Social forces in sports not only bring "smart brains", but also transform from "big and small lotus flowers" in Hangzhou to old venues in Tianjin
The Asian Games will be held in Hangzhou from September 23rd to October 8th. The Hangzhou High tech Zone is home to three major Asian Games venues, namely the Hangzhou Olympic Sports Center Stadium, the Hangzhou Olympic Sports Center Tennis Center, and the Binjiang Sports Center.
The operation team of "Big and Small Lotus" has specially equipped it with a "smart brain": the digital management module in the operation hall of the Olympic Sports Center links 50 weak current systems, more than 20000 devices, and more than 80000 device units in the "Big and Small Lotus" area, which can achieve real-time energy consumption monitoring of water, electricity, gas, and other energy sources.
Coincidentally. Recently, the Tianjin Hedong Sports Stadium, which has a history of nearly 70 years, was officially put into use after renovation and upgrading. In the future, it will become a smart sports complex that integrates online and offline sports activities, sports games, commercial performances, sports leisure, and sports training.

From Hangzhou to Tianjin, sports venues are becoming increasingly intelligent
During the Asian Games, "Big Lotus" will be the venue for the opening and closing ceremonies, and will also witness the sweat of track and field athletes. In June of this year, the author visited "Big and Small Lotus" on site. The Hangzhou Olympic Sports Center Stadium, known as the "Big Lotus", is located on the south bank of the Qiantang River and east of the Xixing Bridge in the Hangzhou Olympic Sports Center. The total construction area is about 216000 square meters and the number of seats is about 80000.

The "Little Lotus" Hangzhou Olympic Sports Center Tennis Center and the "Big Lotus" form a contrast, with each other reflecting in stillness and movement. The lower part of the "Little Lotus" is composed of 24 small "petals", while the upper part is composed of 8 large "petals" that can rotate. Its most outstanding feature is the "rotating roof opening and closing" function, which can open and close according to weather conditions, with an opening and closing time of about 20 minutes.
The operation team of "Big and Small Lotus" has specially equipped it with a "smart brain". The digital management cabin in the operation hall of the Olympic Sports Center is connected to 50 weak current systems, more than 20000 devices, and more than 80000 device units in the "Big and Small Lotus" area. It can achieve real-time energy consumption monitoring of water, electricity, gas, and other energy sources, as well as statistics of carbon dioxide and carbon emissions.
Peng Wei, Chief Technology Officer of Orange Lion Sports, responsible for venue digitalization business, introduced that using "digital twin" technology, the module integrates the high-precision core model area of "Big and Small Lotus" with the programmatic model area of the Olympic Sports Park, forming a data-driven "digital twin base" of the Olympic Sports Center that is completely consistent with the real-world geographic coordinate system.

The operation of air conditioning, ventilation, cold and heat sources, water supply and drainage, etc., which are scattered in various places, can be controlled by the intelligent management system in the digital management cabin, and then the "optimal solution" for energy consumption in the entrance hall can be intelligently calculated. It is revealed that through artificial intelligence automatic adjustment and control, the entire museum can effectively reduce energy consumption by more than 10%.
In addition to the "big and small lotus" in Hangzhou, more and more sports venues across the country are being equipped with "smart brains". The Hedong Sports Stadium, originally named Tianjin Fifth Sports Stadium, was built in the 1950s and is the only standard sports stadium preserved in the central urban area of Tianjin. Due to its age and outdated facilities, Tianjin city has started upgrading and renovating since 2018. In addition to renovating and renovating the stadium and stands, a comprehensive training center has also been built.

Now, this place has been upgraded to the Hedong Sports Center, becoming a smart sports complex that integrates online and offline events, sports games, commercial performances, sports leisure, and sports training. In addition to the renovation and upgrading of hardware facilities, the Hedong Sports Center also implements a new operational management model. Orange Lion Sports has obtained the operation rights of the venue and incorporated it into its smart venue brand, Le Power Sports Center. With a digital and standardized service management system, the venue will undergo comprehensive external decoration, internal upgrading, and intelligent transformation.
From sports to education, the concept of integrating sports and education has deeply rooted in people's hearts

Recently, the Social Power Sports Alliance was established and unveiled, with the first batch of members consisting of 160 sports institutions from 15 cities across the country. The aim is to respond to the advocacy of "government guidance, market operation, and public participation", integrate resources, implement policies according to local conditions, and seek common development.

At a themed forum called "Consolidating Social Forces to Promote High Quality Development of the Sports Industry", almost all sports practitioners believe that both parents and children in China currently recognize the educational philosophy of sports.

