When Chen Meng and Wang Manyu beat world No. 1 pair Tian Zhixi and Shin Yubin in an impressive 3-0 victory in the women's doubles final of a Grand Slam in Saudi Arabia, the entire sports world applauded the feat. However, when the bonus numbers came out, the mood of many fans turned from cheers to sighs. That's because, despite Chen Meng and Wang's top-notch skills and tenacity, their prize money has been described as "pitiful few".
Chen Meng and Wang Manyu went all the way through the competition, and finally showed their superb skills and tacit understanding in the final. Such a victory should bring a great reward, right? However, the fact is that their prize money is much lower than expected, at only 30,000 yuan each, compared to 450,000 yuan for the singles champion.
This begs the question, is the distribution of prize money in sporting events really fair? Doesn't the effort of the Women's Doubles champion deserve a higher reward? Many fans took to social media to express their displeasure, arguing that Chen Meng and Wang Manyu deserve more recognition and rewards than just verbal praise and a "pitiful" bonus.
We must ask ourselves, what is the real reward for athletes? Was it a brief round of applause on the field, or was it a real reflection of the tangible rewards they gave after the game? While the prize money is only one part of the story, it is a material recognition of an athlete's hard work and performance.
In this story, Chen Meng and Wang Manyu not only won the competition, but also won the public's attention to the issue of unfair prize money. Their success challenged the existing prize distribution system and got us all thinking and discussing the issue of fairness in sports competition.
