China News Service Client, Beijing, April 24 (Wang Yu) A month ago, the Tokyo Olympics decided to postpone it to 2021, and the Chinese legion, which was in intense preparations, was instantly involved in this historical vortex indiscriminately. Now that the clock has passed quietly for 31 days, have Chinese athletes been back on track and are ready to meet even more difficult challenges?

The Olympic countdown card on the streets of Tokyo restarts timing.

Elongated front

Teams make up for shortcomings and carve details

　　As early as April 2nd, the leaders of the project associations (sports management centers) have reached a consensus: the Olympic Games will be held for one year, which is a challenge and an opportunity to be properly addressed. The postponement of the Olympic Games has brought unprecedented challenges to the team, and continuation and maintenance of good training and competitive status have become the most serious issues in the coming year.

　　Faced with difficult times, the Chinese sports team quickly adjusted its preparation strategy, faced the problems, faced the challenges, and worked hard to adapt to the new rhythm of the Olympics. At the same time, thanks to a stable and reliable logistic support system, no matter how the external epidemic situation changes, all teams can be prepared to the greatest extent.

　　With the determination of the Olympic season and the schedules of the individual qualifying events, more and more teams are calming down, focusing their preparations on the direction of elaborate skills and tactics, making up for shortcomings and focusing on physical fitness. "We are not afraid of any difficulties, as long as there is 1% hope, we must pay 100% of the effort!" Lang Ping, coach of the Chinese women's volleyball team wrote on personal social media a few days ago.

　　On January 30, the Chinese women's volleyball team began to focus on closed training to prepare for the Tokyo Olympics. However, the event was postponed, and Lang Ping and his team members faced unprecedented challenges. Rather than complaining about yourself, it is better to act immediately. On the one hand, the Chinese women's volleyball team has carefully crafted the skills and tactics, and conducted targeted training for the main opponents; This also made Lang Ping sigh: "The girls' training was full of challenges a while ago, but in order to return to the arena, we are still devoting ourselves and going all out."

Contingency

Isolation and preparation

　　In April, the prevention and control situation of the new coronary pneumonia epidemic at home and abroad is still grim, and with the delay of the Tokyo Olympics, many teams are facing adjustments in the preparation venues and plans. Regardless of measures such as returning home or isolation, ensuring the daily life of the national team and preparing for training has become the top priority of the current stage of work.

　　At the beginning of April, the Chinese badminton team, who ended the journey to the All England Open, returned to China after many setbacks and spent a 14-day quarantine period. Even though they were unable to walk to the badminton court in the past half a month, the players still did not drop in physical training. Zhang Jun, chairman of the Chinese Badminton Association, said that during the isolation period, the physical coach arranged training plans for the players, and the coaches urged the players to train online.

　　Like the Chinese badminton team, the national gymnastics team also spent a different period of isolation and observation at the Qinhuangdao training base. Shoulder strength, one-leg balance, skipping rope, back pedaling ... The players completed dozens of multi-group training programs in the form of online videos. It not only meets the requirements of basic training and basic physical training of gymnastics, but also maintains the physical performance of the players to the maximum extent.

　　At the same time, good news came from the Chinese women's football team. Three Wuhan players Wang Shuang, Lv Yueyun and Yao Wei had successfully returned to the team and started normal training. Although the holding time of the Olympic Qualifier Playoffs is still variable, the pace of preparation for the Chinese women's football team has not been slowed down. Now, we are greeted by the full body of clang roses, which are constantly changing to meet unknown challenges.

　　Preparing for the Olympics is a systematic project. Behind the competition for gold and silver is the interlocking cooperation and effort. The postponement of the Olympics and the prevention and control of the epidemic situation have indeed brought many variables to the preparations for the war. Under heavy challenges, they have also tested the resilience of the teams and athletes. Even with planned adjustments and isolation protection, Chinese athletes are still on the move.

Ambitious

Veteran confronts adverse effects

　　"I really can't jump, I decided to retire." On April 5, Zhang Guowei, a Chinese high jumper who is about to turn 30, announced his retirement through a personal social media platform. As the top player in the domestic high jump event, the news of Zhang Guowei ’s choice to leave the field was not only regrettable, but also triggered a discussion about the adverse effect of the Olympic Games extension on the veteran.

　　Throughout the international sports arena, 30-year-old is undoubtedly a watershed moment for the career of athletes, and among the domestic teams, there are also many veterans over 30-year-old who are still the leaders in their respective projects. When news of the Tokyo Olympics being postponed for a year came, pressure and trials always accompanied it.

　　Although the Chinese women's volleyball team led by Lang Ping has successfully completed the new and old replacements in the lineup, 33-year-old Yan Ni, 30-year-old Zeng Chunlei and Liu Xiaotong and other veterans are still an indispensable part of the team and are the teachers of this king. The inside is. Today, they also face the trouble of injury and the impact of young forces.

　　A year later in Tokyo, the difficulty of defending the Chinese women's volleyball team is only a lot more difficult. Even so, the veteran of the team still chose to overcome the difficulties in the unknown and accumulate strength in preparation. In this regard, Liu Xiaotong also said that only by constantly striving to be better can he stand out from the competition in the same position and become one of the 12 people standing in the Olympic arena.

　　The postponement of the Olympics will not affect all the veterans. After entering the Tokyo Olympics cycle, Chen Long's competitive state fluctuated several times. Under Li Mao's training, he is also making changes to his style of play. This change also gave him more time to complete his new tactics. When it comes to goals, Chen Long is the highest podium for the Tokyo Olympics.

Teenager looking forward to overtaking

　　Objectively speaking, the postponement of the Tokyo Olympic Games does bring a lot of impact to athletes and teams, but the extension of the preparation time does indeed allow many young players to take this opportunity to grind more and accelerate their growth. For the breakthrough of self, we can have enough confidence to look forward to the Olympic stadium one year later.

　　As a team with young players as the team, the Chinese women's basketball team that received the Olympic tickets also strengthened the technical and tactical details and made up for the shortcomings under the leadership of head coach Xu Limin, and strived to turn the adverse effects of the Olympic Games extension into favorable. Being down-to-earth and responding calmly is a new requirement Xu Limin puts forward to the team in a special period.

　　"The things that are not encountered can only be faced, and the best things can be done in accordance with the current situation," he said in an interview with Xinhua News Agency. "The team is relatively young, and it is done on the solidity of the technology and the grasp of basketball offense and defense. It ’s not very good, you need to strengthen the details through training. Quiet and deliberate, deliberately solve these things in one place. "

　　"The extension of the Tokyo Olympics for one year will not be an impact but a better opportunity for our younger athletes who are still weak. We have to use one year to train practically and constantly improve our level of thinking and Competitiveness will lay a firmer foundation of faith and strength for the next year ’s Tokyo Olympics. "

　　The remarks made by Yang Junxuan, a member of the Chinese swimming team, expressed the wishes of many young athletes. In addition to her, teammates Zhu Menghui, Zhang Yufei, Guoping teenagers Sun Yingsha, Wang Manyu ... Young are the capital of this group of athletes to hit higher goals in the future.
