With the curtain yet to be raised on the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, Chinese culture has captivated Paris with the launch of the China House, which highlights for the world the country's rich history and modern achievements.在巴黎奥运会即将开幕之际，“中国之家”于7月24日在巴黎所罗门罗斯柴尔德公馆开门迎宾。Visitors to the China House can try some of the Olympic sports' earliest forms, such as pitch-pot, which tests participants' accuracy as much as modern archery by requiring them to throw arrows into a distant pot, and cuju, the ancient ball-kicking game that some consider to be a prototype of soccer.不少参观“中国之家”的游客能够在此尝试最早的奥林匹克运动，如投壶，即要求参与者将箭射入远处的壶中，从而考验参与者投掷的准确性；蹴鞠，古代一种踢球游戏，被认为是足球的原型。The China House, a pavilion set up at the Hotel Salomon de Rothschild in Paris, opened to visitors on Wednesday and has captured the attention of Parisians and others with plenty of galleries, exhibits, demonstration events and social-networking activities on the sidelines of the Summer Games.7月24日，“中国之家”正式向游客开放，吸引了不少巴黎游客和其他地区游客的注意，在本次巴黎奥运会期间，游客们可参观中国特色画廊、展区、智慧体育互动装置及和现代科技社交活动。China's profound history, tradition and culture in sports participation, dating back thousands of years, as well as sports exchanges between China and the Games' host, France, are among highlights of this year's pavilion.中国的体育方面有着深厚的历史、传统和文化，可追溯到几千年前。本次中国与法国在此次巴黎2024奥运会的体育交流，成为今年“中国之家”的亮点。The launch of the house, a routine effort by the Chinese Olympic Committee since the first "China hut" was set up during the 2004 Athens Olympics, will take advantage of Olympics exposure to promote Chinese culture and friendship with the rest of the world, according to the COC.据中国奥委会称，自2004年雅典奥运会期间创建第一个“北京小屋”以来，中国奥委会一直致力于将奥运会特色与推广中国文化和与世界各地友谊结合起来。"The China House has opened a window to our country's rich history, traditional sports culture, modern achievements and friendly exchanges with the whole world over the past 20 years," Yu Jianyong, a deputy secretary-general of the COC, said on Wednesday."This year in particular, we put a series of recent exchanges between China and France in the areas of sports and cultural development on display at the facility, to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between our two countries and to hail the joint efforts between China and France to promote the Olympic Movement," said Yu. “‘中国之家'是展示中国体育发展成就和中华优秀体育文化的平台，也是促进中外友好交流、推动文明互鉴的桥梁。”国家体育总局体育器材装备中心主任、中国奥委会副秘书长于建勇说，“巴黎‘中国之家'将会和法国社会各界人士进行交流互动，并组织中法运动员在这里进行一系列活动，推动中法友谊继续迈进。”Visitors to the China House can watch a giant background screen featuring animated films that vividly depict activities by ancient Chinese such as boat diving, archery and wrestling.参观“中国之家”的游客可以在LED巨幕上观看中国特色的动画影片，生动地描绘了中国古代的体育活动，如划船、中国射道和角力（摔跤）。Exhibitions featuring artifacts, scroll painting and sculptures document the Chinese people's sports participation through the dynasties, while the country's prowess at modern Olympic Games is demonstrated with medals, trophies and commemorative pins.以文物、卷轴、壁画、和雕塑为特色的展区记录了中国古代人民参与体育运动的场景，奖牌、奖杯和纪念徽章则展示了中国在当代奥林匹克的实力。Some China House visitors who are featured in the exhibits couldn't hold back their emotions after reviewing and reliving their history-making moments.不少参观“中国之家”的游客参观者在回望中国的历史后难以抑制内心的情绪。"