On February 12, Beijing time, the Beijing Winter Olympic Games continued to compete, the speed skating men's 500 meters event ended the competition, And China's famous Gao Tingyu finally won the championship with a time of 34.32 seconds, breaking the Winter Olympic record and helping the Chinese team win the fourth gold medal of this event. Winning gold in a way that broke the Olympic record is enough to reflect Gao Tingyu's strength.
But after the race, there was a surprising scene in the award process, South Korean player Che Minkui wiped the podium with his hand during the process of receiving the award, suspected of expressing dissatisfaction, and secretly satirized that Gao Tingyu's gold medal was dirty, which angered many people.
Wiping the ground with your hands on the podium to express dissatisfaction is not a "patent" of the Korean team, which was used by the Canadian team as early as the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympics.
It was a short track speed skating 5,000m relay event, and the Canadian team was shoved by The South Korean athletes during the race, and finally the Canadian team was found guilty of a foul and only won a bronze medal. To this end, all the members of the Canadian team at that time expressed their dissatisfaction by wiping the podium directly on the podium after the game.
But this time, Che Minkui's action is no reason, you know, speed skating is a road project, and short track speed skating is completely different, short track speed skating project is all athletes running together, often there is a possibility of collision, on the contrary, the speed skating of the avenue project, is a one-person track, there is no possibility of contact at all, is a pure speed competition. Under this rule, Che Minkui also made a secret irony of Gao Tingyu's action, which is incomprehensible, the pattern is too small, most domestic netizens commented that Che Minkui could not afford to lose, and lost face to the Olympic Games.
It is worth mentioning that after Che Minkui made a sweeping action, Gao Tingyu, who won the championship, jumped directly on the championship podium and responded directly on the spot, and Gao Tingyu was not polite at all.
In fact, Che Minkui won the silver medal in this competition, it is his second consecutive Winter Olympics to win the silver medal, this result, has been very outstanding, on Che Minkui's social account, many Korean netizens are praising Che Minkui, thinking that being able to win the silver medal has been outstanding, but Che Minkui feels that he should be a gold medalist, psychologically there is a gap, did not see the reality clearly, did not see himself clearly.
In addition, this Year's Beijing Winter Olympics, most of the athletes of the South Korean sports team are expressing dissatisfaction, including Japan, Europe and North America members praised the official preparation of the Beijing Winter Olympics food, but most of the South Korean team athletes said that the official food is difficult to eat, but also incited South Korean netizens to criticize. In the short track speed skating event, as long as the South Korean team players are out of the game and do not win the medal, they will accuse the members of the Chinese team of fouls and use the home field to win. When the follow-up incident developed to the most serious extent, the South Korean team also joined forces with the Hungarian team, saying that it would fully resist the "black curtain" of the Chinese team, and the South Korean team's multiple operations were incomprehensible, and it has gradually become the protagonist of the joke at the Winter Olympics.
Looking at the entire world sports world, the South Korean sports team is the team that has long been the most controversial in the field, from the distant 2002 Football World Cup to the last Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, many athletes have felt it, not just Chinese athletes, but all athletes in the whole world. Competitive sports, there will always be wins and losses, but there is also a need to talk about sportsmanship, which is far more important than the final championship.
