Recently, the South Korean sports delegation and some media questioned the existence of "unfair penalties" in the short track speed skating competition at the Beijing Winter Olympics. The spokesperson of the Chinese Embassy in South Korea stated its position on the 9th that the South Korean side questioned the short track speed skating referee of the Beijing Winter Olympics, saying that the Winter Olympics are competitive competitions, highly professional and technical, and each project has clear rules, standards and regulations. Short track speed skating is a highly dangerous and controversial event, in order to maximize the safety of participating athletes and improve the fairness and impartiality of the competition, the International Skating Federation continues to revise, improve and refine the rules of the competition. The short track speed skating event of the Beijing Winter Olympics is carried out in accordance with the latest revised rules of the International Skating Federation. Mr. Peter Voss, the British chief referee of this short track speed skating event, has served as the referee of three winter Olympics short track events, including the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, which is authoritative. In response to the South Korean side's relevant doubts, the International Skating Federation has issued an official statement a few days ago, detailing the details of the judging rules and the factual basis.
The International Skating Federation issued a statement on the 7th Swiss time, saying that it had received complaints from the South Korean team and the Hungarian team about the short track speed skating men's 1000 meters competition at the Beijing Winter Olympics, but the referee and the video referee upheld the original judgment after repeated verification. The chairman of the International Skating Union (ISU), Yan Dikma, said in a video interview with the South Korean delegation on the 9th that he insisted on not accepting the existing position of the South Korean side's appeal and upheld the original judgment.
It is worth mentioning that Huang Daxian himself also admitted that in the 1000 meters, there were "places that were not neat". After winning the gold medal in the men's 1500m in short track speed skating, Hwang Daehyun said that a cleaner winning strategy was prepared that day, that is, to choose the cleanest strategy in a clean race, according to Yonhap News Agency. He also said that how to judge is a matter for referees. "Even though I thought I was skating impeccably (in the 1000m race), there must have been something I didn't do well before I was punished."
