Shanghai, as an economically-developed metropolis in China, has brought up quite a few elite athletes for China's competitive sports. Yet the cultivation of Shanghai reserved competitive sports talents is facing a crisis. Shanghai has to bring in many athletes from other provinces and municipalities in order to win good results in the National Games. This measure offsets Shanghai's urgent need for reserved talents, but it has also brought about lots of problems, such as the blockade of Shanghai's original talent conveying system, the reduction of Shanghai Amateur sports training expenditure and number of the people for amateur training, how the bring-in athletes will survive after their retirement, etc. Shanghai should consider both the construction of a world metropolitan city and the sustainable development of competitive sports. It should change its original way of thinking for the development of competitive sports and try to build up competitive sports with world influence based on the city development characteristics and the experience of Shanghai. |
