The "sense of relaxation" of the Paris Olympics is in trouble again.
After pronouncing Korea's name as North Korea at the opening ceremony, the Korea team was forced to usher in a new shock: the TV broadcasters hung the South Africa flag for Korea in the medal table...
This "sense of relaxation" also spread to Australia, where television production crews followed suit and directly planted the Chinese flag on Korea during the TV broadcast.
Good guys, Australians know history...
The repeated "whipping" of the Korea team even before the flag incident occurred, and it is conceivable that their anger value has reached its peak.
South Korean media issued an article saying that Korea was discriminated against at the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics, not only because the name of the country was mispronounced, but also because the photos posted on the official account of the Olympic Games also revealed discrimination everywhere: compared with the photos of other countries, only the photos of the Korea delegation were of significantly inferior quality.

Photos from other countries clearly show the faces and flags of the athletes, but not only do the photos of Korea not only do not have the faces of the athletes, but the flag is also blurred. The focus of the photo is still on the tourists gathered on the Seine bridge, not on Korea athletes.
(Korean media example: Why are the photos of Japan and United States so clear?) ）
Korea netizens entered the furious mode on the spot, but did not expect that the matter had not been resolved, and the official Olympic account stabbed the basket again - they misspelled the name of Korea's first gold medal, men's sabre champion Oh Sang-wook in the post.

Good guy, pronounce the wrong name of the country, spell the wrong name of the champion, plus the medal table TV replays the wrong national flag, wave after wave of unevenness, this will break the defense to the point that I don't know where to scold first...
What's more, everyone found that France have long had a history of not knowing the flag.
In the previous broadcast, the Korea flag was once regarded as a Japan variant, or a certain cola brand...

However, some foreign netizens brought up the old story again, saying that it is understandable that France made the Korea flag wrong, after all, at the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, Koreans made the France flag Russia. Now this wave can be regarded as the France remembering the small book to take time to take revenge on Korea.

Netizens complained passionately, and they can already see France people's daily schedule: open their eyes → insult Han → sleep. If this continues, the Koreans will steal the Eiffel Tower overnight.
Although the Korea flag is mistaken, Australia's broadcast television station also has to carry half of the pot, and it cannot be all thanks to the France. But the "relaxation" of the France does big things, and it really focuses on a mistake ...
Korea is not the only victim of relaxation. No, at the women's 100-meter breaststroke semifinals, when the Argentina athlete appeared, the Chinese flag was suddenly hung behind him.
The player looked at it again and again with a confused face, his eyes were full of big doubts, and finally he had no choice but to walk to the frontcourt.

If this level of error can be laughed at, the accident in the men's basketball game is even bigger and more outrageous. When the national anthem was played at the scene, the staff actually played the national anthem of South Sudan as the national anthem of Sudan, and the crowd immediately broke out into huge boos.
Just by looking at the names of South Sudan and Sudan, we know that there have been some frictions and conflicts in history. The France staff directly put the wrong national anthem on the spot, which was really a big basket.

Although the national anthem was quickly changed, the South Sudanese players were clearly quite unhappy:
"They [the organisers] have to do better because it's the biggest stage in the world and you know it's South Sudan that's playing.
It stands to reason that it is impossible to make a mistake on such an occasion and play a different national anthem, which is extremely disrespectful. ”
It's outrageous enough to misplace the national anthem, but there's even more outrageous, and the Olympians are almost delayed when they take a shuttle bus to the competition venue.
Canada badminton player Dong Xingyu posted that the Olympic shuttle bus was extremely inefficient, and the driver said that he was lost when the game was about to start.
Fortunately, everyone saw him in the live broadcast later, otherwise it would have been a big mistake.
On the other hand, when Chinese player Hua Tian participated in an equestrian competition, a staff member rushed into the scene, causing the horses to be frightened for a moment. Hua Tian was also penalized for this, and his ranking slipped from 3rd to 32nd.
After the game, Hua Tian recalled the situation at that time and said that it would indeed have a certain impact, but it was not known how it would be handled.
In the swimming arena, after the competition, there were even staff wearing floral pants who went into the water to help catch swimming caps. The narrator didn't know what he was doing for a moment when he saw the flower pants, thinking that the organizer had arranged some small program.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after finding out that it was the staff, but fortunately it wasn't some strange work...
Turning their gaze to the Seine, the "stinking ditch" report has been shouting for months, and what makes people worry is that the Seine will eventually become a stinky ditch...
Because the water quality of the Seine River was so poor due to the rainy day, the official has canceled the advance training session of triathlon swimming.
If the water quality shows no signs of improving by Tuesday, the men's swimming session will be cancelled and the women's competition on Wednesday will be in jeopardy...
(Heavy rain also caused local power outages in Paris)
Law and order is also a big problem, and on Saturday, the sister-in-law of the emir of Qatar (the emir, equivalent to the head of state) was stolen on a high-speed train from Nice to Paris, and 11 Hermès bags disappeared.
It was reported that the bag contained very valuable personal belongings, but at this stage, neither the bag nor the thief were found.
Although there are a lot of broken things, you really can't seem to be angry with the France. People obviously don't mean to be bad, high EQ points say that people are called relaxed, low EQ said...
In addition, the turmoil of the previous opening ceremony has not yet ended, and after the huge controversy caused by the part that showcased diversity and openness and inclusiveness, the Paris Olympic Organizing Committee had to come forward to apologize for the controversial program.
The spokesperson said there was never any intention to show disrespect to any religious group, and the artistic director of the opening ceremony said, "We want to talk about diversity, and diversity means unity. We want to get everybody involved, and the idea is actually quite simple. ”
But apparently, the apology didn't quell the anger either. The official account removed the opening ceremony video without giving any explanation.
(The opening ceremonies of the previous sessions can be watched normally)
There are also sponsors who said they chose to withdraw because they were dissatisfied with the opening ceremony. C Spire, a Mississippi-based telecommunications technology company, has announced that it will withdraw all advertising run at this Olympics due to the opening ceremony's mockery of The Last Supper.
The Mississippi Republican governor then spoke, saying he appreciated C Spire's withdrawal. Angry believers also issued a joint article saying, "We should resist and make our voices heard." ”
Although it is funny to chat, but if it continues to be so "relaxed", I am afraid that it will cause a diplomatic accident, and the dissatisfaction can be seen from the boos of the audience when the South Sudan national anthem is misplaced.
With such a world-class stage, athletes and teams from various countries and regions have worked so hard to prepare, why can't they be slack? It's only the third day that so many things have happened, I don't know what "surprises" the France have prepared for everyone in the future... But it's better not to be surprised...
