Which athletes add luster to the motherland?

16 Asian Games will close tonight. In addition to the rattan ball, men's and women's marathons and women's volleyball that ended today. As of last night, 47 1 events have been completed in all 476 events of this Asian Games. Next, I would like to introduce the sports delegation of China to the friends who attended the press conference.

16 Asian Games is the one with the largest number of events and participants in the history of the Asian Games, and it is a concentrated display of the sports development level of Asian countries and regions. As of165438+1October 26th, * * * 28 countries and regions won gold medals and 36 countries and regions won medals. The Asian Games * * * set three world records, namely, Ping 1 world record and 12 Asian record, which reflected the general improvement of Asian sports level. In this Asian Games, the China sports delegation fully demonstrated its competitive level and spiritual outlook, successfully completed its entry tasks, achieved its scheduled entry objectives and achieved the following achievements.

First, most of the projects of the delegation have played a very good role and achieved good sports results.

By the end of 10/0/65438 at 0: 00 on October 27th, the China sports delegation had won a total of gold 198, silver 1 18 and bronze 98, with a total of 4/kloc-0. In weightlifting, shooting, swimming and cycling, 1 person surpassed two world records twice, 1 person tied 1 world record, and six people set eight Asian records nine times.

Some projects stand out. Swimming won 24 gold medals in 38 events in this Asian Games. Not only won the most gold medals in the history of participating in the Asian Games, but also reached the world level in many events. * * * This year, five events ranked first in the world, four events ranked second in the world, and three events ranked third in the world, especially men who have been lagging behind for a long time. It reflects that swimming events have made remarkable achievements in grasping the law and breaking through innovation. Liu Xiang, a track and field event (Weibo official website Blog), got out of the trouble of injury and once again showed her elegant demeanor, winning three consecutive championships in the Asian Games in an excellent state. The men's 100m won the gold medal in the Asian Games for the first time, and the men's 4× 100m relay won the gold medal again after 20 years.

China table tennis team won seven gold medals again after 32 years following the 1978 Asian Games in Bangkok. The badminton team won 5 gold, 3 silver and 2 bronze in the Asian high-level competition, and the gymnastics team won 13 gold, 7 silver 1 bronze, surpassing the last Doha Asian Games. Although the diving team did not encounter strong challenges, it showed great difficulty and high level with the new and old lineups, and won all the gold medals. After the Beijing Olympic Games, those projects that showed our Olympic advantages were not complacent and relaxed, so we continued to make progress. It also reflects that these projects have successfully completed the alternation of old and new, showing the ability of sustainable development.

Trampoline, synchronized swimming, kayak slalom, beach volleyball and other events have fully developed their level, not only winning all the gold medals, but also showing the level of international competitiveness in some events. Rowing swept all the gold medals in the competition; The women's boxing who entered the Asian Games for the first time won three gold medals; Modern pentathlon, sailing and tennis have also achieved good results.

Men's and women's basketball and women's hockey showed tenacious fighting spirit and style, and after many fierce competitions, they defended the Asian Games champion.

Women's handball achieved the breakthrough of gold medal zero in the Asian Games; The women's water polo team that participated in the Asian Games for the first time won the championship, and the women's rugby team that participated in the Asian Games for the first time also won the silver medal. Softball won the silver medal, better than the last Doha Asian Games.

The China Women's Volleyball Team, which attracted much attention from fans, overcame many difficulties and reached the final.

This Asian Games has added traditional national sports in many Asian countries and regions. Every sports event has rich cultural connotations from its origin to its development and popularization. The traditional sports of every nation originate from the soil of national culture and contain the essence of national spirit and culture. Putting these events into the Asian Games reflects the purpose of hosting the Asian Games, that is, through the promotion and dissemination of these events, promoting cultural exchanges between Asian countries and regions, showing the diversity of Asian sports culture, and enhancing mutual understanding and friendship between countries and nations. Some of these events have just been introduced into China, and China sports delegation participated in these events for learning and communication, so that we can exercise and learn new things. China team performed well in sports dance, martial arts, dragon boat, karate, billiards, chess, rattan ball and soft tennis. Some projects won gold medals when they entered the Asian Games for the first time, and some projects made historic breakthroughs when they participated in the Asian Games.

Secondly, by participating in the Asian Games, I got all-round exercise and accumulated experience in participating in comprehensive competitions.

Table tennis, badminton, judo, taekwondo and archery are traditional advantages of Asia in the world, and the Asian Games is also the highest level competition in the world. In some competitions of this Asian Games, the athletes are equal in strength and level, and every gold medal is hard-won. The competition was brilliant. Players from all over the world stood the test and got exercise in the competition, which contributed to improving the overall level of Asia.

After the Beijing Olympic Games, many sports changed from old to new, and a group of young athletes became the core of the team and took on heavy responsibilities. It is the first time that 67% of the athletes of the China Sports Delegation participated in a comprehensive international competition like the Asian Games. Some young athletes showed a high level when they participated in the competition for the first time, such as shooter Yi Siling, weightlifter Wu Jingbiao, cyclist, gymnast Lu, swimmer Sun Yang and Ye. Young athletes not only stood the test and won the gold medal, but also created good results. Of the 197 gold medals won by the delegation, 127 were won by young athletes who participated in comprehensive competitions for the first time. Participating in the Asian Games gave them exercise, accumulated experience and enhanced their confidence.

Third, display a good spiritual outlook, display the national image, and enhance friendship with Asian countries and regions.