I've seen a lot of Chinese elements since arriving in Paris, and the sports and culture demonstration at the China House today took my breath away again," said Hui Ruoqi, a retired volleyball star who was a member of China's gold-medal women's team at 2016 Rio Olympics."I've met a lot of foreign visitors today asking me more of the stories behind the pictures on display. This has clearly shown an increasing interest around the world in the development of Chinese sports. ""Hopefully, the seeds of interest planted here will bring more foreigners to visit China and help them get to know China better," she said.前中国女子排球运动员、2016年里约奥运会女排冠军惠若琪说：“自从来到巴黎，我看到了很多中国的元素，今天在‘中国之家'看到体育和文化的展示再次让我叹为观止。今天我遇到了很多外国游客，他们向我询问一些图片背后的故事，这也代表着全世界对中国体育发展的兴趣日益浓厚。希望在这里播下的种子能吸引更多的外国人来中国旅游，帮助他们更好地了解中国。”

The Asian Games flame is about to be extinguished, but its spirit will live on," said Gao Zhidan, organizing committee president.组委会主席高志丹表示：“钱塘江源源不断地流入大海，亚洲之光将在未来继续闪耀。亚运会的火炬即将熄灭，但亚运精神将永远留存。”"On this continent where countries share mountains, rivers and close cultural bonds, let's promote peace, solidarity and inclusiveness through sports, uphold the Asian Games spirit, and work together to create a better future. Together, we will write a new chapter of an Asian community with a shared future," added Gao, also president of the Chinese Olympic Committee.高志丹也是中国奥委会主席。他补充道：“在这片亚洲大地上，我们共享山河，有着紧密的文化联结。让我们以体育促和平、促团结、促包容，维护亚运精神，共创美好未来，合力续写亚洲命运共同体的崭新篇章。”Enhanced with AR visual effects, the stadium, also known as the "Big Lotus", turned into a blooming garden with 19 giant osmanthus flowers during the parade of athletes, symbolizing the diversity of Asian cultures and the prosperity of Asia.奥体中心体育场也被成为“大莲花”。在AR视觉效果的辅助下，体育场在运动员入场时变成了盛开的花园，19朵巨大的桂花象征着亚洲文化的多样与亚洲的繁荣。Xie Zhenye, who achieved a golden double in the men's 100m and 4x100m relay in Hangzhou, served as Chinese delegation's flagbearer at the closing ceremony.谢震业担任中国代表队的闭幕式旗手。他在本届亚运会夺得了男子100米和4×100米接力两枚金牌。Transforming from spectators to participants, athletes marched into the stadium as part of the performance, along with elements of musical theater and art installations in the Asian Garden.运动员从观众变成了参与者。他们伴随着音乐和艺术装置走入体育场的亚运花园，成为了演出的一部分。With the OCA flag lowered and the OCA anthem played, Hangzhou mayor Yao Gaoyuan handed the flag to Singh, who entrusted the flag to Hideaki Omura, governor of Aichi prefecture and Hideo Nakata, deputy mayor of Nagoya, the host city of the 2026 Asian Games.伴着亚奥理事会会歌，亚奥理事会会旗缓缓降下。杭州市市长姚高员将亚运会会旗交给了辛格，辛格将旗帜交给了2026年亚运会举办城市日本爱知县知事大村秀章和名古屋市副市长中田英雄。Echoing with the opening ceremony where a digital torchbearer lit the cauldron together with swimming Olympic champion Wang Shun, the digital torchbearer returned for the closing ceremony.本届亚运会开幕式上，一名数字火炬手与游泳奥运冠军汪顺共同点燃了圣火盆。作为回应，数字火炬手再次现身闭幕式。Following the extinguishing of the cauldron, the digital torchbearer stepped out and transformed into starlight filling up the night sky, passing on the flame of sports and the spirit of the Asian Games.圣火盆熄灭后，数字火炬手走出来，化作星光，散落夜空，将体育之火和亚运精神传递下去。Behind China, Japan finished in second place with 52 gold, 67 silver and 69 bronze medals, followed by South Korea on 42-59-89. 27 countries and regions won gold medals, while 41 delegations pocketed at least one medal.日本队以52枚金牌、67枚银牌和69枚铜牌排在中国队之后，位居奖牌榜第二。韩国队以42枚金牌、59枚银牌和89枚铜牌位居第三。27个国家和地区的代表队获得了金牌，41个代表队摘得至少一枚奖牌。China's swimmers Zhang Yufei and Qin Haiyang were jointly awarded Most Valuable Player (MVP) of the Asian Games on Saturday.中国的游泳选手张雨霏和覃海洋于10月7日双双获得亚运会最有价值运动员。