Russian Beijing Olympics reasons for the sluggish performance

Eve of the opening of the Beijing Olympic Games, the Russian Olympic Committee Chairman Jia Jia Qiaofu has disclosed that the Russian delegation at the Olympics, the goal is to get more than 80 medals and 30 gold medals around. And China for the second in the medal count. But contrary, start seven days, the pattern of tripartite confrontation in the United States and Russia have completely broken, and China, the United States of 22 and 14 compared to the gold medal, the Russian wrestling projects in the three gold medals were inevitably become the Russian people injured Pain and shame.

"We are still in the initial stage of the game", "our advantage in the second half of the race," it seems that the Russian sports officials have become a classic lines. But with Russia and promote competition in the traditional projects in the defeat, the Russian sports community has not blindly "pinning hopes on the future," but Tongdingsitong to find reasons.

August 15, the Russian Olympic delegation head, the former Olympic diving champion Vladimir Waxin in "Komsomolskaya Pravda" interview, the first time admitted that Russia had no plans to complete the established medals, Chuzhan not satisfactory. Russian officials believe that the Olympic Games played loss, is a variety of reasons.

The immediate impact of the war is the level of the athletes play a direct cause. Russia's State Duma, the former Olympic champion Gisbert Lanna RU-Shike Luowa in the Russian club accepted an interview with RIA-Novosti news agency that South Ossetia on the incident created an adverse impact on competition, all athletes are therefore very Unrest. She said: "When the players hear what they do not care about sports in addition to the words, feel very aggrieved." She said: "The athletes because of what happened all deeply distressed. Leisure, they are not concerned about the peer, friends and competitors The competition, but domestic news. "Athletes hope to people at home can pay attention to this quadrennial sporting event, but the war spread to their attention.

Other national sports strengthened Russian athletes are objective reasons for the decline results. Vladimir Waxin pointed out: "all countries in the world has increased the intensity of the importance of sports, the Olympics start six days, 22 teams have won the gold medal, which, in many countries is not the traditional sports big country." He stressed that the last five To seven years, some Asian countries the rapid growth of sports teams, is experiencing a real crisis of sport, which makes Russia's medal segregation.

Insufficient domestic investment, sports facilities backwardness is fatal. Vladimir Waxin pointed out that the Soviet period a total of more than 30 competitive sports research centre, now only less than 10, and Soviet-era training base has been "Laodiao Ya", sports industrial building is imperative.

The lack of patriotic enthusiasm, participating intrinsic motivation is not clear why. With some authority in the commercial sports, many athletes to the Olympic Games have not seen as the only hope for sports career. "Now do not grasp that opportunity will be lost forever!" This issue has long been obsolete in the minds of athletes, because they can be in other competitions in the high pay. "Hearts did not 'win glory for the country' conviction, is not prepared to contribute to the final of the Olympic Games a force, the victory is impossible." Vladimir Waxin said.

The loss of lean athletes and coaches should not be overlooked. 1990s the Russian economy to the deterioration of many Russian experts chosen to foreign development. "I often hear in the Olympic Village wearing the uniform of the national Russian-speaking people, Russia is now a shortage of experienced coaches, but Russia has become a world sports' sponsors'!" Vladimir Waxin Very helpless. Turning to the issue of athletes, Vladimir Waxin cited an example: In order to fencing projects in a "Xiaobing" culture into a "general" and the need for 12 hours! Vladimir Waxin said: "We came in the 1990s, too many, this is four years can not make up for. Soviet-era training reserve forces have lost the system, in order to restore this system, we need time."

Sports officials face of the self-anatomy, the Russian media did not seem to Maizhang. They are unwilling to recognize these facts and reason, now that it was too early to sum up experiences and lessons. They hope that sports officials to resolve the current problems, and not put sports in Russia 20 years ago committed the error, or just "victory to be achieved" and "the future is bright, the road is tortuous," so to comfort the people , Because victory is not to say that out, but to do them.
