Positions in the International Olympic Committee: Vice President of the National Olympic Committee, International Relations Committee (2002-), IOC Executive Committee (2004-).

An active promoter of sports industrialization
Yu Zaiqing investigated and studied the operation mode of foreign sports very early, and deeply realized the great role of sports industrialization in sports development. He actively supported and participated in a series of reforms of the State Sports Commission on promoting sports industrialization, and was directly responsible for the operation and management of China Sports Service Company in the early 1990s, with remarkable achievements.
As the deputy director of the General Administration of Sports in charge of economy, foreign affairs and administration, Yu Zaiqing has done a lot of painstaking and meticulous work in publicizing and guiding sports fitness consumption, adjusting sports industrial structure and product structure, encouraging all sectors of society to participate in sports market development, strengthening the management of sports facilities, and improving the management system and operation mechanism of sports market.
With the rapid development of sports lottery, I don't know how much sweat Yu Zaiqing has condensed! Yu Zaiqing put forward the idea of "great development" of lottery issuance in time, demanding the use of high technology to improve the lottery issuance mode, actively helping the western region to open up the lottery market and strengthen team building. Through hard work, computer sports lottery sales systems have been built in 19 provinces and cities nationwide, and the monthly sales of computer sports lottery tickets reached 800 million yuan, double the previous year. In view of the poor concept of lottery, less investment, small market capacity and weak lottery issuing team in the western region, Yu Zaiqing put forward the scheme of "networked sales in five northwest provinces", which saved investment and expanded the effect.
The China sports delegation, which won the gold and silver medals in Sydney, could not do without the enthusiastic sponsorship of enterprises. Yu Zaiqing carefully organized the solicitation of sponsorship for the China sports delegation of the 2000 Olympic Games, put forward the concept that "enterprises support sports, sports returns to enterprises, and sports should serve the development of enterprises and build famous brands", improved the way of accepting sponsorship, and divided the sponsored enterprises into different categories such as "partners", "honorary sponsors" and "enthusiastic sponsors", and carefully selected and properly coordinated the sponsored enterprises. As a result, the amount of sponsorship received by the China sports delegation at the Olympic Games doubled compared with the last Olympic Games, reaching more than 70 million yuan.
Diligent, meticulous and modest
For a long time, people of the Sports Commission will see Yu Zaiqing listening to a foreign language on their way to and from work every day. This is how Yu Zaiqing learned his fluent English. He loves studying very much. Because of his busy work, his study time is very crowded. He tries to refuse ordinary entertainment unless his job requires it.
Yu Zaiqing is an active promoter and practitioner of the national fitness campaign. He insisted on playing basketball, football and table tennis in his early years, but now he insists on playing tennis after work, and his sports level is not low.
When you first meet Yu Zaiqing, you will feel that he is similar to "Cold-blooded Man". He usually has a dull expression, so it is difficult to show his emotions. But after contact with him, his simplicity and modesty will make people feel deeply. Many people have only met him once, but he remembers their names and main features. Yu Zaiqing will also highlight his "hero" nature and show his beautiful singing voice when meeting friends and relatives at the New Year Festival.