Olympic champion Zhang, 25, clinched six titles in her signature events, while 24-year-old world champion Qin pocketed five golds and a silver on his second Asiad appearance.25岁的奥运冠军张雨霏在个人善长的项目中获得了六枚金牌，24岁的世界冠军覃海洋在个人第二届亚运会中获得了五枚金牌和一枚银牌。Their compatriots Li Bingjie, Xu Jiayu and Wang Shun also made a splash in the pool with a haul of multiple gold medals, while Oluwakemi Mujidat Adekoya of Bahrain and China's Wang Chuqin clinched four golds in athletics and table tennis respectively.两人的队友李冰洁、徐嘉余和汪顺也在游泳项目中斩获多枚金牌。巴林队选手奥卢娃克米·穆吉达特·阿德科亚和中国队选手王楚钦分别在田径和乒乓球比赛中获得了四枚金牌。The Hangzhou Asiad also produced world-leading performances with a total of 13 world records having been broken.杭州亚运会中，13项世界纪录被打破，彰显领跑世界的水准。Enduring Memories of Hangzhoun.最忆是杭州Hangzhou organizing committee (HAGOC)n.杭州亚运会组委会

Well prepared and fully protected, China's Olympic teams have arrived in Tokyo safe and sound on a mission to do their country proud at the pandemic-hit Summer Games.在充分做好防疫准备后，中国的奥运代表团已经安全抵达东京，肩负着在受疫情影响的夏季奥运会上为国争光的使命。With four days to go before the 2020 Tokyo Olympics open on Friday, the majority of China's 431-athlete delegation had traveled to the Japanese capital on chartered flights by Sunday, kicking off the country's campaign to finish high in the medal tally at the multisports mega event, which was delayed for a year due to the COVID-19 pandemic.距离2020年东京奥运会于周五举行的开幕是还有四天时间，中国431名运动员代表团中的大多数人已于周日乘坐包机前往日本首都，拉开了中国在这因疫情而被推迟一年的多项目大型赛事中获得奖牌的序幕。Wearing masks and protective goggles, and some behind face shields, athletes and coaches from China's celebrated Olympics teams, including table tennis, women's soccer and badminton, appeared in high spirits at Narita International Airport over the weekend, to the excitement of awaiting supporters and photographers.周末，来自中国包括乒乓球、女子足球和羽毛球的著名奥运代表队的运动员和教练员们戴着口罩和防护镜，有些还戴着面罩，精神抖擞地出现在成田国际机场，让等待的支持者和摄影师们兴奋不已。After an extra year of the waiting, Chinese Olympians have been braced for not just athletic challenges, but also strict pandemic-control restrictions at arguably the toughest Olympic Games in history.经过额外一年的等待，中国的奥运选手们已经做好准备，在这个可以说是历史上最艰难的奥运会上，不仅要面对运动方面的挑战，还要面对严格的疫情防控限制。"It takes a little longer than before, but the trip is fairly smooth, and my whole team is in good condition and ready for title challenges," Liu Guoliang, president of the Chinese Table Tennis Association, said on Saturday after going through complicated formalities that included a COVID-19 test upon landing in Tokyo.周六，中国乒协主席刘国梁在抵达东京并经过包括核酸检测等复杂的手续后说：“比以前多花了一点时间，但这次旅行相当顺利，我的整个团队状况良好，准备迎接冠军挑战。Some of the teams, arriving in peak hours at the airport, had to wait up to five hours before receiving their negative test results and being allowed to go.一些在高峰期抵达机场的队伍不得不等待5个小时，才收到他们的阴性检测结果并被允许出发。"It's understandable under this special situation during the COVID-19 pandemic, since epidemic-prevention is very important," said Jia Xiuquan, head coach of the women's soccer squad, adding that, regarding the requirements, the stricter the better.“在新冠疫情特殊情况下，这是可以理解的，因为防疫非常重要，”女足主教练贾秀全说，并补充说，防疫要求越严格越好。Led by 24 Olympic champions and guided by experienced coaches, including 30 hired from abroad, the Chinese teams will compete on a goal set by delegation chief Gou Zhongwen to stay at least within the top three on the overall medal table in Tokyo, and to try to better China's haul of 26 gold medals at the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games.在24名奥运冠军和经验丰富的教练员和从国外聘请的30名教练的带领下，中国队将按照中国体育代表团团长苟仲文制定的目标进行比赛，即在东京奥运会上至少保持在奖牌榜前三名，并努力超越中国在2016年里约热内卢奥运会上获得的26枚金牌。