China sports delegation attaches great importance to the cultivation of athletes' spiritual outlook and sports ethics. In the preparations for the Asian Games, the first task is to abide by the rules, respect opponents, referees and spectators, and educate the people on etiquette. Strictly require the participating teams to show the sportsmanship and morality of fair and honest participation, and show the image of the host delegation. Before the Asian Games, the men's basketball team fought hard in the warm-up match and conducted in-depth ideological education. Before the opening ceremony, soccer player Wang's abuse of fans through his personal blog was dealt with promptly and decisively, which not only educated himself, but also warned the teams, and also made the participating sports teams of the delegation learn from it and continue to strengthen education and management.

China athletes not only struggled tenaciously on the field and achieved good results, but also fully demonstrated their spirit of self-confidence, self-improvement, daring to challenge strong players and being brave in fighting. In and out of the Asian Games, China athletes are aggressive and go all out, while respecting their opponents, referees, spectators and national customs and religious beliefs of various countries and regions. It shows good manners, the fine traditions of the Chinese nation, and the young, sunny, healthy and open image and tolerance of China athletes. The wrestler carried his injured opponent off the peak, touched everyone on the scene and won wide acclaim from public opinion. At the opening ceremony, during the competition, at the flag-raising ceremony and in the post-match news interviews, the athletes behaved appropriately, spoke politely and treated others warmly, so that people in Asia and the world could once again understand the open, democratic, civilized and progressive China through the performance of China athletes.

During the Asian Games, the Chinese Olympic Committee and its delegation carried out extensive friendly exchanges with foreign countries, gathered together with athletes from various countries and regions, passed on friendship, learned skills, strengthened mutual understanding and trust, promoted mutual cooperation, and made joint efforts with Asian countries and regions to contribute to the improvement of Asian sports standards.

Fourthly, by participating in the Asian Games, I tested the preparations for the London Olympic Games, found out the gaps and problems, and made clear the direction of efforts.

The comprehensive competition is the best test of training, competition, management and spiritual outlook.

After China Sports achieved excellent results in the Beijing Olympic Games, it remained calm, did not dare to slack off, and devoted itself to the preparations for the London Olympic Games. The China sports delegation has achieved good results in this Asian Games, which is a test of the effectiveness of our work in the first two years of the London Olympic cycle. At the same time, we are soberly aware that although the China sports delegation has won more gold medals, most of the gold medal winning events are not competitive in the Olympic Games, except for some events that have reached the world level, and the achievements of some events are far from the current world level. Even if a few events have achieved world-class results, the Asian Games are different from the Olympic Games in terms of competition mode, venue atmosphere and contestants, which does not mean that they can also play at this level in the Olympic Games.

Although the overall performance of China sports delegation is excellent, some events are not satisfactory. Shooting, fencing, weightlifting, judo, rhythmic gymnastics, canoeing in still water, wrestling and track and field performance have dropped compared with the last Asian Games. On the one hand, it reflects the rapid promotion of athletes from other Asian countries, and at the same time, it also reflects that some of our projects still have gaps in training concepts, echelon construction, competition organization, competition style and team spirit. These problems all reflect that some of our teams have a gap in understanding and grasping the special laws of competitive sports.

Basketball, volleyball, football and other collective ball games are deeply loved by the masses and have great social influence. This Asian Games, except for a few events, has made progress, but some events have not performed well. The results of men's and women's football and men's volleyball have declined, while men's handball and baseball have not improved. Although some events have won gold medals, the gap between the technical and tactical level and the world's top teams is still widening.

From these problems, we can see that the situation of participating in the London Olympic Games is very grim, and we should not be blindly optimistic, let alone slack off. The delegation and the participating teams will carefully summarize, further find out the problems and study and formulate measures to solve the problems.

China sports delegation can get good results. We think it is because the country is rich and strong and sports are prosperous. The development of competitive sports in China is the result of China's reform and opening up, economic development, continuous improvement of comprehensive national strength, and vigorous development of sports and other undertakings. Secondly, China is a populous country, and the development of sports should adhere to diversity and be more extensive; Thirdly, the government should also provide services to meet the needs of young people for diversified sports.

Under the leadership of the OCA, this Asian Games has been a complete success, showing a vibrant and harmonious Asia. The people of Guangzhou, the host country, have made great efforts for the success of the Olympic Games. The competition organization, venue facilities, service reception, opening ceremony and large-scale activities of the Asian Games have all reached the first-class level, providing good conditions for athletes from Asian countries and regions to participate in the competition and achieve great success. The vast number of volunteers are conscientious and conscientious, and we can feel their thoughtful service and see their warm smiles everywhere. Here, on behalf of the Chinese Olympic Committee and the China Sports Delegation, I would like to express my gratitude to the OCA and the GAGOC for their efforts in hosting the Asian Games successfully and their contributions to the development of Asian sports. I would like to express my sincere thanks and high respect to the volunteers who have worked hard for the success of this Asian Games.

The Guangzhou Asian Games has aroused widespread concern in Asia and the world, and the media in various countries have reported a lot about the Asian Games. In particular, China media reported that the number of journalists and coverage of the Guangzhou Asian Games exceeded that of previous Asian Games. The China sports delegation has maintained good communication and cooperation with friends in the international and domestic press, and gained the understanding and support of the press. The news media made a comprehensive and objective report on the participation of China sports delegation in this Asian Games. Actively promote the sportsmanship of athletes' tenacious struggle and courage to climb the peak, and create a good public opinion atmosphere for the delegation. Here, on behalf of the China Sports Delegation, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to my friends in the press!
