Beijing time on February 27 news, the International Ski Federation (FIS) officially announced that the final ranking of the beijing Winter Olympics freestyle ski women's steeplechase was adjusted, the German player Meier medal, which originally won the bronze medal, was cancelled, and the Swiss player Smith replaced it. In the race at the time, Switzerland's Smith crossed the finish line for the third time in the final, but was found guilty of a foul. This time, the judgment will take effect. However, there is no news of chinese ice and snow fans who are concerned about missing gold medals in the snowboard slope obstacle course competition.
In the February 17 women's steeplechase finale for freestyle skiing, Sweden's Neslund was the first to cross the finish line and win the championship. Thompson of Canada crossed the finish line for the second time and finished second. The controversy was largely over Switzerland's Smith, who crossed the finish line for the third time but was found guilty of a foul. As a result, the fourth German player to cross the finish line, Meier, successfully won the bronze medal.
However, the Swiss team appealed, and the International Ski Federation eventually made a major change in the sentence, canceling the penalty in the final, the Swiss Smith successfully won the bronze medal, and the German Player Meier returned to fourth place, and the bronze medal was cancelled. Of course, there hasn't been much change in the medal table, Germany can still be in second place with one bronze medal, and Switzerland has won one more bronze medal.
Such an appeal success, occurred nearly 10 days after the end of the game, in the Olympic Games is not very common, many people may think of Su Yiming, because of a mistake of the referee, Su Yiming missed the gold medal in the snowboard slope obstacle course, otherwise there is a chance to win double gold, but at present, the Chinese team should not have an appeal, so Su Yiming 2 gold has no news for the time being.
All in all, referees are also human beings, and it is inevitable that there will be mistakes on the field, and I hope that all players can be treated fairly.
