The Winter Olympics are in full swing, and in the men's slope steeplechase final that ended earlier, Chinese athlete Su Yiming jumped 1800 moves in the last jump, but only scored 88.7 points, lower than Parot's 90.96 points, and finally regrettably won the silver medal.
After that game, many people were discussing the referee's decision, after all, Su Yiming had a great chance to win the gold medal! The referee of that match, Izzak Shumatic, was also discussed by many people, and in a recent interview with White Lines, he talked about the penalty, saying that the referee did not see the championship's mistake, but when he saw the mistake, the score had been played. And he also said that from the perspective of the replay given by the referee, the score is no problem!
Then, when asked what reaction he had when he saw Parot's mistake in grabbing the board, he said that when he saw this angle, the score had already been played, and everyone was saying "damn this is the angle we didn't see", but the score was real-time, and there was no way to modify the score! If you see this mistake, it should be a different score, but there are many influencing factors, and he still contributed a great round of performance!
Although it seems that what he said makes sense, when was Maradona's Hand of God, what level of video replay was at that time, and what level of technology is the current level, there is really no way to compare! So this penalty is largely a referee's mistake, and there is no other reason to find it.
If the referee can be cautious and score from more angles, Maybe Su Yiming may get better results, knowing that in the Olympic Games, the gap between gold and silver medals is very large. I really hope to reduce such regrets in the Olympic Games, after all, many athletes may really only have this one chance in their careers, and if they miss it, they really don't have it!
