Committee members Yao Ming and Yang Yang called for continuing to promote Schools to Open venues for national fitness

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”.

The International Olympic Committee has greatly increased the number of women’s boxing participants in the Tokyo Olympic Games.

The International Olympic Committee announced on the 19th that the number of women’s boxing events in the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games will increase from 36 to 100 in the Rio Olympic Games, and the number of participating events will also increase from three to five in Rio, the chances for the Chinese delegation to win the first women’s boxing gold medal will be greatly increased.

Xinhua News Agency, Lausanne, Switzerland, June 19 (Reporter Prince Jiang) The International Olympic Committee announced on the 19th that the number of women’s boxing events in the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games will increase from 36 to 100 in the Rio Olympic Games, the number of participating events has also increased from three to five in Rio, and the chances for the Chinese delegation to win the first women’s boxing gold medal will be greatly increased.

The IOC made the above decision at the executive committee meeting held here that day. The IOC sports director Kate McConnell announced the specific matters at the press conference after the meeting. He said that the total number of boxing athletes participating in Tokyo Olympic Games has not changed compared with Rio Olympic Games, and it is still 286. However, in order to ensure gender balance, the number of women’s events has increased from three to five, the number of participants increased from 36 to 100, and the number of men’s projects decreased from 10 to 8, and the number decreased from 250 to 186.

However, these decisions of the executive committee still need to be approved by the IOC plenary session held on June 22 before they can be effective.

If the number of women’s events and participants increases, the hope of Chinese athletes winning the championship will increase greatly. At the Rio Olympics, the Chinese team sent three players to participate in the women’s boxing project and won one silver and two bronze.

McConnell revealed at the press conference that the Olympic qualifying match for boxing will be held from January to May 2020, the host city will be selected from the cities that have hosted the Olympic games or have obtained the qualification for hosting the Olympic Games. Asia and Oceania jointly hold a qualifier in one region, and the competition date is from January to April. The number of participants in each continent will be allocated according to the results of the past two Olympic Games and two world championships.

The reason why boxing projects have received attention on the executive committee of the International Olympic Committee is that the International Boxing Federation has been in constant internal disputes over the past year. Since the end of last year, the International Olympic Committee stopped recognizing the status of the International Boxing Federation in the International Olympic Committee, and boxing was once in danger of losing the qualification to participate in the Tokyo Olympic Games. Last month, after investigation, the IOC executive committee decided to retain boxing as the Tokyo Olympic Games competition, but at the same time canceled the qualification of the International Boxing Federation to organize the operation of the Tokyo Olympic Games.
