Is the national system a good thing or a bad thing for athletes?

Speaking of the national system, this is a very serious topic.

Since the country began to advocate the national system, it has indeed made great progress in some major sports events. Especially in the comprehensive stage of the Olympic Games, China has occupied a place in recent Olympic Games, the most striking of which should be the 5 1 gold medal in the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, with a total of 100 medals. This is also China's best achievement in previous Olympic Games.

Through the national system, more athletes can participate in professional training, and from local to provincial teams to national teams, they can really make achievements quickly. However, while winning a large number of medals, another problem can not be ignored, that is, there are only a few people standing at the top of the pyramid, and more people are at the middle and low end of the pyramid. This has caused a large number of athletes to carry out high-intensity training, but they can't set foot on the Olympic Games all their lives. In the end, they can only choose to retire and seek other ways out.

Many athletes have started special training since childhood, and have been practicing until they retire, or some have no choice but to quit because of serious injuries. Some countries that have made achievements took part in the competition and won the ranking. Those who have no achievements can only find their own way. However, there are still many imperfections in the management of retired athletes by the state at present. In addition, many athletes are hard to gain a foothold in society because of their training and low academic qualifications.

A typical example that has attracted much attention before is that Zhang Shangwu, the Olympic champion, can't get a foothold in society after retiring, so he has to beg in the subway station for a living. I have to say that this is the most tragic experience for an athlete. There are still many people who retired because of serious injuries, and they may be injured for life and cannot return to normal life. The life of these people after retirement is also an urgent problem to be solved.

But we can't generalize. After all, there are many active or retired athletes, and their life span is infinite. For example, Guo Jingjing and Tian Liang, a diving group, married a rich man and lived a happy life, while the latter also joined the entertainment circle. There are also Prince of gymnastics Li Ning, national male god ZhangJike, Super Dan Lindan, etc. Now they have made good achievements in their respective fields.

So when it comes to the national system, this is also a two-sided topic. On the one hand, it helped many children who were born in poverty and had no other way out, and achieved self-achievement through sports. On the other hand, the problem of a large number of retired athletes entering the society still needs the attention and solution of the state.

If the country can better improve and supplement the complete system chain of talent selection, training, competition, retirement and pension, so that both on-the-job and retired athletes can enjoy the benefits brought by the system, then I believe that the national system will definitely outweigh the disadvantages.
