Isn t an Olympic gold medal in football the highest honour, why?

With the development of the times, the professionalization of sports is in full swing around the world, if professional athletes are kept out, the influence of the Olympic Games is bound to be greatly damaged, so the Olympic Committee for "amateur athletes" The threshold has been lowered again and again, until the eighties of the last century completely abolished the restrictions on professional athletes. But at this time, after 80 years of painstaking operation, FIFA has long been full-fledged, and the World Cup has grown into the only event whose influence can be compared with the Olympic Games, and there is even a tendency to overshadow the Olympics. In the past, you had a big shelf in the International Olympic Committee and looked down on professional players, but now I don't need to hug your thighs for my own big business, and you came over to share the family property with me, why?

No, no, I don't agree ( So on the issue of formulating the rules for men's football in the Olympic Games, FIFA and the IOC have been arguing for a long time, what players who have participated in the World Cup are not allowed to participate, players who have participated in the World Cup in Europe and the United States are not allowed to participate, etc., resulting in a very embarrassing status of the Olympic men's football event. It wasn't until the 1988 Seoul Olympics that the two institutions finally reached a compromise: the age limit for the men's Olympic football team was 23; Ahead of Atlanta 1996, FIFA made a slight concession and allowed three overage players per team.

Since then, the Olympic men's football team has officially become a youth football event, it is not recognized as an international A-level event, and it cannot win points for the national team (in terms of the three criteria I mentioned at the beginning, that is, it is not recognized in the circle), even if high-level overage players voluntarily win glory for the country, the club is completely confident not to let it go (Messi had a rather unpleasant quarrel with Barcelona FC in 08 to participate in the Olympic Games), and the commercial value is not the same as the World Cup. Under such conditions, how can the Olympic men's football event win the World Cup? On the other hand, women's football, although it only entered the Olympic Games in 1996, due to the limited degree of commercialization and few entanglements of interests, FIFA is very generous to the IOC, not only does not make any restrictions on age, but also recognizes the Olympic Games as an international A-level event, there are a lot of points to take, and the platform of the Olympic Games is not known to be higher than the Women's World Cup, and the commercial value should not be underestimated, so the influence of the Olympic women's football team soon caught up with the Women's World Cup and became the women's football event with the highest gold content in the world.

Pele has countless medals and trophies in his life, but there is no Olympic champion, Pele himself said: "Because professional players are not allowed to participate in the Olympic Games" to the current Olympic Games The teams participating in the Olympic Games are all based on U23, there are very few players who can be named, football is too developed, the league plus various cups, it can be said that the competition is continuous within a year, and all positions of the giant teams are top, skilled in long-term cooperation, and the play is better than the national team games, everyone usually pays too much attention, So there's really a lot of attention at the Olympics. On the other hand, what do you like to watch at the Olympics?

It's definitely track and field, the time is very short (two hours after a football game), everyone can understand (who is faster and who is the champion, there are too many football rules) <>

There are three main factors that affect the international status of an event: heritage, commercial value and recognition within the circle. The Olympics certainly have no shortage of heritage:

The International Olympic Committee was founded in 1894, the first Olympic Games were held in Athens, Greece in 1896, in this Olympic Games, men's football has become a performance event, only four years later, men's football in the Paris Olympics became an official event, and after four years, FIFA was officially established, as for the first World Cup, it was not until 1930, when the Olympic Games have become a very influential international event, to this day, still with the World Cup, F1 is also known as the world's three major races. It can be said that in terms of heritage, even if the Olympic Games cannot be said to be "higher than the World Cup", at least they can wrestle with the World Cup. So, why didn't the Olympics use their preemptive advantage and strong international influence to make the Olympic men's football team a top-level competition to shoulder the World Cup?

It starts with the rules of the Olympic Games: in the early Olympic Games, professional athletes were not allowed to participate, because the Olympic Committee believed that allowing these people who made a living from sports to participate in the competition was against the Olympic spirit and undermined the fairness of the competition. At the 1912 Stockholm Olympics, an American track and field athlete named Jim Thorpe won the men's pentathlon and decathlon championships by a landslide.

But shortly after the Olympics, he was stripped of his gold medal on the grounds that he had joined the East Carolina Baseball League team in 1909 1910 for a salary of $2 per game and $35 a week. It is conceivable that with such strict rules, professional athletes with a high level of performance will easily be excluded from the Olympic Games. Fortunately, the vast majority of sports at the time were very professional and did not have much impact on the Olympic Games.

First of all, unlike other sports, football has a game system and the game is very well organized, just like tennis. There are four Grand Slam tournaments in tennis.

This is the highest honour in tennis, and most players will work hard to earn the accolade that everyone recognises, and professional players were initially not allowed to compete at the Olympics. To participate in the Olympics, even fans and players do not attach much importance to the negotiating table of the Olympics. To solve this problem, the IOC.

Professional athletes have been approved to compete in the last few years, but as tennis players have already very tight schedules and don't have much physical strength to participate. Olympics, so there is no interest.

In the same way, the IOC does not allow professional players to compete, so no one cares, but players aged 23 or under are allowed to compete, but also to make changes that allow each team of three to compete. Players who are over the age of participation. However, most of the best players in the world participate in the European Championships at the highest level, and the competition schedule for the European Championships is very tight, with players participating in tournaments and trophies, as well as the Champions League or European Cup.

European Union as well as national teams. Therefore, it is difficult to leave the Olympic Games for 30 days. Most players choose to take a break or air conditioning during a difficult holiday to prepare for the new season. Even the players don't value the Olympics. The important thing is the European champion and the World Cup winner.

Nobody puts effort into the Olympics, so no one cares.

