Revision of the selection method of world competition

1. When selecting athletes to participate in the Olympic Games, the World Championships, the Asian Games and the World Cup, the national track and field team only looks at the sports performance and does not consider any other conditions.

2. Cancel the priority principle of selecting athletes in international competitions and world competitions, and select them by means of designated trial training.

3. Adhere to the principle of competing in the same field and selecting the best candidates, and delete the original contents such as "international competition is better than domestic competition, world competition is better than general international competition" and "athletes with good and stable performance in international competitions are preferred".

This change won a lot of praise. Everyone thinks that the revised selection mechanism is fairer, and more athletes have the opportunity to stand out, especially for potential newcomers, with a fairer competitive environment.

The Chinese Athletics Association recently revised the "Measures for Selecting Athletes and Coaches in World Athletics Events", taking sports performance as the only criterion for selecting competitions.

There are 49 athletes of China Track and Field Team who have achieved the entry standard of Tokyo Olympic Games in 18 events. Nine events, including men's 20km race walk, men's 50km race walk and men's marathon, were full. After the adjustment of the selection mechanism, I believe that more athletes will have the opportunity to attack the door of the Tokyo Olympic Games in a fairer and more just environment.
