In the table tennis arena of the Paris Olympics, Chen Meng defeated Sun Yingsha again with exquisite skills and tenacious will and successfully defended the women's singles championship. This pinnacle duel was supposed to be a wonderful stage for the competition between the two national craftsmen, but because of the unfair behavior of the audience, it left an undeserved shadow.
At the final scene, the audience's applause was jaw-dropping. Whenever Sun Yingsha scored, the audience cheered thunderously; When Chen Meng scored, he was met with cold eyes and silence. This biased attitude of the audience not only brought huge psychological pressure to Chen Meng, but also seriously damaged the fairness and enjoyment of the game. What's more, there were also spectators at the scene who made an inappropriate middle finger to Chen Meng, which was undoubtedly a direct affront to the dignity of athletes.
Despite facing unfair treatment from the audience, Chen Meng still showed the demeanor of a general after the game. She thanked all the spectators in attendance and remained humble and restrained about her victory. And Sun Yingsha, although she failed to win in the competition, her performance is also worthy of respect. The hard work of the two athletes on the field and their demeanor off the court show a positive image of Chinese table tennis players.
However, the inappropriate behavior of the audience makes one reflect. Is the applause and preference in the game a support for idols or a blasphemy against sportsmanship? Every effort of an athlete on the field deserves our equal respect and enthusiastic encouragement, rather than determining our attitude based on the result.
The public and the media have expressed deep concern about the impact of fan circle culture in sports competitions. The invasion of fan circle culture not only makes sports competitions tasteless, but also puts athletes under undue pressure. What should be pure sports competition has been overly entertaining and personalized, and this trend must be corrected.
The sports arena is a stage for athletes to show their strength and spirit, and every athlete who fights for their dreams deserves equal respect and fair treatment. Spectators, as part of the competition, should watch the game in a fair manner and cheer for the athletes with polite manners. Whether it is Chen Meng, Sun Yingsha, or any athlete who is fighting the field, their efforts and achievements deserve our respect and applause.
In the world of competitive sports, winning or losing is important, but what is more important is sportsmanship and the principle of fair play. Every applause and encouragement from the audience should be based on recognition of the athlete's real performance, not based on personal preferences or the influence of fan culture. Only in this way can we collectively uphold the purity and dignity of sport and make every game a symbol of justice and friendship.
