Seeing the children, he discovered a problem. Xu Haifeng, the first Chinese Olympic champion, entered the campus
On the morning of November 27, children were doing physical exercises on the playground of Aiju Primary School in Xuhui District. Two familiar figures walked past the children, and everyone was chirping, "That grandpa is China's first Olympic champion?!" "I know, Xu Haifeng and Tao Luna, they are the Olympic champions in shooting events!"
"Carry forward the Olympic spirit and absorb the power of progress." Xu Haifeng, China's first Olympic champion and champion of the men's 50-meter pistol event at the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, recently went to Shanghai to participate in the primary and secondary school student shooting championships. During the trip, he visited many schools in Shanghai and followed Children share their sports stories.
Xu Haifeng tells his sports story to the children of Aiju Primary School.
Xu Haifeng is 66 years old this year. He started practicing shooting when he was 25 years old. In just over a year, he won the first Olympic gold medal for New China. He is extremely talented. Xu Haifeng talked about how he gave up his job at a local supply and marketing cooperative in order to practice shooting. "It was an era of supply by ticket. My job was very popular, so when I went to practice shooting, my salary from the supply and marketing cooperative stopped. "
In Xu Haifeng's view, the age at which you start playing sports is not the most important. The key is to have the habit of being good at studying, being serious and focused during training, and being able to find patterns. "You have to love what you do and be willing to study hard. It is also very important to maintain a good attitude. Why someone can win the championship in the finals is because they are very focused and have no distracting thoughts."
He gave an example: There is a very strong weightlifter in Hunan. There is a photo posted in his training hall. It is a photo of a villa that local developers plan to use to build gold medal athletes. As a result, during the competition, the athlete failed to lift the clean and jerk three times and was eliminated. "At the most critical moment for athletes in the finals, they cannot think, 'I will have everything after I win the gold medal.' If you think like this, something will definitely go wrong."
Xu Haifeng communicates with young reporters from Aiju Primary School.
At the Los Angeles Olympics, Xu Haifeng aspired to win the championship with 566 rings. In the last three shots, he shot a 10-ring and two 9-rings. Xu Haifeng said: "The runner-up at that time was 565 rings, and the third runner-up was 564 rings. The last three bullets were missed by one ring."
Talking about his successful experience, Xu Haifeng encouraged the children, "Learning is not just in the classroom. The broader your knowledge, the stronger your ability to solve problems." Then, looking at the students in the audience, he couldn't help but say: "There are too many of you wearing glasses! Myopia among students is indeed getting more and more serious."
As an expert member of the "Healthy China Action" Promotion Committee, Xu Haifeng has paid great attention to children's eye health while popularizing shooting projects in recent years. "Everyone must be aware of protecting their eyesight. Give your eyes a rest after reading or working on the computer for a long time. Shooting events can adjust vision at distances and can effectively protect your eyesight."
At the event site, Sydney Olympic champion Tao Luna taught in person and guided students to experience laser shooting. Han Jinxin, a third-year student at Aiju Primary School, has been practicing laser shooting for a year. “I usually train in the shooting club, and I also have the opportunity to shoot air pistols. It’s fun to practice shooting. You will definitely be irritated if you don’t hit, so you can temper your will. Through shooting training, I also have the opportunity to shoot.” I learned to focus on the process rather than pursuing the results. I want to practice well and become a shooter in the future and participate in the Olympics.”
Tao Luna shared with the students that she gradually became interested in shooting by joining the school's shooting club. In the failure again and again, temper your will and strengthen your belief in fighting for the championship. When you encounter difficulties in life, use the spirit of sports to cheer yourself up. Shooting starts from "0", growth is more important than success.
Currently, laser shooting projects are widely carried out on Shanghai campuses. Tao Luna said, "Shooting is the strength of my country's competitive sports and is very suitable for urban children to exercise. Laser shooting does not require high venue requirements. It can be carried out in a classroom and a set of laser equipment, which can cultivate children's concentration and stress resistance. If In the outdoor playground, it can be combined with running to become a running and shooting event, suitable for both movement and leisure. "
A class in which children interacted with Olympic champions broadened their knowledge. Fang Jidong, the principal of Aiju Primary School, said that although the school has limited space, it has a rich daily sports program. The school encourages students to actively participate in sports activities. The importance of sports education has also been responded positively by parents. This time, we can invite Olympic champions to communicate with the children face-to-face, allowing the children to have a deep understanding of the champion's growth experience and fighting spirit, and also allowing the Olympic spirit to subtly permeate the children's growth process.
