Just yesterday, in the men's 500 meters of speed skating at the Beijing Winter Olympics, China's Gao Tingyu won the fourth gold medal of the Chinese team, which is of great significance and creates the history of Chinese men's speed skating. However, there was still a discordant scene in the awards ceremony, and the silver medal-winning South Korean player Che Minkui made a very controversial "sweeping the podium" action, suspected of being dissatisfied with the outcome of the game. In this regard, some netizens said that Che Minkui's medal should be cancelled because he violated the regulations of the International Olympic Committee.
In the award ceremony, south Korean player Che Minkui made the action of "sweeping the podium" at first, many netizens did not understand what it meant, but people who often pay attention to the Winter Olympic Games can see this familiar action at a glance. At the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics four years ago, at the award ceremony of the men's short track speed skating 5000m relay, the bronze medal-winning Canadian team made a "clean podium" action to express its dissatisfaction with the host South Korea team. As we all know, the South Korean team's fouls in this event are the most famous in the world, but at that Winter Olympics, Canada and China were both judged to be fouled nine times, and the host Korean team was only awarded 3 fouls, many of which were controversial. This time Che Minkui used the actions of others insulting them 4 years ago to protest, leaving aside the violations and being too uncreative, it was sure that there was nothing they could not copy.
Of course, in addition to plagiarism, the biggest problem with this action is that there is a violation, but the Canadian team did not have a violation when it made this move at the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics. This matter also starts from Sun Yang, on the first competition day of the 2019 Gwangju Swimming World Championships, Sun Yang achieved his four consecutive championships, but in the award process, Australian Horton protested by refusing to take a photo with Sun Yang, which also attracted the attention of the International Olympic Committee, and the International Olympic Committee revised the rules for this purpose and clearly issued new regulations: athletes are prohibited from protesting at the award ceremony.
The question now is whether Che Minkui's behavior is a protest act, of course, from the understanding of this action, this is a protest act, but the parties can have many interpretations and cleverly evade punishment. In this regard, many Chinese netizens directly went to the official Microblog of the Olympic Committee to blame this behavior, and some netizens expressed: "This is a project that does not interfere with each other, I don't know what the reason for Che Minkui's action is, but it is obviously disrespectful to the champion." Another netizen said bluntly: "Strongly calling for the cancellation of Che Minkui's medal is not only a violation, but also an act without sportsmanship, which is simply impossible to lose."
