Let's rest assured, "Sports Teacher" Su Bingtian announced with this appearance that he will withdraw from all competitions this year on campus | Vitality | Sports Teacher
"I am a beneficiary of scientific training, and scientificity is very important in physical education work. Scientific training can make sports more effective and help teenagers grow better." When Su Bingtian skillfully practiced the training methods on stage and introduced his sports experience with a smile, the author had already confirmed one thing in his heart: next year's Paris Olympics, "Su Shen" will definitely come back!
"Su Shen" looks in good condition
This scene appeared at the 6th "Vitality Campus Innovation Excellent Case Annual Ceremony" held yesterday. Over 300 frontline physical education teachers and researchers from all over the country gathered at this "Oscar" belonging to them after three years to exchange and share the latest achievements in sports education innovation.
And Su Bingtian appeared as a "physical education teacher". He and Gong Lianlian from Yingcai Meiju Primary School in Tianhe District, Guangzhou jointly discussed the importance of scientific and fun training in physical education teaching, and led the on-site physical education teachers to carry out interesting balance training, fully demonstrating the importance of physical education teaching in cultivating children's physical and mental health in all aspects.
Two months ago, when Su Bingtian announced his withdrawal from the entire 2023 season, public opinion was filled with astonishment and regret. After all, he is about to turn 34. Putting aside this precious year and withdrawing from the Hangzhou Asian Games and Budapest World Championships, people are more concerned about whether this Chinese sprinter leader can still return to the field. Some track and field fans have also admitted, "Su Bingtian's career is already great enough, and we don't want him to take any more risks for the competition."
At that time, there were not many details in Su Bingtian's official announcement, and people did not know how difficult it was for their idols to make this decision. But when Su Bingtian stood in front of us, all the details seemed to prove that everything was still under the control of "Su Shen". At the award ceremony, Su Bingtian appeared to be in a good mood. When awarding awards to the sports teachers, he fulfilled the requests of his fans one by one, signed their T-shirts, and shook hands with them for a group photo.
Another cycle, another expectation
At last year's Eugene World Championships, Su Bingtian was infected with the COVID-19 just after his arrival. After recovering, he immediately competed with poor results. He returned to China and regained his yang. Subsequently, his physical condition fluctuated, bringing difficulties to this year's preparation, and he ultimately made the decision to reimburse for the season.
In Su Bingtian's career, he has experienced several such lows and repeated several cycles, and this time, we still have reason to believe him.
The most recent one was in 2019, when he suffered a back injury, which was the most serious injury in his career. Due to an operational error by the physical trainer at the time, 370 kilograms of pressure collided with his lumbar spine. Repeated back injuries caused him to have mediocre results that year, and he also missed some key matches. Next, the epidemic has arrived, which was a long period of silence.
But we all know the following story: in 9.83 seconds, he became the first Chinese athlete to reach the Olympic men's 100m final. This achievement ranks 13th in the historical men's 100 meter record, with the top 12 being African American athletes. Su Bingtian's achievements even surpassed sports, filling the gap of being a "Chinese flying man" after Liu Xiang.
So this time, we see his decision as another abandonment of pursuing a bigger goal - he has set his sights on next year's Paris Olympics, and even hopes to run to the 2025 Greater Bay Area National Games. He is not without an age crisis, he is also an ordinary person, but he said, "It's just that I don't value it too much now."
"Teacher Su" will be one of them in the future
Whenever the topic of "perhaps becoming a teacher in the future" is mentioned, Su Bingtian, who has always been somewhat "afraid" of answering media questions, always becomes talkative - he has led the establishment of the "Speed Research and Training Center", hoping to provide a growth platform for good seedlings with different foundations. After retirement, he will also serve athletics and students.
This may be why Su Bingtian actively participates in the "Vitality Campus Innovation Excellent Case Annual Ceremony" event. This case collection activity was jointly carried out by the China Education Development Foundation and Nike, with professional guidance provided by the Institute of Sports, Health and Art Education of the Chinese Academy of Educational Sciences. Over 2900 excellent case applications were received from 31 provinces, cities, and autonomous regions, setting a new historical record.
After multiple rounds of evaluation by the expert group, a total of 100 innovative cases were selected for this year's Vitality Campus Innovation Excellent Case, including 52 "best in class physical education teaching cases", 31 "best extracurricular sports activity cases", and 17 "best campus sports culture cases". At the same time, from these 100 cases, 30 "campus innovation cases", 9 "sports teaching and research officer innovation cases", and 33 "international exchange cases" of the vibrant campus were also selected. In October this year, teachers and researchers who have won the International Exchange Award in the past two editions will visit and exchange ideas in the UK.
At the event, Yao Ming and Sun Wen encouraged physical education teachers to continue innovating through videos, making physical education classes more interesting and effective, and providing children with more and better sports opportunities.
Liu Xiaoshuang, a physical education teacher born in 1995 at Jishuqiao Primary School in Shebu Town, Xiangtan County, Hunan Province, won the honor of "Best Campus Sports Culture Case" in this selection. As a young teacher, Liu Xiaoshuang faced the objective constraints of physical education classes and was inspired and encouraged by Zhou Chenguang, a teacher who won the Vitality Campus Innovation Award in 2020. She began to work with students to make sports teaching aids, stimulate their interest in sports, and simulate various types of sports to accompany children as they grow up through games, opening up their horizons for rural children.
Gong Lianlian, a teacher from Yingcai Meiju Primary School in Tianhe District, Guangzhou, who won the "Best Case of in class Physical Education Teaching" award, discovered that many lower grade students had "sensory dysregulation" during physical education classes, which caused them to experience obstacles in balance, vision, hearing, and other aspects. They may also stumble while running, and may not be able to successfully complete single jumps. In response to this issue, Teacher Gong combined field research and project research to incorporate sensory integration training into physical education classes, break times, and after-school activities. Using a sensitive circle as a teaching tool, he designed an interesting balance exercise course that fully combines the scientific and interesting aspects of physical education. With her efforts, the situation of some young students has been well improved.
Bi Yawu, a sports researcher from the Education and Research Information Training Center in Xishan District, Kunming City, Yunnan Province, was awarded the "Sports Researcher Innovation Case" in this selection. In the case of uneven distribution of local educational resources, it is a great test of the teaching ability of physical education teachers to encourage children to participate more and sweat more in physical education classes. As a physical education researcher, Bi Yawu provides classroom teaching guidance for young physical education teachers by visiting and researching, adapting to local ethnic characteristics, and patiently refining the curriculum. He guides and guides physical education teachers to attend a good physical education class, truly making children fall in love with sports.
Dong Wei, Vice President of Nike Group, said, "It is the passion and creativity of sports teachers for physical education that enables children to have a positive sports experience from a young age on campus, thus becoming lifelong athletes. At Nike, we firmly believe that the power of sports can change the world. We are honored to work together with all sectors of society to continuously break through and promote the 'Vitality Campus' long-term project, helping children fully unleash their potential."
