The 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics schedule has passed the halfway mark, the German delegation temporarily led the medal table with 8 gold, 5 silver and 1 bronze, followed by the Norwegian delegation with 8 gold, 3 silver and 6 bronze results, 3-6 respectively, the United States delegation, the Netherlands delegation, the Swedish delegation, the Austrian delegation, and the Chinese delegation ranked seventh in the medal table with 4 gold, 3 silver and 1 bronze. In fact, it is not difficult to find that with the deepening of the schedule, the advantages of the European and American delegations in the ice and snow events have become more and more obvious, especially the Winter Olympic power Norway, according to the current trend of development, the Norwegian delegation is very likely to win the first place in the medal table again.
As the host of this Winter Olympics, in addition to striving to achieve a breakthrough in the medal table, the Chinese delegation hopes to lead by example and implement the four concepts of this Winter Olympics (green, development, sharing, and integrity) to the end, but there is a delegation that always seems to want to engage in some special, from complaining about the Winter Olympic diet to deliberately wiping the podium, netizens: Please Korean players stop adding drama to themselves!
Sources from the Seoul News, AERA and other foreign media, some South Korean athletes believe that the food provided by the Beijing Winter Olympic Village is not delicious, the taste is too greasy, is not conducive to the health of athletes, and indirectly affects their competitive status on the field. In response to this view, the participants from many national delegations did not agree, they like to eat the food in the winter Olympic village canteen, and our traditional Chinese food dumplings are particularly popular.
It is worth mentioning that many Winter Olympic reporters were very surprised after hearing the complaints of Korean athletes, because the actual situation they saw in their eyes was that the Winter Olympic Village Canteen was always overcrowded, and according to the past practice, the staff of the Winter Olympic Village Canteen would produce food that was in line with the participants according to the food culture of various countries.
Instead of complaining about the food in the Winter Olympic Village, the South Korean athletes also made a controversial act, and in the award ceremony of the already concluded speed skating men's 500m final, the silver medal-winning Korean player Che Minkui bent down to wipe the table in front of his body before taking the podium, and then he was willing to take the stage to wave his thanks to the side of the field. The gold medal-winning Chinese player Gao Tingyu was not affected by this "small program", and then jumped high and stood on the highest podium.
It is understood that a similar scene occurred at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, when four Canadian athletes collectively wiped the table in front of them with their hands at the men's short track speed skating 5,000-meter relay award ceremony, as discussed in advance. According to follow-up reports, the four Canadian players did this mainly to express their dissatisfaction, because in that short track speed skating event, the referee on duty turned a blind eye to the fouls of Korean players, resulting in a lack of fairness in the game.
Today, seeing Che Minkui's move, the outside world involuntarily linked the two things, some netizens suspected that "Che Minkui is trying to give Huang Daxian a blow, the latter was judged to be fouled in the short track speed skating 1000 meters of the Beijing Winter Olympics and did not qualify for the final", and some netizens shouted to the South Korean players "Don't add drama to yourself, please put more energy on the field, speak with a clean game, rather than trying to highlight yourself all day, and don't want to see the protagonist in the news outside the Winter Olympic venue is a Korean player."
