On February 12, Beijing time, Gao Tingyu won the gold medal in the men's 500 meters of speed skating at the Winter Olympics, creating the history of the Chinese men's speed skating team. South Korea's Che Minkui won the silver medal, 0.07 seconds behind Gao Tingyu. However, at the award ceremony after the race, Che Minkui made an incredible move! He swept the podium with his hand before going to the podium before standing up, as if to imply that the ice was not clean. Chinese netizens angrily rebuked: Dong Shi Xiaoyi
Che Minkui was the silver medalist in the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, and this time in Beijing, Che Minkui once again finished second, and it was a difference of 0.07 seconds. It can be imagined that Che Minkui was a little unwilling in his heart at this time. But what he did not expect was that Che Minkui made such a sweeping action in front of the podium, as if to accuse Beijing of unclean ice.
This action is no stranger to spectators who care about the Winter Olympics. In the short track speed skating event at the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, South Korea fought at home, and as a result, it had the advantage in penalties, which caused public anger. After Canada won the bronze medal in the relay team, the award ceremony made a collective sweeping action, suggesting that Pyeongchang's ice surface was not clean.
But at the time, this situation was in short track speed skating. As we all know, there are many collisions in short track speed skating, and the referee's decision is likely to affect the outcome of the game. At the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, South Korea profited the most. Speed skating, on the other hand, does not have any collisions, purely competing for speed, and the referee's presence is almost zero. Under such circumstances, Che Minkui's action was really speechless and incomprehensible.
In fact, since the start of this Winter Olympics, the South Korean delegation has had the most "drama". From abandoning the diet of the Olympic Village, to disobeying the referee's ruling in the short track speed skating event, to complaining about the referee in the speed skating arena today, South Koreans really can't afford to lose. And Che Minkui is also likely to be pulled into the blacklist by Chinese audiences because of this action.
