February 9, 2022 news, the Beijing Winter Olympics continue, in the already concluded short track speed skating men's 1500m 1/4 final, China's Ren Ziwei when he surpassed his opponents, why should he raise his hands? Details are as follows:
What happened to Ren Ziwei raising his hands?
In the men's 1500m short track speed skating competition at the Winter Olympics, the Chinese team sent a total of three players to participate, namely Ren Ziwei, Sun Long and Zhang Tianyi. Among them, Sun Long, who was in the 2nd group, ranked 4th in the group with a time of 2 minutes 19.244 seconds, regrettably missed the semi-final qualification; Zhang Tianyi, who was in the 5th group, accidentally fell off the track during the race and also missed the semi-final competition.
At this time, the Chinese team only has Ren Ziwei left with a "single seedling". Ren Ziwei, who is located in the 6th group and wears the No. 54 team uniform, just appeared on the scene, which caused a cheer from the audience. At the beginning of the game, Ren Ziwei was in the leading position, but then he was overtaken by France's Sebastian Leppup and fell to the second position.
In the 41st second of the game, in order to occupy a favorable position, Ren Ziwei suddenly exerted his strength and tried to overtake Sebastian Leppup from the inside. While successfully surpassing his opponents, Ren Ziwei raised his hands high. Subsequently, ren Ziwei, who followed the established tactics and played steadily, achieved a time of 2 minutes 15.084 seconds and advanced to the semifinals with the first place in the group.
Unfortunately, Ren Ziwei in the semifinals made a low-level mistake and was suspected of violating the rules when surpassing his opponents. The referee decided after repeatedly watching the video replay, or judged that Ren Ziwei's arm blocked the foul, and the score was invalidated!
Why did Ren Ziwei raise his hands?
From the above, it can be seen that since Ren Ziwei has completed the transcendence of the French players, why should he raise his hands? There are two main reasons: First, Ren Ziwei wants to prove his innocence. As we all know, in short track speed skating competitions, once there are violations such as collision, blocking, squeezing, etc., it is very likely that the results will be canceled. In this case, Ren Ziwei can only raise his hands to show that there is no "small movement" on his hands, similar to the behavior of defensive players in the football field to prevent handball.
Second, it reflects that Ren Ziwei's achievements are clean and clean, without any "false ingredients", and at the same time, it effectively counters the doubts of some foreign netizens. Previously, after South Korean player Huang Daxian was convicted of fouling and canceled his results, many South Korean netizens questioned that the referee's penalty was unfair. The so-called way to block the mouth of the yo-yo crowd is to speak with strength, and Ren Ziwei did it!
Finally, I would like to say that although Ren Ziwei regrets missing the final competition, the fair and just spirit of the game he has shown is an example for all athletes to learn. So, what do you think of Ren Ziwei raising his hands? Welcome to the interactive communication below!