Gou, minister of the General Administration of Sport of China, stressed that it's a top priority that all Chinese athletes have to compete with sportsmanship and discipline, holding a zero-tolerance stance against doping.国家体育总局局长苟仲文强调，所有中国运动员必须以体育精神纪律参加比赛，对兴奋剂采取零容忍的态度，这是一个首要任务。China will count on athletes from six traditionally strong sports－table tennis, diving, weight-lifting, shooting, gymnastics and badminton－to bolster its medal hopes. Yet the host's improving strength in both racket sports and the strong competition from the United States in gymnastics and Germany in shooting have heralded tough battles for gold.中国将依靠六个传统强项的运动员——乒乓球、跳水、举重、射击、体操和羽毛球——来加强其获奖可能性。然而，东道主在两个球拍项目上的实力不断提高，加之美国在体操项目和德国在射击项目上的强劲竞争，都预示着激烈的金牌争夺战。Designated to march into the opening ceremony as 111th among the delegations, Team China will be spearheaded by two flag-bearers－men's taekwondo reigning champion Zhao Shuai and women's volleyball star Zhu Ting, who were confirmed by the Chinese Olympic Committee on Saturday as being selected to shoulder the duty of honor.中国代表团在开幕式第111位出场，将由两名旗手带头——男子跆拳道卫冕冠军赵帅和女子排球明星朱婷，他们在周六被中国奥委会确认肩负荣誉之责。Zhu helped the Chinese women's squad claim a high-profile gold medal in volleyball five years ago in Rio, and Zhao made history by winning China's first Olympic gold in men's taekwondo when he triumphed in the 58 kg category in Brazil.朱婷在五年前的里约奥运会上为中国女排获得了一块备受瞩目的排球金牌，而赵帅则创造了历史，他在巴西获得了中国男子跆拳道58公斤级的首枚奥运金牌。"I really appreciate the trust from our delegation. It's a huge honor for me to be named the flag-bearer. I feel greatly motivated by it," said 26-year-old Zhu, captain of the Chinese team.“真的很感谢我们代表团的信任。对我来说，担任旗手是一个巨大的荣誉。让我备受鼓舞”，26岁的中国队队长朱婷说。"Watching our national flag hoisted along with the national anthem is always my goal, and that of the Chinese women's volleyball team as well."“看着我们的国旗随着国歌升起，一直是我的目标，也是中国女排的目标。”

On this week's episode, Harvey shares a conversation with the brilliant Austin Einhorn - Founder of Apiros Movement Training in Santa Cruz, California.  During his tenure of coaching movement, Austin has had the privilege to help athletes and organizations in every major professional sports league in America; including the PGA, Seattle Seahawks, Houston Rockets, US Men's National Volleyball Team, Stanford Men's Volleyball Team, Chinese Olympic Committee, and professional surfers.   Before finding his career in natural movement training, Austin had a decorated career playing volleyball at the University of California - Santa Cruz.  He garnered a 3-time All American status, helping the program finish 2nd and 3rd in the NCAA Tournament. Austin's journey growing up as a naturally curious kid, as well as his passion for athletics led him to constantly internally challenge the current movement training paradigm.  He views the path of athletic mastery as an "encompassing blissful journey where we progressively improve our beliefs, movements, language, the optimization of our cellular and mitochondrial health, psychology and more." As Harvey and Austin dive deeply into the nuance of movement, they discuss the misunderstanding of shoulder movement, the value in learning how babies move, the evolution of movement through in history and through a lifetime, and Austin's quest to minimize non-contact injury.  Check out where to find the key insights below!

