In the final of the slope obstacle course at the Beijing Winter Olympics, which ended this morning, China's Su Yiming finished second. Su Yiming won the silver medal, becoming the first Asian athlete to win a medal in the Winter Olympics project, breaking the monopoly of European and American athletes in the men's slope obstacle course, of course, this is also the first time that Su Yiming has won a medal in this project in her career.
But after the game, there was a controversy on social media about the referee's score for the match.
The score of the slope obstacle course is composed of a segment score (60%) + an overall score (40%), with a total of 6 segments, with 9 judges participating in the scoring. Six of the judges scored in segments, and they were divided into three groups, and each group of referees judged 2 segments. The other 3 referees are responsible for scoring the overall score.
According to the official report card, Su Yiming lagged behind Canada's Max Parot in the 1st-4th stage, and the score of the last 2 jumps was higher than that of Canada' player, and the overall score was also higher than that of his opponent.
At present, the controversial Canadian referee on the Internet is responsible for scoring the 3rd and 4th segments, in which Su Yiming is 2.25 points less than her opponents.
Su Yiming played well in the second round of the final, and in the final jump of the second round of the competition, he jumped out of the second quad cork 1800 action in the history of the obstacle course, which is what we usually call the peripheral deflection body. Now almost everyone on the whole network is wondering, why did Su Yiming jump out of 1800, but finally only took a silver medal, is there a black screen?
First of all, let's first look at Su Yiming's referee score in this game, there are three props and three jumping platforms in the slope barrier game. The organizing committee will arrange a fixed scoring referee for each prop area and the jumping area, and each referee will score the prop area or jumping area for which he is responsible. We can see that Su Yiming scored in all three rounds of referees, the score of the platform area is super high, and the 1800 referees in the second round also gave a full score of 10 points, and the jumping area score is completely no problem.
The problem lies in the difficulty of Su Yiming's prop area. Su Yiming's three prop areas are very stylish and creative, the first prop area is actually 270 degrees above 270 degrees, the second is the snow after the roof, and finally a front flip, and the third is a Miller flip of the handplant made in the cannon barrel. These three prop areas are ever-changing, very recognizable, and the referee who scores the overall score will play a particularly high, but back to the fixed referee of each prop area, Su Yiming's prop area is obviously a little insufficient. If you watch the live broadcast, you will definitely hear the narrator say that the mobilizer has made a 360-degree or even 810-degree turn in this prop area, while these actions in Su Yiming's prop area are basically only 360 degrees or 540 degrees, although there is still style, but the difficulty is still slightly worse.
Finally, let's talk about whether the final champion, Canadian jump king Max Parrot, deserves this title. In the props area, he is not as stylish and highly recognizable as Su Yiming, all of which are all turning up and down the railing, but he is indeed higher than Su Yiming in the number of rotation cycles and difficulties in the railing area. Then in the final jumping area, he has a nickname, called the deflection rotation textbook, and his deflection rotation is the most standard in the world. In this game, he completed three consecutive three-week deflection moves in the second round, including two 1620s. Although the overall number of rotation weeks is not as much as Su Yiming, the three three-week deflection body total score referee will also play a huge high, the total ratio will not be much lower than Su Yiming, plus the difficulty of the prop area is slightly more difficult than Su Yiming, so he wins in a reasonable way.
But there are two Canadian referees in a game to score, we can still get out of this arrangement, skiing, the right to speak is still in the hands of Europeans and Americans.
