Although the Xi'an Diving World Cup has been decided, the controversy over the "fairness of the competition" has intensified.
This time it was really a big fuss, and it was rumored on the Internet that Guo Jingjing would be the chief referee to thoroughly investigate the Xi'an Diving World Cup, and some law professors publicly said that "I think the results of the competition are invalid".
Why is there such a heated discussion, it is indeed "there is a reason for it." ”
Controversy and two "doubts"
It can be clearly seen from the live broadcast that although Quan Hongchan made a mistake in the first four jumps, her fifth jump was quite perfect.
Even Guo Jingjing couldn't help but sigh after watching the replay of the game: "This is completely a perfect jump, and there is still a referee who can give 8 points?"
However, at the scene at that time, probably from the referee to the audience, they really didn't pay much attention to Quan Hongchan's perfect jump.
Because the host of the event began to announce that "the champion of this Xi'an Diving World Cup has been confirmed to be Chen Yuxi" when Quan Hongchan was just standing on the diving platform.
At that time, nearly half of the audience began to cheer, and many people questioned whether the host's operation was correct, which can be called an uproar.
And Quan Hongchan's performance was also slightly abnormal, she hadn't finished the competition at that time, and it was just her turn to jump for the fifth jump.
After the host announced the "champion name", he took a deep breath, ignored the noisy environment, and jumped directly.
Many viewers said that when they checked the replay afterwards, they were really distressed to see Quan Hongchan standing quietly on the jumping platform listening to the host's broadcast.
After completing the fifth dive, Quan Hongchan didn't even rest much, and started a new round of running.
In the crowd, wearing a tight swimsuit, she quickly passed through the stands, trotting all the way to the podium, and most of the other venue staff and spectators passing by were cheering for the "finale" of the event, with relaxed expressions.
Only Quan Hongchan was holding a towel by herself, wiping the water droplets on her head and body that had not yet fallen, while continuing to run faster.
Faced with this situation, some netizens commented: "There are still athletes who haven't made the fifth jump, the champion has already been announced, if Quan Hongchan doesn't run faster, maybe she won't even get a silver medal." ”
This is indeed the case, in this 2024 FINA Diving World Cup Finals, the operation of the host is indeed a little "confusing".
There are also athletes who start to announce the champion and lead the audience to cheer when they are participating in the normal competition, seemingly without considering whether it will affect the mentality of the athletes on the field.
It was the host's operation that made countless viewers begin to question the "fairness of the competition" of the Xi'an Diving World Cup.
As the attention continues to rise, now, a professor of international law at China University of Political Science and Law has made a public statement, saying that "this match should be invalid and demanding that Chen Yuxi's championship results be cancelled".
The law professor believes that the host's behavior of "opening champagne at half time" is a procedural violation and directly affects the "fairness" of the normal game.
In addition, countless people rushed to the account of the "diving queen" Guo Jingjing, hoping that Guo Jingjing could come out to "uphold justice".
Many people believe that the behavior of the host announcing the champion in advance in this final will not only affect the mentality of the athletes who have not completed the competition, and then affect the results, but also a great disrespect for the athletes.
Now this matter is really "making a big fuss", in response to the matter of "the host announced the champion in advance", Guo Jingjing really "came out of the mountain".
According to the revelations, Guo Jingjing will be the chief referee to thoroughly investigate the "various chaos" at the Xi'an World Cup finals and the reasons behind them.
And professionals take action, and look at the problem that is to the point.
When many viewers are still struggling with the "issue of respect", the two "investigation directions" released by Guo Jingjing are eye-opening.
According to the revelations, the first direction of Guo Jingjing's investigation is why Quan Hongchan made a mistake in the 207C action of the fourth jump.
Perhaps for the layman, diving is inevitable to make mistakes, although it is a pity, but it is understandable.
But from Guo Jingjing's point of view, Quan Hongchan's "mistake" in the fourth jump seems to not exist, when Quan Hongchan completed a near-perfect 207C rotation in the air, but there was a "problem" when entering the water.
It can be seen through slow play that Quan Hongchan's upper body enters the water very smoothly, but when her calves enter the water, she suddenly splashes.
It was this mistake that caused Quan Hongchan's average score to be lowered instantly, which in turn led to the follow-up "early announcement of the champion".
Guo Jingjing's speech was very sharp, and she bluntly said that this investigation should thoroughly investigate whether there was any human intervention behind the "Quan Hongchan Bombing Splash".
And the second thing, the sword pointed directly at the host on the spot.
For many viewers who like Quan Hongchan and love to watch diving events, the main reason for the outbreak of this incident should be the "host opening champagne at half-time" incident.
During the follow-up review, many netizens believed that the host specially announced the champion in advance after Quan Hongchan stood on the platform, and it was very likely that he was instructed by someone to deliberately affect the athlete's mentality.
Regarding this appeal of netizens, Guo Jingjing said that she understood it very much.
According to the revelations, the host of the final field is already under investigation, which is related to the fairness of the competition and the honor of the two outstanding divers, and the investigation team is very active.
If it is determined that there is a "necessary connection", then Chen Yuxi's "championship ranking" may really be canceled.
epilogue
No matter what the final result is, it cannot be denied that Quan Hongchan and Chen Yuxi are excellent.
And two such excellent athletes, but because of the host's improper operation, they fell into a turmoil, and this matter is indeed worth investigating.
I hope Guo Jingjing can give you a satisfactory investigation result as soon as possible.
