Editor's Notes:
From its opening on July 23 to August 8, Tokyo
the Olympics
It came to a close in a slight rush. China's sportsmen and women won 38 gold, 32 silver and 18 bronze, equaling their best overseas performance in 2012.

At this event, our sports fans felt a mix of passion and loss;
Our fans have witnessed this year's edition with both joy and regret
the Olympics
The wonderful.
Behind the seemingly contradictory emotions is the fact that China's three major balls are in the Tokyo
the Olympics
The performance on it was not as good as it could have been.
While the women's basketball team came in with a bronze medal and the Elite Eight, the rest of the program looked a little out of reach.
entanglement of emotions
It was unacceptable for them to lose any of their games.
The men's soccer team has been unable to enter the
the Olympics
Final Lap;
Men's Basketball Loses International Cup at Home

Tickets and two consecutive losses in the drop-off;
The men's volleyball team lost three sets in a row to Iran in the men's volleyball Asian qualifying tournament for the Tokyo Olympics, missing out on a third straight
the Olympics
What seemed like an expected result is that since the 1984 Los Angeles
the Olympics
For the first time since then, China's men's three major balls collectively did not reach the
the Olympics
Final Lap.
In contrast, women's soccer and volleyball are more reassuring.
The country's women's soccer team, though not at the top of the international ladder, is ranked 14th and this year's
the Olympics
The performance on the field "deserved" something - at least a group exit;
Our women's volleyball team, under the leadership of Lang Ping and the spirit of the women's volleyball team, seems to have no problem moving forward.
However, the women's soccer team lost miserably and the women's volleyball team failed to break through in the final match.
On the flip side, the women's basketball team made a surprise run to the Elite Eight.
Outside public opinion on the women's football coach Jia Xiuquan criticism and attacks continue, women's volleyball free agent Wang Mengjie also once became the focus of attention.

When an athlete's performance falls short of expectations, it is natural to be questioned by outsiders.
However, we have chosen to "turn a blind eye" to the plight of the men's three major sports.
The records of the men's soccer team, men's basketball team and men's volleyball team have long been taken for granted by the nation;
Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi retired, Yi Jianlian was injured, the men's basketball team seems to have lost its bright spot; the men's volleyball team is out of the running for the third straight time
the Olympics
The final, it doesn't matter what it looks like.
While our men's big three continues to deliver embarrassing results, we have shifted more attention to the women's big three program - which makes it impossible to accept any of their losses.
Jia Xiuquan selection controversy is just the tip of the iceberg of the women's soccer dilemma. How to make women's soccer healthy development in the country, how to let the women's volleyball team in the era of Lang Ping to continue the spirit of women's volleyball team, is the problem we should think deeply.
Competitor analysis
The power of the host should not be underestimated
As the host, Japan's three major ball sports programs were automatically awarded this year's
the Olympics
Qualification for the final round. However, in the final round, the performance of Japan's top three soccer teams was the envy of the nation.
The Japanese men's soccer team almost reached the podium, the men's volleyball team advanced to the last eight after 29 years, the men's basketball team lost all three matches and did not get out of the group; the Japanese women's soccer team made it to the last eight, the women's volleyball team did not get out of the group, and the women's basketball team won the silver medal.
In terms of programs, performance and overall strength, our volleyball and men's basketball might be able to compete with Japan in terms of programs.
However, the two teams are 50/50 in the record of the women's basketball teams that have played each other in China and Japan.
Our men's soccer and volleyball teams are already at a significant disadvantage against Japan.
"This time it's kind of like we're opening our eyes to the world again. The international level has gotten bigger and bigger with us, and we have to work hard to climb, from the professional league to training, to the combination of physical education for youth." Yao Ming once made these thought-provoking remarks.

The road to professionalization is a long one
The word "professionalization" appears frequently in the three major domestic football leagues.
Lippi, the man hailed as the savior of the national football team, also had the idea of creating a grand national team.

The mature professionalization of the league can provide a sufficient number and quality of athletes for the different age groups of the national level.
However, the domestic soccer league is limited to "
China Super League (soccer league)
"The scope of the fire, the low attention of the Central League, the Central League B, the reserve team matches door to door.
In order to cultivate young talents, the Football Association began to implement the u23 policy in 2017, but such a policy has also had a negative effect, the age of the u23 players can even be sold for 100 million yuan.
In contrast, the president of the Japan Football Association (JFA), Ken Naganuma, formulated the "Youth Development Plan for the New Century" at the beginning of the 21st century. 20 years' gap is evident.
Japanese women's soccer team took seven years to complete the adult, u20 and u17 three age groups of the International Cup "Grand Slam"; Japan's women's basketball team is the main competitor of the Asian women's basketball team; Japan's men's basketball team now also has two players who can enter the rotation in the NBA. All of this is its real "professionalization" to achieve.
Since the beginning of the G7 reform, the slogan of "separation of management and organization" has been sounded for more than 20 years, but now it is just "shouting".
