According to domestic media reports on August 2, on July 31, local time, the Japanese media Kyodo News Agency claimed that as of July 30, at the Tokyo Olympic Games, Japan had won 17 gold medals, setting a new record for the country's Olympic gold.
Kyodo News Agency pointed out that Japan's previous Olympic record was 16 gold. However, in the difficult situation of the new crown epidemic this year, the Japanese Olympic delegation performed well and set a new record for winning gold. According to the real-time medals of the Tokyo Olympic Games, as of 17:00 Beijing time on August 2, China ranked first, with a total of 57 medals, including 27 gold, 16 silver and 14 bronze. The United States ranked second with a total of 60 medals, including 20 gold, 24 silver and 16 bronze. Japan, on the other hand, came in third, with 31 medals, 17 gold, 5 silver and 9 bronze medals.
Japanese media believe that compared with overseas athletes who are restricted by the movement due to the new crown, Japanese athletes can make full use of the national training center for training. A relevant person from the Sports Agency in Japan, which promotes intensive training, said: "This is the result of making full use of geographical advantages. However, many netizens do not think so, and many netizens express dissatisfaction with some of the medals won by the Japanese team.
On the evening of July 28, the Men's Gymnastics Individual All-Around Final was held at the Tokyo Olympics. During the competition, Japan's Daiki Hashimoto still gave a high score in the case of a mistake. However, After completing the same game action as Hashimoto Dahui perfectly, China's Xiao Ruoteng got a score similar to that of Hashimoto Dahui. The explanation given by the referee was that "Xiao Ruoteng did not signal to the referee at the end of the final action, so he was deducted an extra 0.3 points." In the end, Daiki Hashimoto won the gold medal in this game, and Xiao Ruoteng won the silver medal.
It should be noted that the scoring of this game is completely "fried" on social platforms. Many netizens have accused the referee of being unfair, biased towards the host Japan, and violating the Olympic spirit. Some netizens sarcastically said, "The best in the men's gymnastics individual all-around final of the Tokyo Olympics is the silver medal." In addition, Russian gymnast Svetlana Khorkina, who has won the Olympic gold medal twice, also spoke out, accusing the referee of unfair scoring in this game and maliciously lowering the scores of Russian athletes. She believes bronze medalist Nagorny's performance should be higher.
It is worth mentioning that on July 29, Xiao Ruoteng posted that everyone in the world has different views, and yesterday was recognized by the vast majority of friends, which is really fantastic. I hope that everyone can continue to support Chinese athletes, support Chinese gymnastics, and support Xiao Ruoteng, but I hope that everyone will not attack the athletes themselves too much, athletes are great, and work hard for their own goals, very inspiring! Thank you again for your support.
In fact, the Tokyo Olympic referee was accused of being unfair to more than just this game. In the women's water polo group stage of the Tokyo Olympic Games, there was a shocking scene in the match between the Chinese team and the Japanese team. During the competition, a Japanese player suspected of pressing his entire body on a Chinese player. The narrator said at the time that the Japanese player's behavior was supposedly foul. At one point, the Chinese player who was pressed raised his hand and signaled to the referee that the other party had committed a foul, but the referee did not react.
Although the Chinese team eventually defeated the Japanese team 16-11, the episode that appeared in the game still made many spectators who watched the game feel angry. Many people accused the Japanese players of this behavior of "not talking about martial arts!" Many netizens asked, "Is this not a foul?" Is there a referee? ”
