On February 7, in the winter Olympics short track speed skating men's 1000 meters final, Chinese short track speed skater Ren Ziwei won the gold medal, and Li Wenlong won the silver medal. However, due to the Fact that the South Korean player and the Hungarian player were convicted of fouls in the semi-finals and the final respectively, it caused an uproar after the match...
On the same day, South Korea's Huang Daxian was sentenced to foul in the semi-final Group 1 competition, while Hungary's Liu Shaolin was also cancelled for fouling in the final. After the game, the South Korean team and the Korean media reacted strongly, some players even threatened to "withdraw from the game", and the Korean media even contributed to the so-called "shady scene" in the major media. At the same time, the delegations of South Korea and Hungary appealed to the International Skating Federation after the game.
On February 8, the International Skating Federation issued an official statement rejecting the complaints of the South Korean team and the Hungarian team, believing that there was no problem in sentencing the penalty. In response to the complaints of the South Korean and Hungarian teams, the Islamic Skating Federation made a change in the statement, saying that regardless of the above "rules of the game", the referee and the video referee reviewed the incident again and supported his final decision. The statement also stated that, in accordance with Article 123, paragraphs 4 and 5, of the General Provisions of the International Skating Union, the referee confirmed that the above complaint was rejected. The statement also stated that, in fact, according to the principles of application on the field, it is not permissible to appeal the decision of the (referee) officer to disqualify or not to disqualify an athlete for violating any of the rules of the competition.
The International Skating Federation rejected the appeals of the South Korean and Hungarian teams, and finally brought the "refereeing" storm that was making a lot of noise to an end.
