Seeing a very bad news, the president of the Korean Table Tennis Association, Yoo Seung-min, tested positive for the new crown. Before going to Tokyo, Yoo Did Two Negative Nucleic Acid Tests and Got Two Shots of The Vaccine. Unexpectedly, I tested positive in Tokyo. This has to worry about the safety of the Tokyo Olympics.
It's only been five days since the Tokyo Olympics were held, but there are already messages that other members of the arrival delegation are infected with the virus. The Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee said on the 15th that 1 athlete and 1 Olympic-related person from overseas and 4 business outsourcing personnel living in Japan tested positive for the virus.
Speaking of Liu Chengmin, domestic sports fans should be familiar with it. At the 2004 Athens Olympic Games, Liu Chengmin unexpectedly defeated Wang Hao in the men's singles final of table tennis and won the men's singles championship, from which he became famous in one fell swoop. Yoo Seung-min has accumulated great popularity in South Korea, so he has been valued by the Korean Table Tennis Association and has gradually come to the position of president of the Korean Table Tennis Association. He is also a member of the International Olympic Committee. Supposedly, with The status of Liu Chengmin, he should be well protected, but he did not expect that he was still infected. At present, Yoo Seung-min is being quarantined at a hotel in Tokyo. This has to worry about the safety of this Olympic Games.
Not only may the arrival of people pose a virus risk, the management of the Tokyo 2020 Organizing Committee seems to be very strict, but there are still many loopholes.
In order to avoid infection, the Tokyo Organising Committee strictly controls the behavior of athletes. Athletes are prohibited from gathering, shaking hands, not allowed to take public transportation, strict social distancing, etc. Singing, shouting, cheering, only clapping when watching the game, and what self-help prizes are accepted. To give a specific example, athletes cannot wipe the table with their hands during table tennis competitions, and cannot blow rackets and table tennis with their mouths. This request was once complained about by Liu Guoliang and domestic table tennis fans. For local volunteers in Japan, the organizing committee only provided them with two masks and 2 bottles of hand sanitizer. Volunteers had to wash the masks repeatedly and then reuse them. The Tokyo 2020 Organising Committee did this, not knowing whether it was a shortage of funds or whether it wanted to save money.
The Tokyo Organising Committee has developed a series of strict systems that seem to be perfect, but there are still loopholes in the actual operation process. For example, the players who tested positive for overseas in Japan reported by the Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee on the 15th did not go to the Tokyo Olympic Games reception city to participate in the pre-game training after entering Japan, but went directly to the Olympic Village under the jurisdiction of the Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee. It's really worrying that the players are so unruly. It can also be seen that there are still problems in the management of the Tokyo 2020 Organizing Committee.
Japanese journalists also found loopholes when filming Olympic delegations entering Japan. Two members of the Afghan delegation were mixed in with ordinary passengers when they entered Japan because of language problems. Fortunately, the Afghan delegation underwent a nucleic acid test and the results were negative. It didn't cause harm, but foreign athletes could just blend into the regular passenger crowd, which was too confusing.
What is even more infuriating is that after the Chinese table tennis players arrived in Tokyo, they were actually surrounded by local "Internet celebrities". On the evening of the 17th, the second group of members of the Chinese delegation arrived in Japan. Table tennis players Liu Shiwen, Sun Yingsha, Chen Meng and others were fully armed, wearing masks and goggles. The national table tennis players have strictly followed the requirements, but some small Internet celebrities in Japan do not follow the regulations and are bent on rubbing traffic. When the national table tennis players were out of the customs, they were followed by a number of Japanese "small Internet celebrities". These people were very close to the national table tennis players, and some people also pulled down masks, surrounded Liu Shiwen and forcibly asked to take a photo with her.
These people completely disregard the provisions of epidemic prevention and management measures, and they are too undeserved. And the Japanese management is also a little irresponsible, why no one came out to stop it. So were the photojournalists, who were less than 2 meters away from the Olympians when taking pictures. These people should be trained and familiar with epidemic prevention measures. If even these people do not comply with the epidemic prevention measures, it will be even more difficult for others to comply. If Japan wants to prevent such things from happening, the best way is to strengthen management and strictly control those who do not follow the rules.
When such a disregard for the rules broke out one after another, the Japanese police promised to strengthen management in the future. Hopefully, their commitment is not just shouting slogans, but really strengthening management. If that can't be done, hosting the Olympics will be dangerous. This will endanger not only Japan, but also other countries. It is hoped that the Japanese organizers will strengthen their management and reduce the occurrence of non-compliance with the rules.
