The Tokyo Olympics officially closed this Sunday (8th). The last medal in Hong Kong was won by the "God of the Cow" Li Huishi. The Hong Kong team finally bid farewell to Tokyo with the best results of 1 gold, 2 silver and 3 bronze.

Li Junrong, a lecturer in the Faculty of Social Sciences, Humanities and Design of the Faculty of Professional and Continuing Education of PolyU, attended the RTHK program and said that the whole world is investing resources to support the development of sports, so it is necessary to continue to invest resources to maintain competitiveness.

He also criticized that sports events require achievements to obtain resources. He believes that it is an unfair situation. "If you have achievements, you must first become an elite sport, but there are no resources and achievements?" The


DAB Legislative Council Member Cheng Yongshun today (10th) In the same program, three suggestions were made to the government, including professionalization, athlete retirement arrangements, and hardware.

Cheng Yongshun, a member of the DAB Legislative Council, said that athletes' success is not overnight, but the result of long-term training efforts. He believes that the formulation of sports policies requires long-term planning.

He put forward three suggestions, including sports professionalization, namely sports management, sports science, and medicine. He pointed out that the competition is not the competition of athletes. The team behind it is very important, involving nutritionists, physiotherapists, and psychological counselors.

Some athletes have low salaries because they fail to achieve results in every competition, and they think there is room for improvement.

As for the hardware, he observed the crowded training grounds of the Physical Education Institute.

Slow progress in refurbishment of local stadiums

Zheng also pointed out that according to recent interviews, 80% of Hong Kong people said they would exercise once a week.

He believes that national sports can help promote sports development and suggests that more national sports meets can be held.

However, he pointed out that there are not enough sports venues in Hong Kong. Many of the existing venues have been built for more than 20 years, and the buildings are only 2 to 3 stories high.

Although the government launched the "Five-Year Plan for Sports and Recreation Facilities" earlier, he criticized the slow progress of the renovation. "Do you want to find more places for sports facilities?"

Zheng also suggested that the government may consider purchasing the broadcasting rights for the Asian Games next year, or request television stations to broadcast the National Games, or even set up additional channels on Hong Kong and Taiwan to explain different sports to the public to enhance the sports atmosphere in Hong Kong.

Li Junrong: Need to continue to invest resources to maintain competitiveness

Li Junrong, lecturer of the Faculty of Social Sciences, Humanities and Design of the Faculty of Professional and Continuing Education of PolyU, attended the same show and said that the government's resources have an absolute relationship with the success of the Olympic Games. He pointed out that the whole world is investing resources to support the development of sports, so it is necessary to continue to invest resources. To maintain competitiveness, "resources are a necessary condition for good results."

Li pointed out that there are currently about 500 full-time athletes in the Physical Education Institute. The younger athletes are paid less than 10,000 yuan, which discourages athletes with poorer economic conditions.

He also criticized that sports events require achievements to obtain resources. He believes that unfair situations, such as ball team sports, have become unfavorable events under the elite system due to their high degree of professionalization in various parts of the world.

"Talking about the problems of 10, 20, 20 years, you must first become an elite sport if you have results. However, there are no resources and achievements. If there are many strong opponents in the area, it is difficult to achieve good results. It is just to play it. Sports lose the bottom. ?"

As for the retirement arrangements for athletes, Li Junrong pointed out that Hong Kong is not a planned economy, and the government or sports academies cannot arrange positions for them.

But he suggested that the business sector can also invest resources, such as cooperating with sports colleges to provide on-the-job training, and the government can also provide subsidies such as tax relief.
