Movie fans know that the "Oscar" award is the ceiling of the film industry, and the "Oscar of sports" is the Laureus Annual Awards, which caused great controversy after the list of sports awards was announced in 2022.
The Italian football team, which won the European Championship last year, won the Lawrence Team of the Year Award, although the Blue Jackets won the European Championship last year, but they broke the play-off stage of the World Cup qualifiers, missed the Qatar World Cup finals, and broke out of the big cold, so it is a joke that the Italian team won the award.
Previously, the Chinese Olympic diving team that won seven gold medals in the eight diving projects of the Tokyo Olympic Games was shortlisted for the Best Team Award candidate, when the "Dream Team" led by Quan Hongchan competed for the award with the Italian men's football team, the Argentine men's football team, the Bucks, etc., many people felt that the probability of success of the Chinese diving team was very high, after all, just by relying on a talented girl Who turned out to be Quan Hongchan was enough for the world to be surprised, but when the results came out, many people felt a little helpless.
In addition, the US Open champion Emma Raducannu won the Breakthrough Award of the Year, and the failure of gu Ailing, who is very popular since last year, has caused some controversy, after all, Gu Ailing has represented China and won two gold and one silver at this year's Beijing Winter Olympics, which is enough to show its stability. Moreover, Gu Ailing's mixed-race identity and the super high appearance recognized by the world have made her have an international style, but her final failure still makes people feel that Chinese sports are targeted.
China is a comprehensive sports country, foreigners are good at racing, rugby, etc. are not popular in our country, the audience is very small, and the projects we are good at such as weightlifting, table tennis, diving, etc. Although they are the only ones in the world, they are not recognized by ceiling awards such as Lawrence.
If the Lawrence selection team is played by Asians, then the probability of winning the award will be another version, Chinese sports in the Olympic Games is a proper gold medalist, but in the hands of the Western sports community that controls the right to speak, we are still not in the eyes of others, so the natural gold content of biased awards will be greatly reduced.
