After a day of fermentation, Su Yiming coach Yasuhiro Sato posted an open letter on social media, saying that he had communicated with the chief referee with Su Yiming after the game. Although I regret the result, it is also part of the game, respecting and understanding the judgment of the referee team.

On the day of the match on the 7th, Yasuhiro Sato found that there may be a problem with the score of the champion winner, and Su Yiming may miss the gold medal due to the referee's misjudgment. "But I immediately felt that this was one of the rules of the competition and we respected the judges' evaluations. And I think the silver medal is the motivation for Su Yiming to train harder in the future. Su Yiming's goal in participating in the Winter Olympics is also to show the best performance to everyone, and we have done it. ”

After the award ceremony that night, Yasuhiro Sato returned to the hotel to find that many European and American professionals also thought that there was a problem with the penalty. He immediately contacted the referee chief Yiztok Shumatić with Su Yiming, and said to the referee, "Although we saw some heated discussion on social media, we didn't care about it at all, and the work of scoring is sometimes really difficult, thank you very much to the referee team." Mr. Schumatić is also very grateful to us. ”

At the end of the open letter, Yasuhiro Sato called on everyone to stop blaming the referee team. And I hope that everyone can praise and congratulate the gold medalist Max Parrott.

In the Xinhua report, it is particularly explained why the referee team did not see the picture comprehensively. Judging from the footage based on the referee during the match, Parot did not make a mistake in making the action, that is, the referee did not tend to re-examine the action at that time. Even if the angle of the picture that the referee uses to score is indeed 'limited', they will still use this angle to ensure that each player is scored fairly. ”