Other sports do not have such tight schedules and perfect systems, and they also rely on the attention of the Olympics to promote the sport, and even the Olympics are their honor. With the development of the times, sports professionalism is in full swing around the world, and if professional athletes go out again, the impact of the Olympics is bound to be seriously affected, even if the IOC "amateur" threshold was not completely lifted until the 80s of the last century, when restrictions on professional athletes were completely lifted. But at this time, after 80 years of hard work, FIFA.

Already having a full pavilion, the World Cup has also developed into an impact of the Olympic Games, which can only go hand in hand with the Olympics and even become the focus of the Olympic Games.

I used to be on the shelves of the IOC, not looking at professional players, and now my big business doesn't need your thigh hugs, you can let me divide the property, why? Until the 1988 Seoul Olympics.

The two institutions finally reached a compromise: the men's soccer Olympics are limited to 23 years old; At the 1996 Atlanta Olympics.

Previously, FIFA made concessions. Small enough to allow three senior players from each team to play.

The highest honour in most sports is an Olympic gold medal, but there are many exceptions. For example, football, F1 racing, NBA and other sports are missing out on the big picture, because these individual sports organizations are strong enough to not be constrained by the Olympic Organizing Committee. Moreover, the public also recognizes that the events organized by these individual sports have sufficient audience base support.

There is no need for the Olympic Games to be a big tree to enjoy the shade.

First of all, football is not like other sports, its own game system and game organization are already very sound, similar to tennis football.

The Olympic football competition is a sport, and there is only one gold medal for the champion, and the gold medal is not awarded according to the number of people.

Football is a team event, and only one gold medal is counted for one event (individual or team) in the Olympic Games.

Like football, basketball, volleyball, etc., the number of gold medals is determined by event, and after winning the championship, each team will only have one gold medal, but each athlete will receive one medal.

For example, in the 2016 Rio Olympics, the Chinese women's volleyball team won the women's volleyball championship and won the gold medal, and the total number of gold medals is calculated according to one medal.

In terms of ratings, the Olympics have a slight advantage over the FIFA World Cup. According to the global broadcast of the 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia, it can be known that the World Cup has a viewership of 100 million. The most recent Summer Olympics, held in Rio de Janeiro in 2016, attracted the attention of 3.6 billion viewers, according to a report by Statista.

However, in terms of individual events, there is no sporting event that can match the ratings of the World Cup final. About 100 million people** played at least a minute in the 2018 World Cup final between France and Croatia.

In terms of the number of athletes, the Olympics are far ahead. Also in terms of the breadth of the organization, the Olympics require a variety of different facilities, while the World Cup only needs a football field. Most countries already have football stadiums that only need to be renovated, while the Olympics require all sorts of things, such as water sports centers, bike paths, ski facilities, shooting ranges, etc.

In terms of the number of participating countries, the Olympics also have an advantage. In the 2018 FIFA World Cup, 209 countries participated in the qualifying tournaments, but the number of main events was reduced to 32. Meanwhile, a total of 206 countries participated in the Rio 2016 Olympic Games.

The sheer number of participants and the sheer scale of the event make the Olympics the biggest sporting event in the world, but in the near future, the FIFA World Cup could be a game-changer for Olympic viewership.

To sum up, the current influence of the Olympic Games is still greater than that of the World Cup, but because the cost of holding the Olympic Games is higher and the benefits are not much, I believe that the World Cup will definitely exceed the influence of the Olympic Games in the future.

The first place in the number of gold medals in the Olympic Games and the first place in the Football World Cup, of course, is the first place in the number of gold medals in the Olympic Games. More influential. Because the Olympics is a worldwide competition. He has a lot of sports. Football games, on the other hand, are more single-minded.

Of course, the first place in the number of gold medals in the Olympic debate is more powerful than the first place in the Football World Cup, because of the Olympic gold medal. The gold content is particularly high. And it contains a lot of divination. Motion. The game of football is relatively simple.

Of course, it is the first place in the World Cup, and it is more influential, and the first place in the total number of Olympic gold medals is only a certain amount of influence at the time, but no one will remember it later, and the first place in the Football World Cup, that will go down in history, and even affect it for decades.

I chose the number of Olympic gold medals first, because the number of Olympic gold medals is a reflection of a country's overall strength, especially in terms of economy. In the last century, when Japan's economy was very developed, the number of Olympic medals always ranked first, but in recent years, with the rapid development of China's economy, the number of gold medals has also risen!

Our Chinese football has been in a tepid state, in fact, some aspects have a lot to do with people's physique, in general, European and American countries are larger, which has already occupied an advantage in football, weightlifting will be according to the weight of the body to stipulate the level of the round, football I think can also develop in this area.

But whether it's the Olympics or football, his essence is a spirit. A spirit of hard work and never giving up. At the same time, it also pursues to improve the physical fitness of the whole people and make everyone healthier.

In this case, as long as we have a favorite sport and pursue it for a long time, it is a very high level. At the same time, we should develop the sports we are good at according to the physical characteristics of the Chinese in Wangjizhen, which is the Chinese characteristic.

Football is the world's number one sport, and the Olympic gold medal is possible for a big country, through throwing money and crowd tactics, it is possible to win the first number of gold medals, which is to fight for national strength and population.

Football is about football culture and real competitive level, and a football star has the potential to influence a generation.

And the champion of the rough model of the World Olympics is like a carp crossing the river, and its influence is limited.

Hello: The first name of the football World Cup is more influential, because the first place in the number of gold medals in the Olympic Games is due to the number of gold medals composed of multiple competitions, and the football World Cup is the world's top blind football team playing together, and only for football, relatively speaking, the football World Cup is more influential!

Therefore, the first place in the Football World Cup will be more influential than the first place in the number of gold medals in the Olympic Games!
