After the Chinese team won the gold and silver medals in the men's 1000 meters of short track speed skating, the South Korean team immediately filed a complaint, and they were completely destroyed in the semi-finals, and none of them entered the final. The South Korean team was dissatisfied with the referee's decision, believing that the referee favored the Chinese team. However, only about 8 hours later, the International Skating Federation gave an official response, giving a reason for the penalty, which can be said to be justified and justified, punching the South Korean team in the face. However, the South Korean team is still not spared, according to South Korean media reports, the Korean team has not given up, they are ready to file a lawsuit with CAS.
After the south Korean complaint, the International Skating Union quickly gave a response, which can be said to be justified. The INTERNATIONAL SKATING Federation said: "After the semi-finals of the 1000m, the South Korean team protested against Hwang Daehyun's penalty. And as the big screen on the scene showed, the short-track speed skater was punished for 'illegal delayed passage causing physical contact'. Officials say the rules don't allow dangers like Huang Daxian to be surpassed. Officials also responded to why Liu Shaolin was punished for "overtaking to cause contact" and "blocking with his arm at the finish line."
In addition, the ISU official also said: "According to Article 123, paragraphs 4 and 5 of the ISU Safety Regulations, the referee confirms that the other party's protest should be rejected, in fact, according to the scope of application of the rules of the game, no one can protest against the referee's decision to disqualify the referee for violating the rules, regardless of the above 'venue rules', when the referee reviews the incident with the video referee and insists on his final decision." In other words, the South Korean team does not actually have the conditions for appeal. However, even so, they want to appeal further, even to the International Court of Arbitration for Sport.
According to South Korean media reports, the South Korean team decided to file a lawsuit with the International Court of Arbitration for Sport over the penalty. The South Korean team also held a meeting, the content of which was to sue the International Court of Arbitration for Sport. After the meeting, after the legal related procedures, it is ready to file a lawsuit with CAS. The last time South Korea filed a lawsuit during the Olympics was at the 2004 Athens Olympics, when they were unhappy with the scoring of the men's gymnastics individual all-around. Later, the appeal was really successful, although it did not win the gold medal, but the referee and the technical referee were punished.
Now they want to appeal again, and this time they even want to change the sentence. However, this time it is difficult for them to appeal successfully, because the International Skating Federation has issued an official statement, these rules can be said to be justified, and the South Korean team has indeed committed a foul. Even if an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport is not necessarily a good outcome. The South Korean team is not spared, but it is better to seriously prepare for the next game.
This time the Winter Olympics will be held in Beijing, no longer Pyeongchang. At the time of the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, the host Korean team had a lot of black box operations, not only fouls, but also nothing. After the PyeongChang Winter Olympics, the International Skating Federation formulated more complete rules and regulations. This time, the South Korean team was out, which was a violation of the Islamic Skating Federation Safety Regulations. The International Skating Federation gave specific regulations to punch the South Korean team in the face. Judging by the circumstances of the game, they did violate these regulations. It can be said that the South Korean team was repulsed by the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, and it is precisely because of their past black history that there are so complete regulations.
