corruption in sports: the shadow of the gold medal


한어Русский языкEnglishFrançaisIndonesianSanskrit日本語DeutschPortuguêsΕλληνικάespañolItalianoSuomalainenLatina

as a cultural carrier, sports carry the honor and dreams of the nation. it should not be a stage for "shady stories" but a stage for fair competition. the concept of "gold medal supremacy" seems to have become a shackle on the development of sports. mr. tian siyuan once pointed out, "there is a kind of corruption in the sports world, which only exists in the sports world and not in other fields, that is, competition. corruption in competition is not an individual behavior, but often a collective behavior, organizational behavior, and government behavior." this means that sports corruption is not a single individual behavior, but a systemic problem formed by power structure, interest distribution and institutional defects.

in the field of competitive sports, profit orientation and profit distribution have always been the root problems. in pursuit of "gold medals", athletes and coaches even take risks and violate the spirit of sports, resulting in the infringement of fairness and justice, which ultimately damages the original spiritual value of sports and tarnishes the image of chinese sports.

as the cornerstone of social order, laws and regulations play a vital role in preventing and combating sports corruption. however, the current situation of sports rule of law in my country has "four shortcomings", namely delayed legislation, interest-based law enforcement, formalistic supervision and judicial marginalization. this means that it is crucial to formulate a sound legal system and an effective supervision mechanism to prevent sports corruption.

the state sports general administration's move to "not publish the gold medal list" is undoubtedly an attempt, but it has also triggered a discussion on the issue of sports corruption. many people believe that simply changing the system will not eradicate the idea of ​​"gold medal supremacy". they hope that by establishing a scientific and comprehensive sports development evaluation system and constructing scientific evaluation indicators for sports development from multiple perspectives, this mindset can be broken and the healthy development of sports can be promoted.

solving the problem of sports corruption cannot be achieved without the joint efforts of society. it requires the government, social organizations and every participant to work together to create a more fair, just and transparent environment for the development of chinese sports.
