It is not uncommon for us to know that an American athlete wins another world or Olympic title in a race. Lastly, was the news from the Helsinki World Championships, where Americans were clearly more prominent than others in each sprint category. They have won more titles than any other nation taken together. Of course, that is not always the case, but the benefits for American athletes because of their superiority are obvious. Although foreign athletes come to the sport elite and travel, the American people remain indoors. Moreover, it is impossible to imagine an elite sprint without Americans. They have run the short distance races now. They have been dominating the history of modern athletics since the first Olympic Games in Athens in 1896. To prove this point of view, I offer what is called the average of all the international Olympic athletes who have ever taken the price right now. Olympic Games. The nation gets 3 points for every gold medal, 2 silver points and one bronze point. For example, at the 2004 Olympics, the Americans won all the medals in the men's 200 m relay. In the women's 200 m relay, the Jamaican runner won gold, the American runner-up in silver and the Bahamian runner-in bronze. So the Americans got 8 points, the Jamaicans - 2 points, the Bahamas - 1 point. To summarize the points for each year we get the following figures: 100 meters: USA - 120 Germany - 22 Great Britain - 20 Canada - 14 Australia - 13 Other countries - 69 200 meters: USA - 117 Germany - 18 Jamaica - 16 Australia - 14 Great Britain - 12 Other countries - 63 400 meters: USA - 97 Germany - 22 Great Britain 20 Jamaica - 13 Australia - 12 Other countries - 52 In all cases the American people are more advanced than others. However, even if we consider such a huge advantage, it would be a mistake to conclude that foreign athletes are highly trained. During the twentieth century there were stars among athletes from Britain, Canada, the Caribbean and other athletes whose success was part of the history of the sport. Many of them are Olympic and world champions. There are also world record holders among them. Now we talk about Asama Powell, Veronica Campbell and Monique Williams-Darling. We also remember Lin ford Christie, Donovan Bailey, Marita Koch and the old Marie-Jose Perec. The point, however, is that they are the only representatives of their tribes. They get into sports, show good performance and then go on to be followed by our people who match their level. But only USA athletes who always show high performance. It is very difficult to find reasons why the level of training is so high in so many other countries. In fact, it is not the training process itself that differs from the States in other countries. Rather, it is a sports organization that selects, promotes and motivates athletes. Widespread athletic approach There are two types of athletic organization in the world. The first is a multidisciplinary government funding program. The National Sports Department directs Sports Associations to provide athletes with the best possible training conditions, medical care, fitness opportunities and more. The State cares for athletes from the start of their games, and they feel comfortable in such situations. Many of them go into athletics and train as a hobby, in view of the running concept: “I have the opportunity to train. First I will train for fun and I will see if I am good at running. If I am good, I will pay more attention to training. If I don't, I will just enjoy the level that has been achieved. My country will take care of me and give me the opportunity to receive such “fun” training. ” For some of them, running is a hobby. Some of them, get good results at local level during a performance of 10.4-10.2 seconds on a 100-meter dash, and they think it is good enough. Those who are most motivated move forward and sometimes take prizes at the international level. But most such athletes do not even reach the 10-second limit, let alone the 9.8-9.7 second required for major competitions. There is therefore no good selection process and no high level of competition in such a system. National Collegiate Athletic Association, Another model where business interferes with sports and the government does not participate in the program by providing athletes with conditions. Such a model was developed in the USA. In addition to professional sports, there is a separate university sports federation program that spawns a host of world-renowned athletics stars. The games of the National Collegiate Athletic Association are incredibly popular and widely covered on television and in newspapers. Even world-renowned bookmakers offer betting lines in NCAA leagues. No country in the world can boast of such a state. College teams earn a lot of money from their team sponsors and are keen to achieve high results that attract well-trained athletes. It means that talented athletes receive scholarships that cover the cost of studying and living. For many of them, such an approach is the only way to enter university. So athletes competing with the university team are highly motivated to achieve good results. Not only do they train, they protect the stability of their lives. Usually at NCAA competitions, college athletes get higher results than professional athletes from other countries. There is another good feature of the USA model. Many sports events are very popular in the United States. These are football, basketball, baseball, hockey, track and field and more. Almost all universities have their own teams participating in these games. If an athlete first chooses a particular event, and after a while it turns out that it is better for another event, he or she can simply switch the event within the same university. There are many such examples among Olympic champions of Sp,
