Yesterday I wrote a text about this year's Olympics in Paris. erstwhile I had a fewer times before, I pressed something and the lyrics went to hell. I'm eating cognac and I went to sleep. Today, I thought that I had so many thoughts about this event, that something had to be written.
I effort not to worry about professional sports for a fewer reasons. I have late successfully escaped the European Football Championships. As far as I know for Polish fans this proved to be a humiliating experience. Well – “You wanted it, Grzegorz Dyndało”.
I besides tried to escape before the Olympics, but failed. It turned out to be an even more humiliating experience than a football championship. In fact, from all Polish athletes I cheered Anita Włodarczyk. The champion threw a hammer into this Olympics acted like she was not a Polish athlete. erstwhile she ran, it was apparent that she would win against any opponent. The only question was which throw would set another planet record. Self-confidence, marking the deficiency of complexes, large physical and intellectual preparation, is, in my opinion, the basis for her success. I liked watching Anita Włodarczyk due to the fact that I knew he would win. Its dominance was perfectly pleasing to my national egoism. Unfortunately, this Olympics showed that Anita Włodarczyk's time of dominance had already passed. besides bad. I was hoping that my national egoism would be satisfied with Iga Christmas, which has the possible to dominate all its opponents. Unfortunately, the Paris Olympics one more time confirmed that Miss Christmas is simply a typical Polish athlete, that is, if something should win and dominate, it would alternatively lose. I am so tired of winning Polish athletes. Unfortunately, there are besides fewer of them, and the completed Olympics showed that it is almost tragic.
I wrote above that I was discouraged from sports. The weakness of Polish athletics with a full catastrophe at the final Olympics in Paris, has a part in this, but yet it does not prejudge. In my opinion, sports successes of Polish representatives, this should be the consequence of the comprehensive improvement of the country. This should be in effect, not in place. Unfortunately, in the case of contemporary Poland, sports successes – as was the case in the Polish People's Republic – are expected to compensate for any poorness resulting from the weakness of the functioning of the state. Politicians of various options even love to show themselves in the glow of athletes' success, the more erstwhile they do not have their own. Meanwhile, the mediocre condition of the Polish sport, which is to a large degree nationalized, is the consequence of the mapping of the way the failed state operates, under the direction of failed politicians.
The completed Olympics in Paris was another event confirming that professional athletics in the planet is subject to commercial goals and politics. For many countries, it is an component of policy. In the past, alleged socialist countries treated athletics as ideological weapons to show their superiority over capitalist states. This ended with the collapse of these countries, and the symbol of this was not so much the fall of the USSR as the GDR, the planet power in the usage of doping. Let us besides remember that the first 1 to usage the Olympics politically, and already in 1936, and with large success, was Adolf Hitler.
The finished Olympics showed that the planet athletics is dominated by American-Chinese rivalry and it is an apparent extension of the political-ideological rivalry of these powers. As far as I know, there is no ministry of athletics in the United States, and there is 1 in China. As far as I know, private and state-independent sports organizations dominate American sports. Reverse in China. In this country, the full athletics is organized and financed by the state. Which model will win? I think it's American. It will be for 1 reason or another. Americans are most successful and win medal classifications, due to the fact that there are people who live by sports, not people who live by sports. This causes sports successes to go hand in hand with commercial successes, and the essence of this is, for example, the NBA basketball league. As far as I know, politicians don't mix.
After the humiliating defeat for the structures of the Polish athletics was the Paris Games, the votes of the government of various sports unions from spending public money, from which these unions maintained. I think it's a misunderstanding. In Polish athletics there must be a regulation that it is ruled by those from whom athletics lives, not those who live from sport. In order to do so, 1 of the most crucial actions must be to liquidate the Ministry of athletics along with a strategy of compulsory backing of sports unions from the state budget. We request to make area for authentic activists and sponsors. Without this, the Polish athletics will get worse and worse.
