In the blink of an eye, the beijing Winter Olympics snowboarding men's slope obstacle race has ended for 4 days, but the scoring controversy caused by the referee missing the championship catcher is still continuing. On February 11, Beijing time, the project bronze medalist Mark McMaris, in an interview with the Chinese media, also supported Su Yiming, believing that China's new star should be the champion.
Although the winner was a fellow Canadian, McMorris said bluntly: "Su Yiming's performance this time is quite amazing, to be honest I think the two of us should be in the top two, and the whole snowboard industry thinks so." ”
As for the Canadian referee's suspected behavior of lowering Su Yiming's score, McMorris also helplessly said: "You know that it is difficult to score snowboard matches, sometimes based on personal preferences, which is why you never want to be bothered by the ranking on the podium, you want to be excited about your performance and completion skills." ”
Previously, Su Yiming said in an interview that McMorris is his idol and is very satisfied to stand on the podium with his idol. In response, McMorris also responded happily: "I am proud to be his idol and his hero. I believe that Su Yiming's career path is still very long, and I am super proud of him! ”
In the men's slope steeplechase final at the Winter Olympics four days ago, Canada's Parrote won the championship with a slight advantage of 2.2 points ahead of Su Yiming. Unfortunately, the referees did not see a misstep in the gold medalist's game. And when they recognize the error, the score has been submitted and cannot be modified. Su Yiming and the Chinese delegation also missed a valuable gold medal.
But as McMorris said, Su Yiming's career is still very long, and in the next Winter Olympics 4 years later, we believe that he will have a more mature performance to make up for the regret of being wrongly judged and missing the gold medal at the Winter Olympics.
