South Korean runner-up Che Minkui's behavior of wiping the podium caused heated discussion, the latest news on the 13th, South Korean media interviewed Che Minkui clarified, bluntly saying that this is a kind of respect. However, the Explanation of the South Korean media and Che Minkui has not been recognized, and there are more details that can be seen that Che Minkui's behavior is not appropriate.
In the speed skating competition, Che Minkui got the runner-up, which was the runner-up in his two consecutive Winter Olympics, and he also lost the last time, but lost 0.01 seconds, this time he actually improved, only lost 0.07 seconds. But no matter how much the gap, losing is losing. In fact, when the golden pier was awarded after the game, he was quite normal, but when the medal was awarded, he made the action of wiping the podium.
This action is not unfamiliar to everyone, the last Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, the Canadian short track speed skating team used this way to protest the short track speed skating competition of the PyeongChang Winter Olympics. However, this time Che Minkui's action is infuriating, because in the speed skating competition, there is no penalty, there is no controversy, and losing is losing. Today, the Explanation from Koreans is: "The podium is a precious and precious place for me, so I want to go up with a more respectful attitude." ”
Such an explanation can be said to be a bit pale, for whatever reason, the awards ceremony should not be added to the drama. It should also be pointed out that the athletes who won the medals in the Winter Olympics will receive the golden pier, and at the press conference, the players will generally put the gold pier in front of themselves. However, at the speed skating competition conference, only Che Minkui did not put on the golden pier, and this move was also dug out by netizens.
The official of the International Skating Federation also has its own attitude, that is, when releasing the results of the race, it can be seen that Gao Tingyu and japanese players have labels, but there is no Che Minkui, not that Che Minkui does not have a corresponding social account, perhaps, the International Skating Federation is also through this way, to express dissatisfaction with the Koreans. Of course, the matter is over, we are the champions, Gao Tingyu is the defeat of the Koreans, this is the truth.
