“竞技运动”还是“精英运动”?——对我国“竞技运动”概念的质疑

Sport or Elite? Inquiry on the Concept of Sport in China

在我国体育概念体系中长期存在以"精英运动"取代"竞技运动"的概念错位。"精英运动"与"竞技运动"具有本质区别,将"精英运动"冠以"竞技运动"之名,使人们误以为竞技运动就是精英运动,从而混淆了两类不同性质的体育形态。这不仅导致对竞技运动的误解,抑制了竞技运动功能的发挥,也给精英运动的发展带来难以克服的困难。这种概念的错误对我国体育实践造成一系列不容忽视的负面影响,如使竞技运动失去进入学校教育的依据,使我国青少年体育失去固有的个性,使我国精英运动失去基础以及使我国体育组织难以整合。

Sport being defined as elite sport is a conceptual error in Chinese sport theoretical framework for a long time. This conceptual replacement not only leads to misunderstanding about sports so that sports cannot function normally but also brought various practical problems in sport development of China. It make sports have no reason to access to school education, Chinese youth lose their uniqueness of sport participation. It also undermines the foundation of elite sport in China and makes it difficulty to set up organizational interrelationships among school sport, mass sport and elite sport.
