What is the connection between sports competition and national spirit?

I. Challenging the limit, transcending oneself

In my opinion, sports competition is like climbing a mountain, everyone has to start from the foot of the mountain and climb upward one step at a time, and very few or almost no one (even Yao Ming did not start from the foot of the mountain of the CBA, and so far has just climbed up to the middle of the mountainside of the NBA!) Can be born with the mountainside or the top of the mountain! So, every upward climb is a challenge, are a environment and their own transcendence, and the greatest joy of sports and the spirit of this is precisely.

And, in a way, it is human beings continue to "challenge the limit, beyond the self" to create a rich and colorful, dazzling sports, think about it, those rock climbing, parkour, roller skating, parachuting and other human extreme sports and F1 and other mechanical extreme sports are not due to the human challenge and transcendence and the creation of their own. Challenge and transcendence and produced? Therefore, I think that "challenge the limit, beyond the self" is the spirit of sports and blood, only adhere to this spirit of sports can continue to develop!

ps: in fact, for this spirit of sports origin, our great Olympic has been clear, that "higher, faster, stronger" slogan is not the most incisive summary of this spirit!

One, challenge the limit, beyond the self

In my opinion, sports is like climbing a mountain, everyone has to start from the foot of the mountain one step at a time upward climb, few or almost no one (even Yao Ming is not from the foot of the CBA, so far, just climbed up to the NBA's halfway up the mountainside it!) Can be born with the mountainside or the top of the mountain! So, every upward climb is a challenge, are a environment and their own transcendence, and the greatest joy of sports and the spirit of this is precisely.

And, in a way, it is human beings continue to "challenge the limit, beyond the self" to create a rich and colorful today, dazzling sports, think about it, those rock climbing, parkour, roller skating, parachuting and other human extreme sports and F1 and other mechanical extreme sports are not due to the human challenge and transcendence and the creation of their own. Challenge and transcendence and produced? Therefore, I think that "challenge the limit, beyond the self" is the spirit of sports and blood, only adhere to this spirit of sports can continue to develop!

ps: in fact, for this spirit of sports origin, our great Olympic has been clear, that "higher, faster, stronger" slogan is not the most incisive summary of this spirit!

Three, unity and hard work, *** to create brilliant

If the individual sports emphasize their own talent and hard work, then the group sports are more emphasis on "unity and hard work".

Ode to Sport

Pierre Coubertin

Oh, sport, the joy of the gods, the driving force of life. Thou art suddenly hideous in the gray forest clearing, the sufferer, thrilled. Thou art in defense of the radiant messenger, smiling greetings to the twilight years. You are like the morning sun that appears at the top of the mountains, illuminating the dim earth.

Ah, sports, you are beauty! You mold the human body to become noble or vile, depending on whether it is led to degradation by shameful desires; or nurtured by the power of health. There is no beauty without proportion and harmony. Thou art unrivaled in harmonizing the two; in making the human body move in a rhythmic manner; in making the movements graceful, and the softness contain the firmness.

Ah, sports, you are justice! You reflect the pursuit of social life is not listed in the fair and reasonable, no one can not exceed the speed of a minute, over the height of a minute, the key to success, can only be physical and mental integration.

Ah, sport, you are courage! The whole meaning of muscular exertion is to dare to fight. If not for this, what is the use of being agile and strong? What good is muscularity? The courage we speak of is not the brute force of the adventurer who bets it all, but the careful deliberation that goes into it.

Ah, sport, you are honor! Honor is won justly and impartially, and slowly and meaninglessly. There is a man who plays the unseemly trick of deceiving his fellows. But deep down he suffers the tattoo of shame. The day he is recognized, he will be brought into disrepute.

Ah, sport, you are fun! When I think of thee, my heart is filled with joy, my circulation is intensified, my thoughts are more open, and my organization becomes clearer. You can make the life of a sad person easier, and you can make the life of a happy person sweeter.

Ah, sports, you are the fertile ground for nurturing mankind. By the most direct means, thou strengthenest the constitution of the nation, and pamperest the deformed body; thou preventest disease from occurring, and enlightenest the athlete: and hopefully the offspring will grow strong and vigorous, and will go on to win the laurel victories." "Ah, sport, you are progress! For the day-to-day progress of mankind, physical and mental improvement are to be grasped at the same time.

You prescribe good habits and demand that people be alert to excesses. You admonish people to follow the rules and to utilize the human capacity to amplify without damaging the healthy muscles.

Ah, sport, you are peace! You forge pleasant bonds in the flesh of all peoples. Thou art born of tempered, organized, skilled physical competition, whereby the youth of the world learn to respect and learn from each other, and whereby different national characteristics become the driving force of noble and peaceful competition.
