The Beijing Winter Olympics, the excitement is continuing. Gu Ailing jumped to the sky and drew a beautiful curve, allowing people to realize that the sky of competition has never limits. Su Yiming,a teenager dressed in white, crossed the snowfield of LinHai, "sliding" from the movie screen to the Winter Olympics, transforming the track of life and letting us experience that a person can have a more colorful life.
But at the same time, there were some discordant voices outside the arena about some athletes' mistakes and failures in the game – some people began to blame those athletes who failed to play by mistake. These misunderstandings and accusations have caused a certain negative impact.
A closer look will find that this is related to a bad tendency in the current public opinion field: athletes who successfully win gold and silver are touted to the sky, and if there is a game mistake and failure, they will be pointed out by thousands of people, and even network violence. This trend of public opinion deserves vigilance.
It should be noted that daily life is different from competitive sports, or it is not alarming, or it is inertial gliding. But competitive sports are different, and their process is full of peaks and valleys, success or failure, and win-lose. Therefore, while we look up and follow the athletes to make difficult moves, we may as well have understanding and tolerance for the mistakes and failures of the athletes.

You know, in a tense competition atmosphere, it is most normal for athletes to make mistakes and lose. Everyone has a state of mind, a state of mind ups and downs, and will also face a variety of unexpected situations at any time. In this regard, only by holding a rational and inclusive attitude can the public truly understand what sportsmanship and Olympic spirit are.
From the perspective of simple emotions, people will indeed be entangled in the success or failure of a certain person, but the Winter Olympics is a "theatrical period" outside of ordinary life, always full of twists and turns and accidents. Even if you have been sharpening your sword for ten years and "rehearsing" thousands of times, you may lose your medal on the competitive stage.
This is the cruelty of competitive sports, but it is also the reason for its charm, each track will ultimately choose the winner, this or the other.
As viewers, we experience different situations with each other, between different outcomes. We appreciate success, but we also need to be more open-minded and learn to accept mistakes.
As Yang Yang, a former short-track speed skating champion, said, "Athletes have failures and losses, all of which are part of growth." At this time, we should be like parents, seeing that the child has failed, we should give him more encouragement, rather than to hit him. ”
Gu Ailing also expressed a similar meaning after winning the winter Olympic gold medal, she said, "I participated in the Winter Olympics, never to beat other athletes, but to break the boundaries and slide to my best." I hope that this sportsmanship can be shown to the world and inspire more people. ”
Yang Yang and Gu Ailing's words were very plain and powerful. Standing in the perspective of an ordinary person, to experience the mental journey of an athlete, this approach is very warm. Moreover, in the field of public opinion, we should not uphold the old concept of "only success and no mistakes".
The Winter Olympics is a wonderful reality show, we enjoy this reality show, the mood rises and falls with the athletes on the ice and snow, feel their joy, but also feel their loss. However, no matter what their final result in the competition, as ordinary spectators, we may as well have a tolerant heart and embrace every athlete who has fought the sports field with kindness. This is especially precious.
It is worth noting that at present, on social platforms such as Weibo, the phenomenon of accusations against individual athletes who have previously played a wrong role is still common, which requires relevant platforms to implement the main responsibility in a timely and active manner, and not to indulge or even promote the irrational behavior of some netizens.
Ice and snow sports are extremely ornamental, always exciting, this touch is the charm of ice and snow sports. In the same way, we can think like athletes, have reason and kindness to each partner, and look at the athlete's defeat like facing the ups and downs of friends. If this is the case, there will be mutual understanding between people.
