"Ziwei has excellent performance, courage to take responsibility, and high spirits. They show the era style of our sports people and the powerful spiritual power of new sports..." This is after the end of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics on February 21. Xu Gang, a professor at the Sports Training Department of Beijing Sports University, pulled Ren Ziwei back to the WeChat group and posted the content in the group.
Ren Ziwei is the "Double Gold King" of the short track speed skating mixed team 2000m relay and men's 1000m at the Winter Olympics.
In addition to winning two gold medals, what brought Ren Ziwei to the Internet search was the information that he was kicked out of the class group chat by the teacher during the competition.
As a student of the 2021 champion class of Beijing Sports University, Ren Ziwei chose the postgraduate course offered by Xu Gang in the fall semester of 2021, the special course on sports competition, with 32 credit hours.
Xu Gang was the teacher who kicked him out of the group.
A reporter from China Youth Daily and China Youth Daily recently interviewed Mr. Xu Gang exclusively.
Xu Gang said that, in fact, it is not accurate to say that Ren Ziwei was kicked out of the group in order to delay his assignment.
By the time of the Beijing Winter Olympics, Mr. Xu's class had already ended.
Ren Ziwei was kicked out of the group because after he won the first gold medal at the Winter Olympics, his classmates blessed him in the group, lined up to "pat" him, and Ren Ziwei also politely replied in the group one by one, Xu Gang was worried that "too much excitement will also consume his energy" and affect Ren Ziwei's subsequent games, so he removed him from the WeChat group.
In this Winter Olympics, Ren Ziwei's short track speed skating team participated in a total of 9 events. Ren Ziwei's second gold-winning competition and the first competition were only two days apart.
Kicking out of the group chat is a "routine operation from a professional point of view." As an international referee in the kayak slalom event and deputy director of the Beijing 2008 Olympic Organizing Committee canoe competition, Xu Gang said that the physical strength of an international competition like the Winter Olympics It consumes a lot, especially after the game, there are still many programs, and there are other games behind Ren Ziwei, so he needs to provide him with a quiet environment.
"Major competitions are more about mentality and details." Xu Gang said.
When talking about why he added Ren Ziwei back after the Winter Olympics, Xu Gang said that he believed that conveying the Olympic spirit to the classmates around him was also the responsibility of the Olympic champion, so he brought back Ren Ziwei and asked him to share with the classmates in the group. Exchange more.
Since the championship class of Beijing Sports University was established in 2003, many outstanding sportsmen have studied there.
In addition to the normal postgraduate admission standards, there is a very "Versailles" rule: athletes and their coaches who have won individual and collective championships in the Olympic Games, World Championships and World Cups.
There are twenty or thirty students in the champion class every year. They take classes with students from Beijing Sports University, complete the core courses, general courses and thesis assessments together, and can graduate only after passing.
Ren Ziwei chose Xu Gang's special course on sports competition. This course describes the characteristics of sports competitions, how to design, organize and implement sports competitions.
Xu Gang said that many students in the champion class will take this course.
What impressed him more was that the students of the champion class "reactive very sharply".
"They play games, so they are very clear about the entire operating system of sports competitions. He has compared the original game and the new game. He knows what the original game needs and what the new game needs." Xu Gang said.
"Those who can win such top championships in sports competitions are all well-rounded people with very smart brains." Xu Gang said, like Ren Ziwei, many students in the championship class are also active athletes. Completion of postgraduate studies.
As an athlete, the hard work of training and competition is self-evident. As a student of BSU, the selected courses cannot be left behind.
Olympic champions also need to balance physical training and cultural studies.
Xu Gang said that when preparing for the Winter Olympics, Ren Ziwei will use his spare time to study special courses in sports competition through online courses.
In addition to the 32-hour course in one semester, group discussions and homework are also required for the special topic of sports competition.
Many students in the champion class conduct professional training during the day and use their spare time to complete their homework at night.
"They study very seriously and put in a lot of effort." Xu Gang said that he treats all students equally and will not "release water" just because who is the champion.
In Xu Gang's view, excellent athletes have excellent willpower.
After the training, they will spend more time on their own learning, put in more effort, and privately communicate with the teacher about the problems they encountered in their learning.
Xu Gang believes: "It is also a good thing to read while competing. It is equivalent to learning and practicing at the same time. You can connect the knowledge you have learned with your own practice."
The younger generation of athletes is showing more possibilities in life.
They are both professional athletes on the field and students on a college campus.
Sweat on the training ground and write papers after cultural classes. For these high-level athletes, they are also planning for their future lives when they are developing their careers in competitive sports.
The Olympic champion is not the end of life. After the professional sports career is over, in Xu Gang's view, what teachers need to do is to connect the athletes' sports training efforts and gains with their future career development.
In the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, there are also many students who graduated from the champion class of Beijing Sports University, who have transformed from former athletes to event managers and behind-the-scenes workers. Olympic medals.
As former athletes, they apply their game experience and familiarity with sporting events to their work.
As a teacher, Xu Gang expressed his hope that the students of the champion class will have a more systematic and comprehensive understanding of sports and the direction of their training through the study of postgraduate courses. possibility".
The Olympic champion who has come to a perfect curtain call from the arena may turn into a coach of a new generation of Olympic champions, an administrator of a sports event, or a teacher in a sports academy.
"Culture courses are very important for the cultivation of sports talents. By learning these courses, athletes can integrate their sports development, training development and the development of the whole career together."
"The country has always attached great importance to the long-term development and professional development of athletes. We have also been considering what athletes can do after they retire and what our class can bring to them." Xu Gang said that in recent years, the country's economic strength has developed It is also accelerating the construction of a sports powerhouse. Sports carry more and more energy and functions, and the public has more and more needs for sports.
In Xu Gang's view, the goal of building a strong country in sports gives young people more opportunities and more opportunities for athletes. At the same time, after the development of the country, there are more and more sports events and cultural activities, so that children can be exposed to sports from an early age to exercise. , No matter whether you become an Olympic champion or not, sports are very helpful for the all-round development of children.
