Recently, the crackdown on fan culture chaos in the sports world by the General Administration of Sport has become a focal point of attention. Athletes such as Wang Chuqin have actively cooperated in disbanding their fan groups, and against this backdrop, the merits and demerits of Liu Guoliang's role in the development of the national table tennis team have sparked intense discussions and in-depth scrutiny. The national table tennis team's feat of sweeping five gold medals at the Paris Olympics is undoubtedly a significant achievement in the history of Chinese sports. During his tenure as head coach, Liu Guoliang led the team with remarkable coaching skills and tactical arrangements, forging numerous glorious moments and making indelible contributions to the enduring success of China's table tennis. However, after assuming the position of chairman of the Chinese Table Tennis Association, the situation subtly changed. Some argue that the team began experiencing internal attrition during this period, with hidden crises undermining its strength behind the achievements. Taking the "three golden flowers" of the women's team—Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu, and Chen Meng—as examples, we can clearly discern the issues at hand. Sun Yingsha, endowed with exceptional talent and superior skills, should have shone even brighter on the court, but was swept into an excessive hype vortex due to the implementation of a grand marketing plan. The over-marketing packaged her as a champion, burdening her with heavy psychological pressure before she had truly reached that level. In the Olympic women's singles final, after a crushing performance in the first game, she experienced mental breakdowns in…

The 2024 season has come to a close, and during this period, China's sports industry has flourished, achieving remarkable accomplishments. Notably, at the Paris Olympics, China tied with the United States for the most gold medals, setting a new record for the best performance in an overseas Olympic Games. These achievements are the result of the hard work and dedication of Chinese athletes. Recently, the top ten international athletes of 2024 were announced, but surprisingly, Ma Long, the legendary star of the national table tennis team, did not make the list, with only one Chinese athlete being selected. The athlete who made the list is Zheng Qinwen, which sparked heated discussions among netizens. Some questioned why Ma Long, as a key player for the national table tennis team, failed to make the top ten athletes list. This raises questions about whether the selection criteria are based on athletic ability or influence, and what exactly are the standards for international sports awards? Let's take a closer look at the overall performance of both athletes in the 2024 season. Zheng Qinwen reached the finals of six different levels of women's tennis events in 2024, winning three championships and finishing second in three others. Her world ranking reached a new high, placing fifth. Especially at the Paris Olympics, she won the women's singles championship, becoming the first Asian athlete to achieve this honor and creating history. In terms of commercial achievements, Zheng Qinwen earned a staggering $30 million in the 2024 season, making her the highest-paid female athlete globally. Tennis is a mainstream…

The director of the National Sports General Administration Volleyball Management Center, Li Quanqiang, has been investigated by the sports bureau for serious violations of discipline and law. Li Quanqiang's investigation two years after his retirement has also raised doubts among the public about Lai Yawen. After all, in the volleyball management center, Lai Yawen was once the second-in-command, and within nine years, two consecutive directors of the department were investigated and removed from office, which has made the volleyball management center itself a controversial place. After two "leaders" were investigated and dealt with, Lai Yawen, as the top leader, instead joined the coaching team to serve as an assistant coach to Cai Bin, which is indeed confusing. After all, Lai Yawen is Cai Bin's superior, and now helping out is not without suspicion. It must be said that whether it is Pan Zhichen, who is not a professional sports person but a private teacher, or Li Quanqiang, a sports person, they have both received widespread recognition from society. The former once served as the deputy director of the General Administration's Competitive Sports Department, while Li Quanqiang held office for 10 years. It can be seen that both sides belong to the intertwined corrupt forces. Now that both sides have been investigated and dealt with one after another, it is inevitable to make people suspicious. When Pan Zhichen was in charge, he was very resistant to media interviews. The external reason was that he was not a professional and it was difficult to describe clearly. Li Quanqiang, on the other hand,…

China's First Female Olympic Champion, After Serving as a Deputy Section Chief, Is Still Unfulfilled and Later Relocates Her Family to the United States Introduction: Our country's first female Olympic champion, who brought glory to the nation, should have been respected by everyone. However, in reality, she has been controversial. During her Olympic career, she achieved excellent results. After retiring and entering politics, she rose to the rank of deputy section chief, which is indeed an enviable life experience, but it was all achieved through her own efforts. Unexpectedly, she was not satisfied with this and later resigned resolutely, moving her family to the United States. So, who is she? And why did she make such a choice? Accidental Encounter Becomes Olympic Champion: Wu Xiaoxuan's connection with shooting sports was purely accidental, stemming from a neighbor's invitation. In 1973, at the age of 15, Wu Xiaoxuan was asked by a neighbor if she wanted to go shooting. The conditions were simple: good eyesight, big eyes, and a well-proportioned figure. Coincidentally, Wu Xiaoxuan met these conditions and thus stepped into the door of the Hangzhou Shooting Club. Upon her first contact with shooting, Wu Xiaoxuan was deeply attracted to the sport. Shooting requires focus, steady hands, and maintaining the position of the gun when pulling the trigger, which made her feel capable. Perhaps due to natural talent, the club's coach quickly invited her to stay for training. Thus, Wu Xiaoxuan began her indissoluble bond with shooting. However, professional shooting training is no easy feat. Transitioning from amateur to professional means facing…

