The gold medal that Su Yiming should have gotten in his hand was actually lost by the referee! On February 10, Beijing time, the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics sent a message that made the Chinese people extremely angry, that is, in the previously concluded men's slope steeplechase final, China's 17-year-old young player Su Yiming did suffer unfair treatment.
Su Yiming, who played an active and outstanding role in the men's slope steeplechase final on snowboarding, only won a silver medal in the end. After the game, the scoring scale of the referee was a huge controversy. Many media and netizens are even more blunt, if there are no two Canadian referees, in the final so "blatantly" biased in favor of their own players, Su Yiming is a well-deserved champion. And today, the referee of that final, in an interview with Whitelines, publicly admitted that he did give Marcos, the canadian champion, a score high. He said that in the referees' replay angle, he did not see the Canadian players grab the board mistake, and when they realized the error, the score had been submitted and could not be changed. And according to the rules, Marco should be deducted 3 points. After deducting these 3 points, Su Yiming's performance will rise to the first place and will be the champion of that game.
As the first runner in the qualifying round, 17-year-old Su Yiming is a strong advance to the men's slope obstacle course final of snowboarding. In the final, Su Yiming was the finale. Although in the final, Su Yiming played average in the first round, only scoring 78.83 points. However, in the second round of competition, Su Yiming challenged the ultra-difficult action of 1800 points, which can be said to be a perfect performance. When he successfully finished jumping, Su Yiming had already covered his face and began to celebrate in advance. But the referee ended up giving only 88.70 points. Su Yiming still trailed Canada's Marcos by 90.96 points, ranking second.
In the last round, Su Yiming continued to play well, challenging the 1800-degree action again, but still could not impress the referee, his performance still could not surpass Canada's Marcos, and finally could only regret to be the runner-up.
And now, with the referee of that game personally admitting his mistake, the truth has finally come out. In that final, Su Yiming did not lose to his opponent because of his strength, but was deprived of the gold medal by the referee's misjudgment, such an incident was indeed very speechless.
I hope that Su Yiming will not be disturbed by such news, and in the next big jumping game, use his strength to punch these judges with bad eyesight!