Han Mu, the founder of Lazy Bear Sports, believes that "parents born in the 1980s" clearly invest more in their children's sports than "parents born in the 1970s". One of the current tasks of the industry is to find more children, bring them into sports, and use this to drive more sports consumption.
Wang Qian, Deputy Director of Tianjin Volleyball Sports Management Center, said that sports are the most indispensable education for human growth, especially for cultivating children's ability to withstand high pressure. However, in the past, from the selection mechanism within the system, very few children were able to practice sports, from school selection to sports schools, to youth teams. Some projects even did not have amateur sports schools. Social forces can provide opportunities in this regard, allowing more children to engage in sports, forming a natural distribution: professional resources are used at the tip of the pyramid, while social forces give more and greater strength to ordinary children.

Chen Xi, the chairman of Zhengsaijia Sports Club, used to be a tennis player from the Bayi Sports Work Brigade. With a deep imprint of sports, he said, "In our understanding, sports is to achieve education in focus, willpower, and ideology through physical exercise. The abilities of every sports enterprise are limited, but fortunately, a group of like-minded people can come together and use their own methods to influence the next generation." Wang Qian, who was once the champion of the Tianjin women's volleyball team, said that now parents have more ideas about cultivating children's health. People's longing for a better life is first and foremost health, which is sports.
From wildness to rationality, reality forces sports enterprises to reduce costs and increase efficiency
The important driving force for the development of China's sports industry comes from policy incentives, which are important factors in the industry in the medium and short term. In 2014, the State Council issued several opinions on accelerating the development of the sports industry and promoting sports consumption, which led to a rapid growth of China's sports industry.

In recent years, Jiangsu Province has actively responded to the national call for integrated development of sports and tourism. Relying on the resources of all parts of the province, it has cultivated a number of complex and characteristic sports tourism demonstration bases, such as the Taihu Lake Bay Camping Valley, Changzhou Dynamic Sports Industrial Park, Yangzhou Ledong Sports Square, and introduced a number of sports formats, such as archery, rock climbing, tennis, basketball, trampoline, karting, to guide sports from competition to fitness for all, promote consumption upgrading, and inject new vitality into urban development.

After five years of rapid development, the epidemic has had a great impact on the sports industry in the past three years. The mentality of domestic sports industry personnel is changing, and all practitioners have become more pragmatic. Reducing costs, increasing efficiency, and long-term development have become a consensus. The "big numbers" that used to easily reach billions or tens of millions have now become "small numbers" like tens of thousands or 20%, all of which reveal the ease with which sports people gradually emerge from their lows, feeling a little helpless but wearing iron.

Hongyou Sports Zhou Jiaqi candidly introduced that the company's business growth in the first few months of this year was relatively slow, but everyone has learned to face reality instead of being pessimistic. Therefore, they have slowed down the pace of continuous expansion and returned to the product itself and team development itself. This level of composure has also received positive feedback, with a 20% increase in the number of children coming for training this summer compared to last year, which is still a reassuring number for the team.
Compared to the large platform economy of e-commerce, China's sports industry currently lacks a solid communication and cooperation platform. The first group of members from 160 institutions in 15 cities across the country are the social forces that are exploring the sports alliance for warmth and solidarity. The birth of the Social Power Sports Alliance presents the platform model in a more open and standardized form, which helps more youth sports training institutions and small and medium-sized sports enterprises find scientific and appropriate operating models.

Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, has innovated the concept and mode of sports development, relying on the natural landscape resources in the the Taihu Lake Lake basin, attracted investment, and promoted the transformation and upgrading of the sports industry. Aviation flight, parachuting, hot-air balloon, paragliding, sailing, canoeing and other aviation and water sports have settled in Suzhou.

Li Jun, the founder of Jiangsu Su Chao Football, said that when he first collaborated with Orange Lion Sports, he was only interested in their online platform's traffic advantage. However, in several years of cooperation, he found that in addition to this natural advantage, Orange Lion Sports's offline venue hosting ability far exceeds the efficiency of enterprises like Su Chao in negotiating and promoting business alone.
The era of blindfolded frenzy has passed, leaving behind not a single pile of chicken feathers, but a clearer understanding of the environment and oneself, as well as the subsequent focus and segmentation. As Kaidi Sports professionals have stated, the current goal is very clear, which is to make more children love sports by obtaining more venue resources. "Unlike competitive sports, we focus our limited time on making children enjoy sports."
Individual users can receive professional sports experience feedback from the technology of smart venues.
The development of China's sports industry cannot be separated from the innovative exploration of social forces, especially small and medium-sized enterprises.
Mu Yang, Chairman and CEO of Orange Lion Sports, believes that "the company has always taken 'making sports simple' as its mission, based on the concept of platformization, standardization, and digital operation, to organically integrate online and offline. The sports industry has survived very difficult years, and I believe everyone will unite, learn from each other's strengths, and welcome the true spring of the sports industry together."
