In the men's 500m final of speed skating at the Beijing Winter Olympics, Chinese youngster Gao Tingyu broke the Olympic record with a time of 34.32 seconds to win the championship, South Korea's Che Minkui fell behind 0.07 seconds and won the silver medal, and Japan's Mori Shigehang won the bronze medal. This was the fourth gold medal won by the Chinese team, but at the award ceremony, there was an unexpected situation.
Runner-up Car Min Kui made a wipe of the podium with his hand before reaching the podium, and then boarded the podium with a stinky face. On the other hand, the Chinese player Gao Tingyu jumped up very happily, and the Japanese player who won the third place was also very happy, not knowing what Che Minkui was angry about.
Interestingly, this action is not his original, but it is very related to his country. At the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics that year, there were many controversial penalties, and not only the Chinese team, but also the Canadian team suffered. So after they won the bronze medal in the short track speed skating men's 5,000-meter relay, the four runners collectively swept the podium with their hands before they reached the podium to protest.
And the South Korean athletes are now making this move, that is, changing directions and acknowledging that the Olympic Games were indeed shady?
The rules of this sport are different from short track speed skating and are a completely untouched event. It is generally to divide the athletes into several groups, each group of two athletes, one in the inner lane and one in the outer lane, each skating, and finally discharging the results according to the speed.
Therefore, Che Minkui got the silver medal, that is, his skills were inferior to those of others, and he simply did not slide over Gao Tingyu. The two people are also old acquaintances, in the last Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, Che Minkui won the silver medal with a difference of 0.01 seconds, while Gao Tingyu was the third place. Fast forward four years, Gao Tingyu broke the Olympic record and reached the highest podium in one fell swoop, and the champion came with dignity.
Therefore, Wang Meng, who saw this scene, also complained. She was asked in the live broadcast what she thought of Che Minkui's actions, and Wang Meng's spit can be said to be hilarious (please make up your own voice here):
Wang Meng: Why is he the second? Because my sister slipped over the second person?
Xu Hongzhi: My sister slid over people's homes
Wang Meng: Then what are you pulling, what are you rubbing, you haven't slid over you, you really are, you can slide through ah, not in a place at all
Xu Hongzhi: You may think it is curling, and it will be fast to wipe.
The whole hilarious big scene, Che Minkui's action is really funny, the skills are not as good as people, just be honest.
