On the evening of the 15th, the 14th National Games officially kicked off at the Xi'an Olympic Sports Center.
With more competitions approaching, athletes have also arrived in the National Games Village one after another.
In the previous Tokyo Olympics, Chinese athletes ranked second in the gold medal list and the medal list with 38 gold, 32 silver, and 18 bronze, with a total of 88 medals.
The outstanding performance of the Olympic athletes in Tokyo has attracted wide attention from the outside world.

This enthusiasm continued to the National Games. As a sports feast in China, the National Games once again attracted the attention of many sports fans.
And just before the opening of the National Games, there was an episode outside the stadium.
On the evening of the 13th, Fan Zhendong, a national table tennis player who contributed 1 gold and 1 silver at the Tokyo Olympics,
borrowed the fan club account to speak on social media platforms, calling on fans to chase stars rationally.
On the 13th, national table tennis players Fan Zhendong, Liu Shiwen, and Xu Xin set off from Guangzhou and Shanghai respectively to the National Games venue.
According to the content posted by Fan Zhendong on the Weibo of the Fan Club, chaos occurred at the airport that day, “the scene continued to be very undesirable crowding, physical contact, and so on.”

In this statement, Fan Zhendong expressed his gratitude to the enthusiastic fans.
But at the same time, he also called on fans to rationally support their favorite athletes,
and said that outside the arena, as an ordinary person, he also needs private space.
As soon as this matter came out, it immediately sparked heated discussion.

In fact, after the Tokyo Olympics, similar things happened from time to time.
Yang Qian, who shot the first gold medal for the Chinese delegation in the Tokyo Olympics, is so popular that her card issuance of the same style is very popular, and in the messages and comments on social media, "earth-flavored words" often appear.
Faced with the phenomenon of netizens "speculating CP", Yang Qian said that it is good for everyone to have fun, but don't take it seriously.
This summer, the 14-year-old Quan Hongchan’s name is remembered by too many people.
In the women's 10-meter platform final of the Tokyo Olympics, she demonstrated perfect take-off, elegant air posture and almost magical water pressure technique. In the 5 rounds of the game, Quan Hongchan won 3 full marks and won the championship.
The villagers shouted and cheered for Quan Hongchan in front of the TV.

After that, Quan Hongchan's home became a holy place for all netizens to check in, and even at night, there will be non-stop live broadcasts.
Quan Hongchan’s father Quan Mao said, “They have the heart (it’s okay), so don’t bother them anymore. It affects their lives and also affects our lives.”
Indeed, with the rapid development of the mobile Internet and the increasing influence of sports in national life, people's attention to the sports field has increased a lot compared to the past.
This year coincides with the Tokyo Olympics, the National Games and many other sports competitions being held one after another. The outstanding performance of the athletes on the arena has attracted the enthusiastic cheers of many netizens.

Slowly, the rice circle culture began to permeate many sports.
When love crosses the boundaries of rationality, it will bring negative effects.
When everyone regards athletes as their own "idol", but disregards social order and epidemic prevention policies to cause chaos on the scene; when everyone wants to show their love and affects athletes' normal life and preparations; when in the field of sports, When the "slobber war" in the rice circle also appeared,
cheering for the athletes also changed the taste.
At this time, we can't help but ask: Do you still remember why I regarded athletes as idols in the first place?
In the final of the men's table tennis team at the Tokyo Olympics, the Chinese team defeated the German team 3-0 to win the championship.

I believe that the answer for most people is: outstanding results.
In the final analysis, there are differences between sports athletes and traffic stars and idols.
In the competitive sports arena, "speaking with performance" is still the main theme
. In order to show a better self in the competition, athletes strictly control their diet, train hard, and prepare for the battle in isolation...
For active athletes, how to maintain a good competitive state and continuously realize their inner champion dreams should be an unchanging topic.
The encouragement from fans will help athletes become more powerful.
But when "star chasing" crosses the boundaries of rationality, and when traffic blessing surpasses the initial love, who can guarantee that it will not be counterproductive?

Looking at the dream team in the history of the Chinese Olympics, whether it is a national table tennis team, a diving team or a weightlifting team, from hundreds of daily training on land and water to Chairman Liu Guoliang’s internal training, everyone is always awake to face their opponents. , It is the day-to-day training and positive attitude that have made the highlight on the court.

In the face of athletes who have achieved great results, what we need to send out is applause and praise. While seeing the players' performance, we can also understand the hardship behind them.
All of this must be kept within the scope of reason, only then is true love.
The "circle" of the sports circle should not be the "circle" of the rice circle.
