Beijing time on April 5 news, Tokyo Olympics rhythmic gymnastics individual all-around gold medalist Ashram suddenly announced retirement, the 22-year-old Israeli athlete broke the Russian-Austrian monopoly on this project for 20 years. In the eyes of the Russian media, Ashram is a "gold medal thief" because she created the biggest controversy of the Tokyo Olympics.
Let's look back at last year's Tokyo Olympics, what happened then? At the time, the near-invincible Dina Avlina didn't seem to have a problem winning the title. Why, there are always accidents in sports arenas, but Dina Avella has indeed proved that the probability of losing in all competitions is extremely low, because so far, the 23-year-old Dina Avella has won 18 world championship gold medals, in addition to the first time to participate in the world championships to win 3 gold, the next 3 times to participate in the next 3 times are to win 5 gold in a single session, including the world championships after the Olympic Games also won 5 gold. In addition, Dina Avilina also won 10 gold in the European Championship, leading the power of the fault.
However, the champion of the individual all-around event of rhythmic gymnastics at the Tokyo Olympic Games belongs to Ashram and not to Dina Avilina, the former has never won the World Championships, and has won 6 silver and 5 bronze in 3 competitions, belonging to the defeated general of the perennial Dina Avilina. However, in the most important Olympic arena, Ashram counterattacked successfully, and Dina Avilina, without any mistakes, let the team lose the gold medal that was hailed as the "most stable" for the first time in 20 years.
Therefore, the Russian media angrily denounced the referee team of the rhythmic gymnastics project and also believed that Ashram stole the championship. In fact, many people in the industry, as well as celebrities and even officials, do not spare, so the gold medal of Ashram is accompanied by controversy. I don't know how much it has to do with the controversy to win the championship, Ashram reached her peak less than 1 year after winning the Olympic gold medal, the 22-year-old chose to retire at her peak, Ashram's own explanation is "to achieve a personal dream", so it is not comparable.
However, in the eyes of many people, Ashram is a typical "self-aware of the loss" and "stealing honor and running". Of course, Ashram's supporters were dismissive of the anger of the losers, because the results could not be changed, and Ashram retired in honor of olympic champions.
