In the short track speed skating competition of the Beijing Winter Olympics, South Korea's Huang Daxian won the men's 1500 meters championship, which was the first gold medal won by South Korea in the short track speed skating event and the first gold won by the South Korean delegation at the Winter Olympics. In an interview after the game, Huang Daxian said that there was nothing wrong with the previous penalty, that he had not slipped sharp enough, and that he did not think that the referee had any impact on the results between China and South Korea.
Short track speed skating has historically been fiercely competitive, and the controversy at the PyeongChang Winter Olympics is still vivid. South Korea, as the powerhouse of the project, of course, has to go all out to attack the gold medal, China is the host, and in the past four years, it has worked hard to improve, expecting to fight back at the doorstep of the Jedi.
In the first three events, China won two gold medals, South Korea did not receive any grain, and even no South Korean athletes entered the final, which cannot be associated with the short track speed skating power. They aimed the finger in two directions: the quality of the ice and the referee's decision to award controversy.
To say that the quality of the ice surface is not good, it is a bit of a shame, although south Korean athletes have not reached the final before, but they have broken the Olympic record. Therefore, the South Korean side focused on the judgment and punishment, and held a press conference to clearly state that it would appeal.
Many netizens believe that the high-definition playback is clearly visible, and the Korean players have indeed fouled. As for the appeal, perhaps the South Korean side has shown an attitude that protects the players in the case of poor performance, helps them share the pressure, and perhaps invisibly puts pressure on the referee.
In this context, South Korea once again hit the short track speed skating gold medal, Huang Daxian succeeded, relying on absolute strength, Huang Daxian won the men's 1500 meters gold medal, and the Chinese audience also gave him applause. As long as the athletes get the cleanest gold medal, everyone will support it, which is the charm of competitive sports.
Previously, South Korean athletes were not interviewed after the game, and after winning the championship this time, Hwang Dae-hyun took the initiative to speak out. According to the well-known reporter Zhou Chao reported on the spot, a certain American media asked him whether the foul in the previous 1000 meters had an impact on him, Huang Daxian made it clear that in the 1000 meters, I think the penalty problem is that I skated not enough, and I won in the 1500 meters, it was I skated cleanly, I don't think the referee had any impact on the results between China and South Korea.
This is an attitude to calm the situation, but many netizens said that since there is no problem, why should they appeal. In fact, Athletes such as Hwang Dae-hyun and Lee Joon-sui have not spoken out, and it is South Korean officials who are shouting appeals, or that sentence, in fact, it is to protect their athletes and show their position and attitude. However, the premise of all this is respect for facts.
Since athletes take the initiative to stay away from controversy, it is necessary to divide the winners and losers on the field. Also to discuss the quality of the ice, the South Korean women's team thrilled to enter the women's 3000m relay final, South Korean flag bearer Kim Yalang once again expressed dissatisfaction, thinking that the ice quality is not good, but Hwang Daehyun then won the championship, what else can Kim Yalang say?
The short track speed skating event will also produce several gold medals, the competition will become more and more fierce, the referee will be strict, and in the end, it will depend on the strength, which is fair competition!
