布达佩斯将成为体育之都,采访桑多尔·巴洛

GLOBS 杂志 发表了对财务总监桑多尔·巴洛的采访 国际泳联水上锦标赛 以及非洲-匈牙利联盟主席,您也可以在匈牙利每日新闻上阅读: 

现水上世锦赛筹备工作已到达终点,很多人可能已经忘记了,原本匈牙利应该只在4年后,而不是在2017年组织这项赛事,你如何确保筹备工作中没有体现紧迫性?

Many may not remember, but originally Hungary was granted the right to hold the event in 2021, though when, in 2015, Mexico, for financial reasons, withdrew from organising the 2017 World Championships, Hungary stepped in. That is why we have had only two years instead of the usual six available for preparation. In order to finish everything on time, we have needed enthusiastic and devoted contributions from many people: more than 5,000 are working on the project and they are assisted by approximately 3,500 enthusiastic volunteers. The actual organising committee consists of 200 people. The main point, and also the secret of the success, is that everybody feels that they own the project and put in the best endeavours. Naturally, we also needed full commitment from the Government and Ministers Zoltán Balogh, Sándor Pintér, Miklós Seszták and Péter Szijjártó did everything they could to help us achieve our goal. Now we can say that Hungary will soon organise the greatest event in its sporting history. We usually say that these are the third largest World Championships in respect of the number of spectators and in their complexity, coming directly behind the Olympics and the Football World Championships. The events of the World Championships include swimming, water polo, synchronised swimming, diving, high diving and open water swimming. There is no doubt that the organisation of the FINA World Championships in Hungary has brought forward the launch of a number of capital investment projects that were already planned. The majority of those planned projects only needed accelerating in a concentrated manner, facilitating revival and reconstruction according to a common goal, in a co-ordinated manner. It is a long time since so many development projects were taking place at once in Budapest and that is set to continue with the implementation of the Zsigmond Kemény Programme. Budapest will become the capital of sports. Margit Island is undergoing complete reconstruction and not only the Hajós Alfréd National Sports Complex but also the Császár-Komjádi pool complex are being refurbished.

最大的项目是建设 杜纳竞技场 12,000人可容纳的综合体,夏季时竞技场为游泳跳水项目场地,锦标赛结束后延长看台将被拆除并转为普通的ever day使用,日本代表团已有一个代表团表示有兴趣在2020年锦标赛中使用看台。

其余的将保留…

that is true。其余的设施将留在这里,为热爱运动的布达佩斯居民,为那些其他人,他们也被匈牙利首都吸引,因为布达佩斯是水,水上体验和体育的城市。country1s形象的发展和旅游景点的增加是此类全球体育赛事的最大积极影响之一。我们的目标是让游客尽可能长时间地来匈牙利,无论是布达佩斯还是该国其他地方,为此,我们需要节目。这些活动将适应,并融入到城市的其他文化活动中。我们一起可以展示布达佩斯是体育,文化和美丽的首都。除了布达佩斯的国际泳联世界锦标赛之外,夏季还提供许多其他令人兴奋的节目。其中包括:一级方程式大奖赛,红牛空中竞赛,杰尔的欧洲青年奥林匹克节(EYOF),西盖特节,柔道世界锦标赛以及随后的国际泳联世界大师赛。此外,与水上世界锦标赛的场地极为接近的玛吉特岛露天剧院的表演也非常适合夏季赛事的节目。

这些活动是故意计划在标志性场所举行的,以便公众也可以更多地了解我们的历史和文化古迹。这个想法使组织复杂化了多少?

通常,水上世界锦标赛在一个场地举行,但这里的情况并非如此。鉴于我们可用的时间很短,这个想法是另一个挑战。除了布达佩斯环绕赛事场地的景点外,我还必须提及巴拉顿费雷德的另一个主场地,运动员将在开放水域游泳比赛中进行比赛。每项赛事都将在巨大的显示屏上转播,我们正在寻求向世界展示我们最好的形象,并为观众提供持久的体验,并鼓励所有游客返回匈牙利。

如何选择志愿者?

1年多的甄选过程,总的来说,我们对我们的甄选有非常好的经验,虽然也有缺点,一个人的生活一年多的时间里会发生很多事情,所以也发生了变化,但是,我们也设法从早期的组织中获益,大多数志愿者都是有专业兴趣的年轻人,他们打算获得工作经验,建立联系,也认识世界着名的运动员,他们申请了各种角色,如‘队伴’,‘奖牌猎人’或‘机场接待员’,一旦我们测试了他们的能力,我们就进行了多项情境测试,以确保他们能够在所有情况下应对,志愿者将不得不与来自207个国际泳联成员,游泳联合会和来自190多个国家的运动员和游客打交道,他们表示有意参加在匈牙利举行的锦标赛,在卡扎尼,观众总数约为600万,但我们也计划打破这一纪录。

国际代表团陆续抵达检查工作流程,您收到了哪些反馈?

大家都很期待这次活动。许多人钦佩地评论说,我们在如此短的时间内成功创造了如此多的东西。这次活动是一个很好的机会,可以证明匈牙利有能力在如此短的时间内组织如此重大的活动,并且它也可以成为其他体育赛事的目标国家。

作为非洲-匈牙利联盟(AHU)主席,您的任务和目标是什么?

Our last event was ‘Africa Day’, on 24 May, where we celebrated the liberation of Africa from its colonial past with the African Ambassadors, Honorary Consuls and other diplomats serving in the region. When it was founded, 11 years ago, the African-Hungarian Union set an objective of reintroducing Africa to Hungary. Many things have happened in Africa over the past few decades and now Africa is the continent of the future. GDP is growing spectacularly, the middle classes are expanding and higher education institutions are also emerging. With its opening to the south policy, Hungary has also recognised what the African-Hungarian Union has been emphasising for almost 10 years. Over recent years the political, economic and cultural relations between Hungary and the African countries have become more dynamic. At present, there are thousands of African students studying in Hungary. Later those students may become sort of ‘civil diplomats’, because when a person lives in a different country for a longer time, they general come to regard it as their second home and promote it as such. Sports culture is also developing in Africa and Hungary has played a great role in that. For example, Hungary supplied the equipment for the Ghanaian water polo team. Like Nelson Mandela, I also believe that sports have the power to change the world. Sports need talent and diligence and, with sports, you can reach the top of the world even if you were not born into a position to do so. That is the slogan for our work. I am very pleased to be able to tell you that, in the near future, the African-Hungarian Union is to build Hungarian schools with optional sports programmes in five countries, starting in Uganda and Botswana. Unfortunately, as much as I would love to, I cannot send everyone to Africa, though I do think that everyone should visit it at least once in their lifetime as we can learn a lot from the people living there, for example about the human relationship with nature or human relationships themselves.

下次什么时候访问非洲?

我每天都打算去!现在,水上世界锦标赛的组织需要我所有的精力和关注,但我会离开 非洲 9 月 1 日,这个巨型项目一结束。
