Li Tielu, deputy dean of the School of Athletics at Beijing Sport University: The Chinese track and field team's historical breakthrough in multiple events is not accidental. It is the inevitable result of China's track and field team's continuous efforts to improve the overall level and accumulate accumulated experience. First of all, it is inseparable from the guarantee of the state and the support of the general public for track and field. This is the foundation; secondly, Chinese track and field has always followed the path of reform, innovation and development. For example, the reform of the project management department has become more rational, and then our Coaches and athletes prepare carefully and use technology to prepare for competition. These are all direct factors affecting the development of our track and field. Therefore, it is not a sudden phenomenon, but a process of gradual improvement.
According to experts, as early as 2009, the Chinese track and field team began to implement the "invite in, go out" development strategy. By the end of 2019, a total of 17 high-level foreign teachers had been hired in the men's 100 meters, race walking and other events. , which has promoted China's track and field training concepts and methods to move closer to international high levels as soon as possible; at the same time, it has signed contracts with foreign training bases to encourage athletes to compete overseas, achieve the effect of combining competition and training, and gradually gain confidence.

Li Tielu, deputy dean of the School of Athletics at Beijing Sport University: Technology and training are on the one hand. As a person, mental strength is very important. Why are old athletes like Su Bingtian, including Gong Lijiao, making breakthroughs again and again?

In fact, there are many things we need to summarize. We must carefully summarize our past successful experience. I think Chinese track and field has this momentum and must maintain it. We should make good use of the sports power strategy proposed by the country. Among them, there is a big policy of integrating sports and education. We should make good use of our young coaches and young talents to train and attract them in large quantities so that our track and field can develop sustainably. , use the power of society to jointly build our track and field, let China's track and field go to the world and win glory for the country.