On this episode of The Fight Business Podcast, Patrick Auger discusses the most significant topics from the business-side of mixed martial arts this week. Beginning with the news that Brock Lesnar has officially become a free agent, Auger explains that fans shouldn't pin their hopes on Lesnar returning to MMA. Auger points out that Lesnar has, for the most part, previously let his contract lapse to create bidding wars between the WWE, UFC, and other interested parties. Auger expects Lesnar to return to WWE. Then, Auger discusses the potential Jorge Masvidal vs. Nate Diaz rematch for the BMF title. What does this mean for the UFC? Most importantly, this leaves the door open for the winner to face Conor McGregor. Auger also breaks down Daniel Cormier's recent announcement of a $1 million payday following his loss to Jon Jones, as well as why we shouldn't be surprised by the Dana White's Contender Series signings and also how the UFC Shanghai Performance Institute will become a "high-performance training centre for the Chinese Olympic Committee."

After a little break for Chinese New Year, we return to the airwaves with our first out of town guest - and where better to grab them from than across the border? Toronto native, Andrew Kacsor is based in China where he started off with the Chinese Olympic Committee, working wth the Olympic Canoe Team and is now in the midst of his first year as the Head Strength and Conditioning Coach for the KRS Vanke Rays Professional Ice Hockey Team in Shenzhen. Recorded on January 11, 2020

In the first in a series of Business of Sport podcasts with the International Sports Convention, Callum Murray speaks to Sarah Lewis, secretary general of the FIS, the international ski federation. One of the very few women in a senior administrative and governance role in an international Olympic sport federation, Sarah joined the FIS in 1994, having been a member of the British Alpine Ski Team from 1982 to 1988 and competed in the 1987 FIS Alpine World Ski Championships and 1988 winter Olympic Games. With a reputation for strong opinions and plain speaking, Sarah begins by addressing the Corona virus epidemic, after the FIS was forced to cancel one of its World Cup events scheduled to be held in China this spring, as a result of the outbreak. The event was due to be the first-ever FIS World Cup in China, as well as a test event for the 2022 winter Olympic Games in Beijing, but the FIS took the advice of its own medical commission, as well as the local organising committee and the Chinese Olympic Committee in making the difficult decision to cancel the event. The FIS will now consider how and when to reschedule the event, Sarah explains. Two weeks before the podcast was recorded, Sarah had attended the third edition of the winter Youth Olympic Games, held in the Olympic capital of Lausanne, Switzerland. What does the FIS gain from participation in those games, and what did Sarah herself, a member of the IOC's co-ordination commission for the games, learn from them? For FIS, says Sarah, the games “provide a great opportunity to underline the importance of the development pathway for youth sports in a very high-profile setting, which is what the Olympic brand gives you.” The games also offer the opportunity to showcase new formats and create a workshop for the overall revised Olympic model, including decentralisation and the use of existing facilities. The FIS has just launched its own eSports game, World Cup Racing, and Sarah goes on to discuss the eSports phenomenon. There has been some controversy over the IOC's apparent flirtation with eSports. Some think computer games simply encourage inactivity; others regard eSports as valid sports in their own right. Could playing World Cup Ski Racing ever persuade a couch potato to put skis on and try the real thing? Yes, says Sarah, there's research that shows that up to 10 per cent of games players could be provoked to try out skiing for real, albeit “perhaps not on a World Cup downhill course for their very first experience!” The game represents “a new platform to promote skiing globally, a tool to reach out to an audience that we wouldn't normally have daily contact with,” Sarah says, as well as an additional revenue stream, with skiing brands providing the prizes, while revenues from in-game purchases are shared between the FIS, the game developer and national ski associations. Just two weeks after its launch, the game had received 50,000 unique installs from 170 countries, with 16,000 hours played, Sarah reveals. In May 2020, there will be a FIS presidential election, with GianFranco Kaspar, the long-serving incumbent, due to step down after 22 years in the role. What are Sarah's hopes for his successor, and could that person be a woman, for the first time in the FIS's history? A new president should remain true to the FIS's core mission to develop snow sports throughout the world, despite an increasing emphasis on developing revenues, Sarah says, while pointing out that the federation is already practising positive discrimination in favour of women, with at least three places set to be reserved for women on its board in future. Sarah also addresses the future of snow sports in an era of climate change, admitting that some low-lying resorts have been hard-hit, but stressing that many have diversified their income sources, by becoming year-round facilities catering for walkers and mountain bikers, as well as skiers. Meanwhile, the production of artificial snow has become much more efficient, using less water and less energy. Sarah concludes the podcast with advice to young people seeking a career in sports administration, her most memorable sporting moment, her top sporting hero and an answer to the difficult question: ‘What is sport for?'

