The host country of the Olympic Games, that is, the host country, can add a few events by itself? How many sports can be added? The slow process of commercialization has become an unspeakable pain. Wushu has a long way to go to enter the Olympic Games. 09:27 May 7, 2007 The slow commercialization of Southern Metropolis Daily is the main reason. It can only appear in Beijing as an "ad hoc project" that takes advantage of the host country. Many host countries have incorporated their national skills into the official Olympic events. For example, in 1964, Japan took advantage of the Tokyo Olympic Games to list Japanese judo as an official event; 1988 Korea is also a favorable opportunity to seize the Seoul Olympic Games and list its own national taekwondo as an official competition. However, as the national sport of China, Wushu encountered many difficulties when it entered The way of the Olympic Games. After consultation with the Olympic Committee, it was finally decided last year that Wushu will appear in the Beijing Olympic Games in a special capacity, which is different from 28 official events and not a performance event, but presented as a special event named "Beijing Olympic Wushu Competition". There will be ten gold medals in the regular competition, excluding Sanda, but the medal style will be different from the official Olympic competition. A few days ago, the reporter interviewed Wang Xiaolin, director of the Wushu Sports Management Center of the State Sports General Administration, about the difficulty of Wushu entering the Olympic Games. Wang Xiaolin said that the "commercialization" of the Olympic Games is the main reason why Wushu missed the official Olympic events. He also said that although China Wushu has taken root in more than 100 countries and regions in the world, there are strict conditions to become an official Olympic event. Previously, 14 events applied to enter the Olympic Games at the same time as Wushu, but it coincided with the implementation of the "slimming plan" by the International Olympic Committee, which undoubtedly increased the difficulty for China Wushu to enter the Olympic Games. However, the International Olympic Committee has issued new evaluation criteria for new events, which makes the road for China Wushu to enter the Olympic Games even longer. Wang Xiaolin said that the previous criteria would examine how many members a project had, whether it was spread across five continents and whether there were world champions. The new evaluation criteria pay more attention to the TV broadcast rate and relay rate of the project, ticket income, sponsorship and support of internationally renowned large enterprises, etc. It can be seen that whether competitive sports have commercial promotion value and market selling point has become a new consideration for the Olympic Games. However, Wang Xiaolin is optimistic about the development prospect of Wushu in China. He said that foreign countries showed great interest and fascination with China Wushu. At present, the number of member countries has grown to 1 14, and the goal is to reach more than 120 before the Beijing Olympic Games. Nike Company in the United States has also noticed the changes that will take place in China Wushu, and it is this company that produces the sportswear of the members of China National Wushu Team. Although it is only a temporary event, according to the Wushu Management Center, China team has formed the first Wushu Olympic national team, and is now actively preparing for the war. A total of 50 Sanda athletes and 48 routine athletes are participating in the preparations. Ye Fei —— Why do you want to add projects with weak hosts? Pursuing equality and fashion is the starting point of the IOC's project adjustment, and encouraging women to participate in the Olympic Games is also one of the key points of the IOC in recent years. At the Athens Olympic Games, the participation rate of female athletes reached an unprecedented 4 1%. In Beijing Olympic Games, due to the addition of three women's events, it is estimated that the number of female athletes will increase 130, and the participation rate of female athletes will undoubtedly increase. The addition of BMX competition and open water swimming, which are close to nature, has added fashion elements to the ancient and traditional Olympic Games, which is another trend of IOC project reform. Objectively speaking, these emerging projects have a long history in Europe and America, while China has a short history, so it is difficult for the Beijing Olympic Games to make much progress. Although these new events are hardly the new medal growth points for the China delegation in the Beijing Olympic Games, they can be popularized and developed rapidly in China with the help of the Olympic platform. Xu Liqun —— A foreign newspaper reported that "the national elephant will return to the Olympic Games sooner or later". During the just-concluded Fifth International Sports Conference, the reporter interviewed ilyumzhinov, president of the Chess Federation. He said that the national elephant has been identified as the event of the next Asian Games, and he will also be committed to promoting the national elephant to the Olympic Games. Ilyumzhinov said that chess meets the standards of the International Olympic Committee. For example, there are as many member countries as 167, second only to football, and countless competitions are held every year. "The national elephant used to be an Olympic event, so I believe that the national elephant will re-enter the Summer Olympics sooner or later." Ilyumzhinov said. He also believes that in China, women can take the first place and men can take the second place in the national elephant team project.
