China would have won gold in men's 1500m if Sun Yang was fit.

What was his injury?

then she knows jack shit about how to educate TV viewers with her professional knowhow, and teach them how to watch finals like a pro. How I could hear she talked about at the braodcasting was "Jia You!! Jia You! faster ! faster ! Good, NING, you're a good soidier of PLA, you almost reached the final line..." My grandma could yell those better than she did.

Not every commentator was like her.
Better not to generalise.

 

[AndrewJin]

Hmm. I didn't think China had any hope in Womens Medley.

As for us, we Suck in swimming man! Big time!

No swimming pools? General Indians don't swim?

 

[zeronet]

swimming games are over, now let us switch our focus to another great game, world championships in athletics openning later this month in beijing's bird's nest.

 

[Bussard Ramjet]

They do, but it takes a lot more to bring competitive swimmers.

One needs long term investment, and picking up of talent at young age to groom them etc.

Just see, even Sun Yang was trained in Australia with their best coaches. Similarly for many other Chinese swimmers. Over time Chinese will get all the training skills and start producing totally home bred champions.


So to summarize.

India has no big policy to bring out and groom swimmers.

India also has a smaller middle class, and swimming is a relatively expensive game.

I do indeed swim for my exercise, and that is why I am interested in following swimming.

They are not trained in Australia, they go to Australia for trainings sometimes.
I don't think swimming belongs to middle class, if u mean Chinese middle class.

Bird's nest is born for athletics.
I also heard during winter sometimes it is used for indoor skiing for general citizens!?

Congrats to team China for winning the FINA world champs.
Best in the world.

China is the only country on this planet that can hang with the United States.

Others are beyond a joke.

 

[Keel]

Except swimming superpower Australia, the top 5 medalists

are the UNSC 5!

Surprise? NOT!



darn it! I turned off the TV after knowing that Sun yang was absent hence no more medal hopes. So I've missed women's medley relay completely! :hitwall; gonna hit BBC iplayer soon...

Today's sports require a lot of money to be spent in infrastructures and equipment, training and coaching, medical attentions, rehabiliations, nutritions. So I think only the UNSC members possess all the conditions PLUS Autralia, Germany, Japan ...

It is another big event that can draw global attentions but the strength of our track and fiield lag far behind the aquatic sports

I just hype Li Jinzhe to grab at least a medal on men's long jump. China got two players above 8.20m with the best Li Jinzhe's 8.47m this year. Basically this result can guarantee at least a medal, 8.50m ~ 8.60m will most likely be enough to get a gold. Another event I like to watch is men's high jump, China has Zhang Guowei's 2.38m this year, only 1 cm shy of the old world record set by Zhu jianhua in 1984. But to get a gold you have to jump over 2.41~2.42m, because Qatar's Barshim is out there.

the low level of professional swimming channel commentors has shown:

1. the national average swimming education level in China is very low, because the commentators are broadcasting to the masses. IF the masses on average knew a lot about the professional swimming, the rubbish presenters would have been booed out of their stage long ago, or they themselves would have felt too embarassed to speak pure rubbish in such a way.

2. China ( it's official CCTV channel) doesn't care about the general knowledge and interests of the masses towards professional swimming, but only cares about the medal counts.

3. China depends heavily on several natural talents like Sun Yang and Ning for medals. So sometimes got more medals due to the luck of having 1 more talent. People will thus never be sure which year China is good and which is not unlike swimming superpower countries such as Australia, UK or US, where people know in general that the country's swimming records will almost always be good. It is because these countries depend much more on the general high national level of swimming - high level professional TV channel is a n important educational mean to deepen their people's understanding on the sport and to stimulate their personal interets to practise it. That's why a tiny country like Australia got more swimming gold medals than China. Why China must send their top swimmers to Australia to train? What Australia has that China does not have? It's the environment of such a high swimming culture and exptises accumulated through many related means that make the differences. Australian swimming TV presentors, like the ones in UK or US or Russia or Nederthlands, mainly talk about how many seconds the main competitors have at the moments, which parts during the swim they're good and why, where went wrong where went right, how do those compared to other guys, etc when commentating. they will NEVER talk like CCTV presentors. Thee Chinese CCTV sport presentors talk about "Jia You!! Jia You, Ning!Jia You, Sun yang! ! C'mon Ning! C'mon Sun Yang. You are a good son of your mother land ! swim faster! swim faster!, the final 5 metres to go, faster faster! you almost there...blah blah," , as if Sun and Ning could hear what these bonker presentors yelling about at that moment. Any 6-year-old kid can have a job yelling like these CCTV's s professional sports presentors. I can do that for gods'sake. my grandma can even do better, and yelling "Jia You! Jia You!" louder and faster than these TV presentors do. i know shit about professional swimming btw. But can i have a job in CCTV now?

See the differences?

4. hence it shows China's national strategy on swimming is quite wrong for one reason or another. So it's NOT about individuals firstly like China does, but all about increasing the level of the masses of the country. When the masses are very educated on professional swimming and they practise a lot themselves, then one has a much larger pool to choose top talents from.

Therefore, through the tree (low level of sports presentors) , one can tell how's the forest look like. So you will NEVER encounter such a low level of sports TV presentors in ANY of sporting country, no matter how small the country is.

good points, but China's swimming is still in its infancy. Swimming is very much dominated by western powers at this time. Going forward I hope this will change.

Right now you can expect China to win medals in diving.

Read post no 21 and 25. These are the athletes who have won medals during those events. They are our medal hopefuls

I am also keen to know how well Su Bingtian can do in his coming 100m race in Beijing ( also read post #30 and 32 of the above link where he accomplished his career best in 9.99" )

Swimming, Cycling and Rowing are the 3 sports dominated almost exclusively by Western powers.

Hahaha, hush hush! Dont let Obama know about this. Otherwise he will give an executive order commanding every Macdonald's to build a 2-lane shortcourse pool before they can operate

When he knew the US is behind China in supercomputers, he made this order

Indeed, in any case, a Republican must win. Preferably, Trump.
