At the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, we saw a touching scene of "The Power of Faith" at the closing ceremony, where Russian and Ukrainian players embraced and celebrated, and then showed the words "more united", I don't know how many people cried at that time. However, not long has passed, and now the Russian sports world has been affected across the board.
On the evening of February 16, in the men's aerial skills final of freestyle skiing at the Beijing Winter Olympics, China's Qi Guangpu won the gold medal. Defending champion Abramenko of Ukraine won the silver medal and Russian Olympic Committee player Ilya Brov won the bronze medal. However, the Russian-Ukrainian players clapped their hands and hugged tightly after the final ranking, sharing the moment of joy together, which became the closing screen of the closing ceremony short film "The Power of Faith", and then the words "StrongerTogether" appeared on the screen, which made people cry!
Sports should have played a role in rallying people's hearts and minds, and should not be interfered with by things that have nothing to do with sports, but the world is often unsatisfactory, and various problems are always intertwined, which eventually makes pure sports affected by external factors, and athletes are also implicated. However, there is still a brilliant side in the human world.
In the final match of the 27th round of Serie A, Atalanta's 4-0 home victory over Sampdoria, the Russian player Milan Chuk refused to celebrate after scoring, and it was touching that his teammates did not deliberately alienate him because of his identity, but ran to hug him for comfort. It can be seen that at least in the Atlanta team, they treat Russian players equally, reflecting the Olympic spirit of "more unity".
What is even more touching is that according to Italian media reports, Milan Chuk hugged His Ukrainian teammate Malinovsky, who was absent due to injury after the game. It can be said that this is a reproduction of the Russian and Ukrainian athletes hugging each other in the promotional film of the closing ceremony of the Winter Olympic Games, who express their yearning for world peace in a united way and their dedication to the concept of unity under the heavens.
The concept of "going to the future together" is not limited to the sports world, I hope that everyone can sit down and have something to say, only peace can make the world a better place!
