Analysis of the final and gold medal calculations of the Women's Football Games
On the night of September 25th, the 14th National Games Women's Soccer Adult Group Final staged a highlight match. The United team, which is centered on our women's international soccer players, defeated the defending champion Shanghai by a narrow margin of 1-0 and successfully lifted the trophy. However, in the wake of this exciting victory, a complex issue has attracted widespread attention: how are the gold medals calculated for those local participating units behind the members of the United Team who transported them? A Beiqing-Beijing headline reporter has verified and revealed the rules of the tournament organizers: the participating units that supplied players to the United Team will be awarded only one gold medal, regardless of how many players they contributed.
The Tokyo Olympics had to be postponed for one year to be held this summer due to the new crown epidemic. The 14th National Games, on the other hand, opened in September as scheduled, which resulted in an unusually tight schedule between the two competitions and brought tremendous preparation pressure and challenges to the participating units of the Games.
In the face of such a challenge, in order to encourage the delivery units of national team players of various sports to actively participate in the Games, the sports management department, after communicating with the relevant sports project management centers (industry associations), finally decided to set up "joint teams" to participate in some of the sports competitions. In addition to women's soccer, track and field, basketball, field hockey and other sports have also introduced the "joint team" system.

However, the specific distribution seems to have some misunderstanding.

Although the Tokyo Olympics were postponed for a year due to the epidemic, the 14th National Games were still held as scheduled in September. This tight schedule has undoubtedly put extra pressure on the preparations for the Games.