Two days ago, a news story about the Paris Olympic medals topped the trending list, quickly sparking heated discussions among netizens. Olympic medals are supposed to be symbols of infinite honor, yet over 100 have been returned to Paris in disgrace. Some jokingly said that the bronze medal they received resembled a piece of "crocodile skin." Others were more supportive, claiming it wasn't a medal but a hundred-year-old Parisian antique. This caused netizens to exclaim that Paris has truly embarrassed itself this time, with the shame spreading globally. So why are so many medals being returned? If there's anything that can validate an athlete's efforts and achievements, Olympic medals are undoubtedly the most powerful proof. When once-celebrated athletes find themselves in trouble, medals can also serve as a quick way to make money. Athletes who have fought hard for their honors on the field return home only to find their medals rusted. This makes most athletes feel very uncomfortable, leading some to return their rusted medals. This isn't the first time this has happened; soon after the Olympics ended, people started returning their medals. By the 13th, British newspapers reported that over 100 gold medals had been returned. The next day, the international Olympic Committee addressed the issue, stating that all problematic medals would be replaced. Last August, French athletes noticed this phenomenon shortly after receiving their medals, saying they looked "smashed and oxidized." Some medals even began discoloring before the Olympics concluded. Harper mentioned that her bronze medal had lost its luster and was starting to fade. When the…

China's national badminton team is currently participating in the India Open Badminton Championships, where they have sent many outstanding players to compete. Among these athletes, there is a particular focus on the men's doubles pair known as the Liang Wang combination, who are also ranked first in the world. Despite their less-than-stellar performance at the previous competition, they have shown great form at this event. During the India Open, the Liang Wang duo demonstrated their prowess on the court. With a score of 21-12, 19-21, and 21-15 against Wang Yaoxin and Zhang Yuyu, they managed a 2-1 comeback, including an impressive 21-12 victory that showcased their potential for the future. This explosive performance has led to speculation about whether they could win gold at the Los Angeles Olympics. Some netizens believe that with such a fiery display on the court, the top-ranked Chinese badminton pair might have a chance at winning the Olympics in Los Angeles. While it is acknowledged that they have a good shot at challenging for the championship, there is still some distance before they can claim the Olympic title. It is hoped that they will continue to work hard and prove themselves. For this young pair, they have already achieved a silver medal by reaching the finals at the Paris Olympics. In the new Olympic cycle, it is hoped that they will perform even better and strive to reach the finals and compete for the championship at the Los Angeles Olympics. Fans will continue to cheer them on, believing that they can steadily create miracles. Currently,…

In the eyes of every professional athlete, reaching the Olympic stage is the ultimate goal, and winning a medal in the Olympic competition is seen as the pinnacle moment of their career. However, recently, many athletes who won medals at the Paris Olympics are finding it hard to be joyful. On January 14th, news that over 100 Paris Olympic medals were returned quickly trended on social media, leaving many netizens surprised: Why would these athletes, who worked so hard to win medals, have them taken back half a year later? In fact, the decision to recall the medals was not the original intention of the French Olympic Committee; it was only after many athletes voiced their concerns that France agreed to take back the medals. As early as mid-August 2024, American skateboarder Houston, who won a bronze medal, posted a video online claiming that just ten days after receiving the medal, its condition had significantly deteriorated, with the plating starting to peel off and the surface looking dull. Subsequently, a member of the French relay swimming team also shared their bronze medal online, finding that its condition was even worse than Houston's, with severe oxidation and paint peeling, leading netizens to jokingly compare it to "crocodile skin" or a newly unearthed "ancient relic" from Paris, but it was hard to believe this was a medal won just half a year ago. In fact, two weeks after the opening of the Paris Olympics, the organizers knew there might be issues with the medals. Irish rower Lynch revealed that his medal was…

The women's volleyball league has reached the 18th round of the first stage of the playoffs, yet the head coach of the national team remains elusive, with fans and analysts speculating on potential candidates such as Cai Bin, Lang Ping, Chen Fang, Kuang Qi, Zhao Yong, Wang Zhiteng, Zhu Ting, and others. However, there has been no definitive news, causing concern among fans. The official platform of the Shanghai Volleyball Association published an article titled "Shanghai Volleyball Sports Center Holds a Coaches' Seminar - Cai Bin Attends the Meeting," which states: "This seminar invited Cai Bin, the head coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team and the training director of the Shanghai Volleyball Sports Center, to exchange experiences on athlete training and preparation with all coaches, discussing how to maximize victory for the team based on practical combat situations." The article confirms Cai Bin's identity as the head coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team, and he also holds the position of training director for the Shanghai Volleyball Center. After Lang Ping stepped down following the Tokyo Olympics, Cai Bin took over and worked alongside Lai Yawen, who served as the deputy director and director of the Volleyball Management Center during the Paris Olympics. Although they only achieved fifth place, the overall performance of the Chinese women's volleyball team was commendable. They defeated the reigning champions from the Tokyo Olympics and the eventual silver medalists at the Paris Olympics, the United States women's volleyball team, as well as two-time World Championship winners Serbia and host nation France, advancing to the…

In 2019, Shim Suk-hee, known as the "Queen of Short Track Speed Skating" in South Korea, took her former coach to court. Shim accused the coach of repeatedly sexually assaulting her, and it began when she was still in high school, leading to a four-year-long abuse. Even on the eve of competitions, he did not let her go. After the incident came to light, it sparked heated discussions among netizens. No one expected that Shim, one of South Korea's most famous athletes who had won multiple world championships for her country, would suffer such injustice behind the scenes. Who exactly is this beastly coach, and what was the outcome of the situation? After the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, where Shim Suk-hee won the gold medal in the women's relay event, she filed a lawsuit against her coach, Cho Jae-beom. The reason was that Shim had endured seven years of unwarranted beatings from coach Cho Jae-beom, including four years of sexual assault. This news immediately caused a stir among netizens, as it was this coach who had been with Shim since elementary school until she became famous and won championships. Shim started skating when other children were just learning to walk, and she could already glide smoothly on the ski slopes. Her parents also discovered her potential and began to fully cultivate her as a short track speed skater. In 2012, at the age of only 15, Shim made her international debut and won two gold medals in the 500m and 1000m events. That same year, at the World Junior Championships,…
