federation and the Asian Chess Federation, we should better play its role on the international stage and spread more Chinese wisdom and experience.”

“The Belt and Road Initiative” sets up a broad stage for sports, and sports communication has also become an important carrier to show the theme of “The Belt and Road Initiative” initiative. Nowadays, there are more and more sports activities and exchanges with the theme of “The Belt and Road Initiative” at home and abroad. The starting point of the ancient Silk Road in Xi’an is the “Belt and Road” International Marathon of Xi’an City Wall in Shaanxi. Runners from countries and regions along the “Belt and Road” travel through time and space and run from history to the future. Yunnan, facing Southeast Asia, has the “Colorful Yunnan Belt and Road” International Football Invitational Tournament. In Xinjiang, the main town of Silk Road, there is the “Belt and Road” International Table Tennis Invitational tournament…… The National Tourism Administration and the State General Administration of Sports also jointly issued the “One Belt and One Road” sports tourism development action plan, forming a batch of boutique sports tourism events, characteristic sports and leisure projects in the relevant areas of the “One Belt and One Road, competitive sports tourism enterprises and well-known sports tourism destinations.

Zhong Bingshu, president of Capital Institute of Physical Education, said that the interaction between Chinese sports and world sports built a bridge of communication in its own unique way and made unique contributions.

Zhou Qingjie, director of the sports foreign exchange research center of the Diplomatic Academy, who founded activities such as “martial arts carnival of the embassy in China” and “The Belt and Road Initiative” National Ambassador Sports Forum in China, thinks, an important purpose of sports diplomacy is to cooperate with the country’s overall diplomacy and create a good, stable, safe and favorable environment for China’s reform and opening up.

“The intersection of the country lies in the blind date of the people, and the blind date of the people lies in the connection of the heart ‘. To do sports diplomacy well is to make more and more friends in China. We should not only gather consensus and work together, but also unify our goals and give full play to the unique role of sports diplomacy in connecting people’s hearts.” Zhou Qingjie said.

National Football Team “gather together” people and horses to speed up preparations

上海 Leave a comment

(Reporter Xiao Yi) at 6 pm on March 17, the rain in Nanning stopped. The Chinese men’s football team preparing for the China Cup International Invitational Tournament finally “gathered” all 23 players. As the new man Lü Wenjun said, “coach Cannavaro requires us to speed up our training”, and this team has been preparing for the battle with full speed in a very limited time.

Since the afternoon of the 17th, it will not rain any more in Nanning, and the better weather will also bring favorable conditions for the preparation of the national football training team. It is worth noting that Tan Long, who was absent from training before, and Liu Yang, who joined the team from substitute Jiang to Peng, all appeared at the training site. In this way, all the 23 members of the national football training team finally arrived, which created conditions for the whole team to conduct a full range of confrontation exercises.

Like He Chao, Lü Wenjun also mentioned the leadership characteristics of Cannavaro and the concept of strict team rules he instilled in the team. He said: “Coach Cannavaro is usually humorous, but the training ground is very disciplined. He also specifically asked us to switch quickly in training and even drink water faster.” It is not difficult to see from Lv Wenjun’s statement that Cannavaro cherishes time. Since the whole team has only five days of training from the first practice of the team on the 16th to the opening match of the China Cup against Thailand on the 21st, as a team with a new combination of generals, it is very important for the members to run in each other. In other words, Cannavaro may not have time to refine the technical and tactical concepts to the players, so he must arrange the lineup and formation. Therefore, he must grasp and make good use of every minute during the training.

In order to improve the training efficiency, Cannavaro is still in the training process, and even demonstrates the tackle action. Lü Wenjun also explained, “Maybe he is the reason for the defender’s background, and do more demonstration of back-court defensive actions”. As for Wu Lei, a former club teammate and friend who was unable to return to China because of his stay in the Spanish league, Lü Wenjun said, “Wu Lei has already congratulated me and hopes that I will play well in the national team”.
