On the evening of February 19, Chinese figure skaters Sui Wenjing and Han Cong broke through the blockade of three pairs of Russian skaters and won the Winter Olympics with a total score of 239.88 points, 0.63 points ahead of the second place. While being happy for the two players, different voices were also heard, that is, some people thought that the combination of onion barrels won the gold and was taken care of by the referee, otherwise the Russians laughed to the end.
Two-man match
The most convincing point for this argument is the details of the referee's score. Soon, some media exposed the scoring table of the referee of the double skating final, from which it can be seen that Sui Wenjing \ Han Cong won the championship completely by strength and did not receive any care from the referee. The scoring table shows that there are a total of 9 referees in the game, each referee scores technical points for the 11 actions of each pair of players participating, combined with the performance and appeal of the players, the performance points are played separately, and the sum of the two scores is the actual score of the pair's final, plus the score of the previous preliminary round, the person with the most total scores wins the championship.
Sui Wenjing and Han Cong scored
First look at Sui Wenjing\Han Cong's score. Among the 9 referees, the two scores of Teacher Wang Yumin from China were low among all the judges. This shows that the performance of the onion barrel combination has been recognized by all referees. In particular, it should be noted that Sui Wenjing made a small mistake in the fifth action of the game, and all the referees gave points deductions. The reason why Sui Wenjing and Han Cong scored 0.47 points more than the runner-up in the final was because there were two difficult extra points in the 11 moves, namely the sixth 10.42 points and the tenth action 10 points.
Russian combination scoring table
Looking at the runner-up Tarasova/Morozov score, the pair played at the highest level in recent years in the final, and the whole set of action media obvious deductions. CCTV commentator said during the live broadcast: Many of the actions that the pair of players did not complete in the past competition were completed today. Judging from the live broadcast of the scene, the Russian pair cried excitedly after the match, because the two felt that they had played at the highest level. But Tarasova/Morozov's biggest problem is that it is not difficult enough, and the highest technical score of the two is the eighth move, scoring 10.01 points, which is completely insufficient to suppress the onion barrel combination.
In the end, the onion barrel combination scored 239.88 points with 155.47 points in the final, plus 84.41 points in the preliminaries. The Russian combo final was 0.47 points less than the Onion Barrel, 0.16 points less in the preliminaries, and the final score was 239.25 points. The referee's scoring proves that Sui Wenjing and Han Cong deserve to win the championship, worthy of the name, and have not been taken care of by home advantage and referees.
