Su Yiming's game referee admitted that the winner had scored incorrectly

Yiztok Shumatić, the chief referee of the men's slope steeplechase final of the Beijing Winter Olympics, who presided over Su Yiming's snowboarding, said in a recent interview with a professional snowboard website that the on-site ruling was indeed flawed, but they could only judge based on the pictures seen immediately. When it was discovered that the verdict was inconsistent with the facts, it was too late.

In the final on February 7, Su Yiming won the silver medal with 88.70 points in the second skate, making a historic breakthrough in Chinese snowboarding. The gold medal was won by Canada's Max Parrote, whose highest score of 90.96 also came from the second skate. However , the judges' judgment and scoring of Parot's second-run jumping action was controversial among snowboarders.

The real-time scoring bulletin system at the scene of the competition and the data of the International Snow Federation website show that in the second coastal ride of the final, Parot made a Cab-TC-16-I (anti-foot deflection rotation body for three weeks 1620 degrees plus Indy grab) action in "segment 4", that is, the first jump on the field, and scored a super high score of 9.35 points. But after watching the slow replay footage broadcast on TELEVISION, many snowboard enthusiasts found that Parrot did not actually finish the grab, but just rested his hands on his knees, so he thought that he should not get the above high score.

After several days of controversy, the referee of the match, Schumatic, responded through a snowboard professional website: "From the perspective of the referee at the time, (we think) Parot did catch the board, and it was a well-done 1620 move." The veteran snowboard referee said: "When we saw the TV footage [that Parot didn't really catch the board), it was too late, the results had been recorded and the scoring process had been completed."

"The referee gives points based on what he sees. Based on the lens angle we get at the scene, Parot's movements are 'clean'." Schumatić also said that not only the referee, but many coaches on the scene also believed that Parot made the perfect Cab-TC-16-I move. "The important point I would say is that with the game going on, we have to make a decision [on the point] in a very short time. We're always under pressure to 'get points on time' so that the game can go smoothly." "The referee gives points based on what he sees." He stressed again.

Shumatic admits that in the history of refereeing on snowboard matches, there is no precedent for referees to ask for replays of footage and judge the movements of players: "Yes, we do have this power, this is only when we think that there may be [rating] errors." 」 Asked why he didn't ask for a replay in the day's final, Schumatić stressed for the third time: "The referee gave points based on what he saw, and we were very sure of our judgment at the time." "As the chief referee, I am not involved in specific scoring, but I supervise the entire adjudication process. The referees of this game are very experienced referees, and if they all give points that shouldn't be given at the same time, I think there must be a reason for this." However, Shumatić declined to comment on whether the camera settings for the referee's reference were wrong.
