In track and field, there are 23 athletes from Tsinghua University, including two freshmen. Du Chao, deputy director of the Sports Department of Tsinghua University, said: "The results are not bad. Apart from two gold medals, there are some good rankings." Tsinghua students have won five gold medals in track and field events in the previous four National Games since they participated in the National Games for the first time in 200 1.
For a long time, being an athlete and going to college seems to be a proposition of "fish and bear's paw". In the eyes of many people, athletes generally don't go to college to be "gilded" and become so-called "athletes' students" until they achieve results. However, Wang Yu is different. They must pass the exam to enter the university, and they must study and live in the university. They are real "student athletes".
Take Tsinghua University as an example. Starting from 1996, Tsinghua began to change from "athlete student" to "student athlete" and trained independently. Sports specialty students in track and field, shooting, basketball and other A-class events. All of them were admitted according to the national high-level athletes' special recruitment standards, and all of them were admitted to the School of Economics and Management, majoring in business administration. Four-year schooling system and five-year training. Class B events such as swimming, volleyball, aerobics, football and fencing require students to reach the first-line admission in their region, and they can choose their own departments after entering the school. Other class C events are completely selected from ordinary students.
In Tsinghua, "student athletes" have classes in the morning and evening, only from 3 pm to 6: 30 pm for training. Ma Jingwei, a member of the 4× 100-meter relay team, told the reporter that after training, he would attend classes, do homework and take exams like normal students. Sometimes the game will delay a little class, and you have to study by yourself and make up lessons by yourself.
Although there is not much absolute time, in Wang Yu's view, learning and training are not contradictory at all. "When you are tired of training, you can use learning to adjust and distract yourself. or vice versa, Dallas to the auditorium Just complementary, time is not wasted at all. "
Guo Zhongze, a senior student of Peking University who won the men's 400m and men's 4x400m championships with glasses, also said: "I think student athletes have an advantage, they can enjoy learning while training. As long as they adjust their schedules, there will be no conflicts. " As a graduate student, he is looking forward to letting China men walk 400 meters out of Asia and take part in the Olympic Games.
Jing Zhao, the women's1500m champion, the 800m runner-up in the National Games, was once a "student athlete". She was a student of Fudan University in the last National Games, and won both events. Shi Peng, her husband and coach, said, "To reach a high level, you must have a high cultural literacy. On the court, tactical adjustment and improvisation need high personal cultivation and the support of cultural level. Therefore, Jing Zhao's study at Fudan University is also helpful for her sports performance. "
Zhang Peimeng, who just finished the curtain call performance of the National Games, also said that he was "made in Tsinghua". He studied under Li Qing, the coach of Tsinghua track and field team. He said, "Without Teacher Li, I would definitely not have reached the previous level and stood where I am today." Zhang Peimeng plans to return to Tsinghua after retiring. "I hope that through Tsinghua's policy, I can get in touch with outstanding young talents with real talents and potential, make contributions to China track and field and student athletes, and train outstanding athletes for China track and field," he said after the curtain call on the 7th.
According to the insiders, the training of sports talents in colleges and universities has become a useful supplement to the existing competitive sports system and athlete training mode in China, and a number of outstanding athletes such as Hu Kai and Wang Yu have emerged. With the country's continuous attention to physical education, physical education in primary and secondary schools is more common and in-depth, and it is expected that more high-level athletes will be transported out of universities in the future.
Of course, there is still a gap between school training and professional team at present. Wang Yu admits that it is not easy for student athletes to get good grades. "The protection of student athletes is not as good as that of professional athletes, and their diet and life are not as good as that of the national team, but they still have advantages and are more diversified in future road choices."
Du Chao said that at present, nearly half of the student athletes in Tsinghua continue their studies every year. In addition, 1 0,000% is employment, and 90% has nothing to do with sports. Jing Zhao will also retire after the National Games. She will go to East China Normal University as a physical education teacher. "After entering the university, I may take the school team, and I will certainly be able to meet many student athletes and make further contributions to China track and field." She said.
In Du Chao's view, Wang Yu's role as an example for Tsinghua students is more important. At present, there is an annual "Ma Yuehan Cup" in Tsinghua, which lasts for eight months, and there is also a school marathon. She said: "Tsinghua University has always had a tradition and accumulation of sports. We have a saying,' Pay equal attention to both physique and personality', and schools pay more attention to physical education. As leaders, they also have a great influence on students' physical exercise. At present, there are 42 sports teams in Tsinghua, with more than 400 people in/kloc-0, of which there are more than 200 people in Team A and Team B, which means that every student in/kloc-0 has one player on average. "
Strong teenagers make the country strong, and strong sports make the country strong. I hope that there will be more "student athletes" in the future National Games, World Games and Olympic Games.
