In a recent gymnastics competition, Xia Sining attracted strong attention from the audience and netizens in front of the TV with her individual all-around qualification.
And this attention is not at all because of how beautiful and difficult Xia Sining's body movements are, but because Xia Sining seems to be wearing "briefs".
The "briefs" ballet, which is less difficult, can be worn shorter, so that the movements are easier to do, and it is not easy to fall;
Why did the gymnast wear it this time?
But after that, some people ridiculed Xia Sining for wearing such sweatpants, saying that she was obviously here to participate in the gymnastics competition, why didn't she choose standard sweatpants, and chose a pair of pants like this "wrapped little sister".
Many people don't buy it, saying that briefs and standard sweatpants are the same thing, and there is no need to rise to the height of controversy for such a small matter.
1. Fashion is full of variables, and athletes have more freedom of choice.
Regarding Xia Sining's choice this time, the public has very different views on her.
Many people think that Xia Sining thinks about reducing the wind resistance a little by wearing such "briefs", which is thankless, and the wind resistance is so small that he doesn't have to care about it, why is there no professionalism at all;
Some people think that Xia Sining can of course get used to wearing "briefs" during training, and she wears pants that are comfortable for her and used to in the competition, which can improve her concentration in the game.
There are also those who believe that briefs are an increasingly popular fashion element, and that athletes' attire can also reflect trends, and whether they can accept it depends on the public themselves.
In fact, the attire of athletes in competitions has always been a very sensitive matter.
On the one hand, this incident reflects obvious fashion elements, especially from the perspective of two centuries, most of the sportswear have significant fashion elements, vividly showing that sports are the same as the avant-garde fashion trend.
On the other hand, the way an athlete dresses on their clothing can also affect their performance.
For example, in women's diving, women's competition clothes are very close-fitting, but many players will choose to fit to a very tight suit, so that when they fall on the water, the competition clothes will not be greatly affected by the water, maintain the shape of the body, and will not expose private parts.
In speed skating, for example, skaters opt for rubber sweatpants that are very close-fitting because they reduce the area of contact with air and increase the speed of the athlete.
In this way, because choosing sweatpants with this kind of briefs may also have an impact on Xia Sining's speed, otherwise why wouldn't she wear standard sweatpants?
In fact, the reason why Xia Sining chose briefs for this competition is not because she thinks that this can reduce wind resistance and improve speed.
Some people also think that because Xia Sining likes to wear briefs, she will choose to wear briefs in this competition, and she wants to wear them so that she can concentrate on the competition.
In fact, it is not true, although Xia Sining usually wears briefs to train is a great opportunity, but her training pants are not specially made for her body competition, and she is also very aware of the importance of dress in professional competitions, so she will naturally choose more professional competition pants in professional competitions.
The public also has different expectations for athletes' attire, and they still want to see athletes wearing very professional pants for professional competitions, and never wear sweatpants that do not meet the standard for any reason;
And briefs, or ballet, have nothing to do with gymnastics?
Rather, even if it is really suitable for movements, it must be because it is a ballet aspect of the movement that is especially suitable for this kind of pants, and it is definitely not suitable for gymnasts.
These people believe that many people and many things are constantly increasing, but they still can't compromise on professionalism, and they must not leave fans and viewers with an unprofessional image.
But Xia Sining's choice of briefs this time means that she has no professionalism at all?
In fact, it is not necessarily, judging from her personal appearance, she can attract the attention of others more than many of her peers, and this competition is not because of how well she dances, but because she can attract the attention of so many people is also an ability;
Besides, if it were another event, the briefs did not violate the rules, there was no professionalism, and she was not qualified to participate in the event, no one would belittle her ranking because she wore briefs.
But having her wear sweatpants that they think is the most professional is also against the rules and reduces the fairness of the competition.
Xia Sining was not affected by her dress in this competition, her professionalism was still played in the competition, and we should not be too excited when we look at this matter, and we should not use false rumors.
On the other hand, most people think that Xia Sining's dress this time is just to keep up with the trend and appear to be very individual, but the public pays more attention to the professionalism of athletes.
Sometimes, if you pay too much attention to professionalism, it will evolve into too rigid rules and fall into formalism, which will make the athletes lose some of their original style, which is not good.
For Xia Sining, choosing this kind of briefs may be an expression, a way to express one's personality, and there is nothing wrong with this choice, because this kind of briefs is indeed in line with the regulations, not a gymnastics uniform without a sense of professionalism, so there is no need to have any negative attitude towards it.
Athletes have the right to choose what they wear, whether in competition or in daily life, they can choose what they want to wear, and they can feel more focused on the competition.
Although some people think that the image of athletes should not receive too much attention, the demeanor and image of athletes will also receive a lot of attention.
Over the years, there have also been many people who want to express their opinions through some of their own clothing, so it is the same for athletes, they can choose according to their preferences.
2. Differences in public perception.
It is not difficult to see that there is also a big difference in the public's image of athletes, and some people want athletes to show the best professional attitude, and they think that they must keep their faces tight and conscientious at all times.
In this way, the profession can be more professional and the norms more standardized, which is actually not advisable, because athletes are human beings and will have their own emotions, and it is impossible to maintain a serious face and attitude all the time.
And some people's expectation is to see the dazzling side of athletes, they want to see the relaxed side of athletes, and the side that others can't see, they feel that the life of athletes is very tired, the competition is also tense, and it is a good thing to be able to bring some happiness to athletes at this time.
This view is also not advisable, because in professional competitions, training and energy are very important, which is also an important guarantee for winning, so athletes should show more professional side at this time.
In fact, the public should also be more open-minded about these things, and not escalate a small matter to the level of controversy, which is not conducive to the athlete's mentality in training, and will also have a negative impact on their performance.
3. Give more tolerance and support.
There has never been a shortage of arguments that it is inconsequential to say that what an athlete wears is irrelevant, and to some extent, what an athlete wears is also an expression of their personality, a way for them to express themselves.
Some people may think that athletes dress only to obey the norms, engage in their own sports, and it doesn't matter how they dress, while others think that athletes are not only engaged in their professional sports at the end of the day, and have too much time to deal with in addition to training.
They are also human beings, and they need their own rest and buffer time, and at this time they may also want to make themselves feel more comfortable through their own clothing, so this is not a matter of obeying the norms, you can also put some loose, and retreat some lets.
As an athlete, there are also some options to choose from, and they can choose according to their needs and preferences, so the public should also look at these issues with a more tolerant attitude, otherwise it will be too harsh.
epilogue
Fashion elements in gymnastics competitions are unavoidable, and these changes should be viewed with a more open mind to create a more relaxed and inclusive competitive environment for athletes.
An athlete's choice of attire is not only an individual's right, but also an expression of personal traits and self-confidence, which deserves our support and respect.
The attire of the athletes directly affects the outcome of the competition, and the fashion elements are also varied, and the athletes should not be forced to obey the norms, only by accepting the choices of the athletes, we can have a richer culture and fashion.
At this event, the audience had a controversy about Xia Sining's way of dressing, and it was also because of the development and diversity of society, the audience had different views on gender, aesthetics and professional image.
