Implores the criticism of the referee and calls for a tribute to the champions.

Yasuhiro Sato, coach of Su Yiming, the silver medalist in the men's slope steeplechase at the Beijing Winter Olympics, gave a textbook demonstration to the public in the form of an open letter on how to deal with the penalty controversy.

"It is really gratifying that Su Yiming's level has been seen by the world." It is important that we go all out and show our best selves. We were satisfied. Yasuhiro Sato's detached attitude towards the game is indeed very impactful for us who have always valued winning and losing.

The referee scoring problem does exist. But Yasuhiro Sato believes that this is also part of the game, "scoring this job is sometimes really difficult." Over the phone, Coach Sato asked the chief referee? All referees expressed their gratitude and respected the results of their decisions. It is worth noting that Su Yiming also "directly expressed the same meaning." ”

Refereeing has always been the focus of competitive sports. The phenomenon of refusing to accept a penalty and blaming the referee because of the disadvantage of the party has occurred from time to time in some sports fields. The reason is that there are no rules, selfish desires, and disrespect for others. Of course, such behavior will eventually be punished by the rules.

The Olympic Games always build bridges of communication, never walls. Yasuhiro Sato's open letter is full of reason and warmth, straight to the heart. "The culture of skiing is created by everyone together", which simply and bluntly explains the Olympic concept of "faster, higher, stronger and more united".

At the Beijing Winter Olympics, the public remembers not only Su Yiming's regretful loss of the gold medal, but also Yasuhiro Sato's "true confession".
