The Korean team made a wise decision to admit fouls to cancel the appeal plan! Netizen: Can't put it on? The 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics has come to an end, the Chinese delegation has achieved 9 gold, 4 silver and 2 bronze ranking third place in the medal table, creating the best record since participating in the Winter Olympics, while the Korean team in Asia only won 2 gold, 5 silver and 2 bronze, and in this Winter Olympics, the Korean team can be said to have caused considerable controversy, especially in the short track speed skating event, a number of South Korean players were cancelled for fouls.
Previously, the South Korean team also protested and appealed to the International Skating Federation, believing that the referee's decision on South Korean athletes in the short track speed skating event was unfair, but the International Skating Federation rejected the South Korean team's request, which caused dissatisfaction among the Korean team, and even held a press conference to continue to appeal to the International Court of Arbitration for Sport. In the short track speed skating men's 1000 meters, South Korea's Hwang Daehyun and Lee Joon-sui were cancelled for fouls, resulting in the South Korean team failing to win medals in the event, and finally China's Ren Ziwei won the championship, after the game, the South Korean team once refused to admit that Ren Ziwei won the championship, and also cried for Huang Daxian, believing that the referee's decision was unfair. However, over time, the Korean team has abandoned the appeal to the International Court of Arbitration for Sport. Judging from the latest news, the Korean Olympic Committee also held a special press conference to announce the formal abandonment of the appeal to the International Court of Arbitration for Sport.
The South Korean team explained the reason for the abandonment, mainly considering that there is a world championship behind, and does not want to affect the preparation for the world championship because of the appeal, and the South Korean team also said that because Hwang Dae-hyun's foul was a semi-final, not a final, so even if it was appealed, it might not be able to win, so it finally chose to give up. Judging from the statement of the South Korean team, because there is still a world championship in March, if you have been struggling with this matter, it is very likely to have an impact on the world championship, plus Hwang Dae-hyun was fouled in the semi-finals, which did not have much impact on the final, and it is impossible to change the ownership of the gold and silver medals.
In fact, the South Korean team knows very well whether Hwang Dae-hyun has fouled, but why did he appeal before? The main thing is to put pressure on the referee team, but with the Beijing Winter Olympics coming to an end, if you continue to appeal, it will not be good for the Korean team, and this will only make the Korean team more humiliated, and will also leave a very bad impression on the referee. Many netizens also commented: "Just give up? Know the shame? "With video footage taken by high-speed cameras, isn't South Korea's appeal a lack of heart?" It is also wise not to appeal and save some face for yourself. "Self-aware of the loss, no one to help, give yourself a step down." "Can't fit anymore? Keep appealing. "I thought I was going to compete for the first medal, but I won two gold medals."
