The opening ceremony of the "Great Oolong of the Country"
Loading...
It is said that the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics should have been a grand event of global attention, and the delegations of various countries slowly walked into the venue with cheerful steps, showing their own style and characteristics. But no one expected that this first wave of popularity would be seized by a "national name oolong". According to feedback from loyal viewers of the live broadcast, when the Korea delegation was preparing to appear with their iconic Taiji flag, the live broadcast system suddenly became "naughty" and pronounced Korea's name as North Korea. This time, the audience at the scene and in front of the screen were stunned, and they left messages on social media: "Is this the scene of the time-traveling drama?" Or are our IOC comrades testing our geographical knowledge? What's more, he directly ridiculed: "It seems that even the broadcasting system has felt the charm of Korea food and thought that it has come to the birthplace of kimchi!" ”
"Wu Shangxu" becomes "Unsung Hero"
If the mispronunciation of the country's name at the opening ceremony was just a small episode, then the following "name turmoil" is even more ridiculous. Korea's first gold medalist Oh Sang-wook, a hero who fought the field and won glory for his country, encountered another "identity crisis" at the moment of glory when the medal was announced. It turned out that when the list of winners was announced, Wu Shangxu's name was mistaken! For a while, there was a question on the Internet about "Who is Wu Shangxu?" Some people speculated whether it was the pseudonym of a mysterious player, and some people ridiculed: "This is probably the most 'low-key' champion in history, and I don't even let everyone know the name." Some netizens opened their minds and created a series of funny jokes about "looking for Wu Shangxu", which added a bit of joy to this accident.
"Adventures of the National Flag" in the medal table
If the first two times were "unintentional mistakes", then this "Adventure of the National Flag" on the medal table is really laughable. As soon as the gold medal list was released on the first day, sharp-eyed netizens noticed that something was wrong - Korea's flag was actually marked as the Chinese flag! This time, netizens in both countries were amused. Chinese netizens said: "Oh, this is the small boat of friendship between the two countries has been upgraded to a luxury cruise ship, and even the national flag is 'shared'." And Korea netizens shook their heads with a smile while frantically @ the IOC in the comment area: "Excuse me, is this the latest cultural exchange project?" How did we not know? Netizens from the two countries joined forces to launch an interesting activity of "Searching for the True National Flag", which turned this episode into a bridge to enhance the friendship between the two peoples.
The mystery of "Korea found the reason why the flag was hung incorrectly".
As the incident continued to ferment, various versions began to circulate on the Internet that "Korea found the reason why the national flag was hung incorrectly". Some say that the staff of the International Olympic Committee have a soft spot for Chinese red, and they accidentally "empathize and don't fall in love"; Some say that the Korea flag and the Chinese flag are similar in color, and they were accidentally confused during the busy preparation process. But the most hilarious thing is the "scientific explanation" created by netizens: "Do you know? This is actually quantum mechanics at work! At that moment, the Korea Taiji Flag and the Chinese Five-Star Red Flag were quantumally entangled, resulting in an anomaly in the observations! This comment quickly became popular, attracting countless netizens to like and retweet, saying: "It turns out that this is the charm of science!" ”
Controversial summary: Laughing and thinking about the Olympic vignette
This series of seemingly absurd "vignettes" brings laughter to people at the same time, but also makes people think deeply. In such a grand international event, such a mistake really should not be made, and it tests the care and professionalism of the organizers. But from another point of view, these "accidents" have also become a unique scenery in the Olympic Games, making the originally tense and fierce competition a little more relaxed and interesting. More importantly, they promote exchanges and understanding between different countries and cultures in a unique way, so that the Olympic spirit of "faster, higher, stronger - more united" has been more widely disseminated. So, when we look back on these hilarious moments again, we might as well smile with a heart of tolerance and understanding, and then continue to cheer for those athletes who really sweat and chase their dreams on the field!
