The Beijing Winter Olympics restaurant has become a food mecca in the eyes of athletes, and the number of national cuisines combined has exceeded 680, and it is open 24 hours a day, and different specialties are prepared according to different time periods. However, the South Korean delegation did not seem to be accustomed to the cuisine of the Beijing Winter Olympics restaurant. Not only Chinese food, but also foreign cuisine, was complained about by the members of the South Korean delegation.
According to the Korean media "Chosun Ilbo", the men's steel bobsleigh champion Yin Chengbin at the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics went so far as to complain directly that the meal prepared for the Beijing Winter Olympics tasted very bad, and it was the worst meal he had eaten in the Olympic Games he participated in. He even said he doubted Chinese would cook. Not only Yoon Sung-bin, but also another South Korean speed skater, Jeong Jae-won, also followed suit, saying that compared with the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, the food difference is a lot.
However, athletes from other countries praised the food of the Beijing Winter Olympics. For example, Dutch speed skating veteran Jutta Leerdam loves China's spicy hot to the point of being unable to extricate himself. She even said on her social platform that because it was so delicious, she could only go cycling after meals and consume the excessive calorie intake. Even foreign athletes' greatest interest every day is not just to taste the various foods in the Restaurant of the Beijing Winter Olympics, but to photograph all the delicacies one by one and post them on their social media, showing off that there are too many "delicious" here.
If so, why should the South Korean players complain about the food at the Beijing Winter Olympics? It turns out that some Korean athletes are in a bad personal state, resulting in some imbalance in their mentality. Just like Yin Chengbin, although he won the gold medal in the men's steel frame bobsleigh event four years ago. But now with some "blessings" in his body, his performance in the World Cup season of the Beijing Winter Olympics is really unsatisfactory, barely maintaining the top ten position, and it is difficult to find his professional peak.
After the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics, Yin Chengbin said in an interview with a negative mood that it would be difficult for him to win the gold medal again. He admits that his weight has an impact on the race, but also denies that he has slowed down their start-up speed because of his weight. Instead, he emphasized that the other players had started faster, and he simply didn't have the confidence to win the game, or even whether he would be in the top three.
In other words, the real reason why some South Korean players complained that the food at the Beijing Winter Olympics was not delicious had nothing to do with the taste of the food, but rather their mentality collapsed. It's like a child who hasn't grown up, and when they're in a mood, they don't see anything good. However, this complaint happens to be a manifestation of the professional player's non-professionalism.
