Although the Beijing Winter Olympics, a major global sports event, has come to an end, there is still some controversy surrounding the ownership of medals at this Winter Olympics. No, the International Ski Federation officially announced that in the freestyle ski women's steeplechase final on February 17, the bronze medal of the Swiss team was cancelled due to the referee's misjudgment. After the final decision, the bronze medal of the Swiss team was restored, and the German team, which had previously won the bronze medal, won the fourth place and missed the medal. This official announcement also made the previous snowboard slope obstacle course competition suffer a misjudgment, and the Chinese post-00s player Su Yiming, who lost the gold medal, once again became the focus. Many netizens questioned: the referee on the spot admitted to misjudging, so is there any news about Su Yiming's gold medal?
On February 17, in the women's free ski track final, the Swedish, Canadian, Swiss and German teams competed fiercely. In the end, Sweden's Neslund had the last laugh, and was the first to cross the finish line to help Sweden win the gold medal. Canadian athlete Thompson was the second to rush to the finish line and helped Canada win the silver medal. At that time, the third person to cross the finish line was Swiss Smith, and it is reasonable to say that the Swiss should have won the bronze medal. However, the referee on duty judged that Smith had committed a foul in the game, so the result was canceled, so that the German player who won the fourth place rose one step to the third place and got a bronze medal. However, the Swiss team was not convinced by the referee's decision. In their opinion, Smith did not foul the game, and the referee's decision was a misjudgment. In response, the Swiss team appealed for the return of the bronze medal that belonged to them.
After a dozen days of waiting, the Swiss team got the result they wanted. The International Ski Federation officially announced that the penalty imposed on Swiss player Smith in the final of the women's free ski slew track was wrong, and the penalty on the spot was officially cancelled. In this way, Smith managed to get the bronze medal that he deserved, and the bronze medal won by the German team's Meier in the match was cancelled. I have to say that after such a long time after the end of the game, it is indeed relatively rare to be able to decide the ownership of the medal by changing the judgment of the current game. However, the success of the Swiss team's appeal has also given more expectations to domestic audiences who pay attention to ice and snow sports, that is, the gold medal of China's Su Yiming in the men's snowboard slope obstacle course competition.
At this Beijing Winter Olympics, Su Yiming, a young player after 00, can be said to be a blockbuster. In both of the competitions he has played, his performance can be described as perfect. However, in the end, his result was one gold and one silver, not two gold. In fact, he should have won the gold medal in the snowboard slope steeplechase that lost the gold medal. But in that game, Su Yiming encountered a major misjudgment by the referee on duty during the game. Let's not say that his score is relatively low, and there is a possibility of being crushed. In terms of the referee's misjudgment of a wrong action of the final winner, Su Yiming can win the gold medal. Shortly after the end of the match, the referee on duty also publicly stated that by reviewing the video, there was indeed a misjudgment in the game, giving the winner 3 points. And if these 3 points are deducted, then the gold medal should go to Su Yiming.
Although the referee publicly admitted to the wrongful judgment, the gold medal ultimately failed to belong to Su Yiming. And this time the Swiss team's appeal was successful, which once again made ice and snow fans look forward to Su Yiming's gold medal. However, so far, Su Yiming's gold medal still has no news. It seems that the Chinese team should not have filed an appeal. Otherwise, Su Yiming should be two gold kings in this Winter Olympics, and the number of gold medals of the Chinese team in the Winter Olympics will also be doubles for the first time.