Today’s guest is Joseph Coyne, exercise physiologist and sport scientist from Gold Coast, Australia.  Joseph is a well-rounded performance coach who has spent a lot of time recently in the realm of training world-class track and field sprinters and jumpers in China. I don’t remember exactly how I came across Joseph’s work, but the quality of his training videos are first class and I know he has also had tremendous mentors in the field, such as working with Randy Huntington.  From altering the paradigm on jump mats and testing, to resisted and assisted training, as well as special strength work in the gym, I’d been really looking forward to having Joseph on this podcast for some time. Joseph is currently the Physical Preparation Coach for the Chinese Athletics Association's jump & sprints section; where he handles the rehabilitation and strength & power training for China’s best track & field athletes.  Many of those he worked with had world top-20 marks.  Previously, he was the Performance Manager at the Chinese Olympic Committee’s National Sports Training Centre in Beijing in the lead up to the Rio Olympics.  He also spent time as a performance manager with the Chinese Olympic committee through EXOS, and had a long-running performance clinic in Queensland. Topics we’ll cover today are numerous, and will include sand sprinting, special strength for sprinters and jumpers, ideas on maximal strength for sprint athletes, complex training, ideas on jump training and the “maximal displacement” theory, hamstring training, and Joeseph’s work with the 1080 sprint and kBox. Today’s episode is brought to you by SimpliFaster, supplier of high-end athletic development tools, such as the Freelap timing system, kBox, Sprint 1080, and more. Key Points: Joseph’s background as an athlete and as a coach Sand sprinting for track and field sprinters Strength and special strength for sprint athletes Takes on maximal strength training for high end sprinters When and when not to use complex training means Maximal displacement as opposed to a simple RSI test in vertical jump work Usage of the 1080 sprint and kBox in training sprinters and jumpers Hamstring training and injury prevention Quotes “You can have awesome, (ideas for progression) in the weight room, but sometimes, you have a hamstring problem!” “My non-technical training is really simple, it’s either a max strength day, or it’s a power day” “I think instead of an RSI, look at maximal displacement at certain contact times” “You look at (the contact times for your event) and try to maximize displacement at those contact times” “I couldn’t do too many Nordic hamstrings with the guys because it would blow them up the back of the knee” “One thing with all the fascial length research is that isometrics can actually shorten the fascial length which may predispose you to injury; eccentrics definitely seem to lengthen it” “I go with a low volume approach for Nordic hamstrings; starting with 2 sets of 2” About Joseph Coyne Joseph Coyne is an exercise physiologist and sport scientist from Gold Coast, Australia.  He is currently the Physical Preparation Coach for the Chinese Athletics Association's jump & sprints section; where he handles the rehabilitation and strength & power training for China’s best track & field athletes.  Previously, he was the Performance Manager at the Chinese Olympic Committee’s National Sports Training Centre in Beijing in the lead up to the Rio Olympics.  Athletes supported by this program won 34 medals (including 19 gold medals) at the 2016 Olympics.  As a speaker, Joseph has lectured at a number of international conferences including in China, United Kingdom, United States, Australia and New Zealand.

In this lesson, lesson 97, we'll hear a brief discussion about the Olympics in Beijing. Let's get started with a role-play between Yves and Olive. We'll talk about the pride of the Chinese Olympic Committee, the views of certain sports delegations and an action taken by one American actor.
