Li Xiaoshuang talked about his career in a talk show. It also talked about the controversy that arose in the just-concluded Olympic gymnastics competition. And said his own views on the controversy of the men's gymnastics all-around competition, believing that there is no factor of referee favoritism in gymnastics competitions, gymnastics champions are won by strength, and the media cannot overly protect athletes.
Xiao Ruoteng deducted 0.3 points for not appearing to the referee after the horizontal bar match, and Hashimoto Daiki jumped out of bounds when he landed on his horse. This matter was pushed to the forefront of public opinion in China at that time, and many people were upset about Xiao Ruoteng.
After we calmed down, through Li Xiaoshuang's comments, we can actually look at this controversial event objectively. Hashimoto Daiki was indeed on par with Xiao Ruoteng in the all-around event, and finally won the gold medal and led by only 0.4 points, in the words of Li Xiaoshuang, "The discrimination of the referee is only because you are weak." The championship battle between the two people is actually between millimeters, Xiao Ruoteng actually does not have an absolute advantage, and even has several projects in which the action difficulty of the two is the same.
Li Xiaoshuang also said that "when we took the two gold medals, no one was saying anything, all shut up", these two gold medals refer to Liu Yang's hanging ring and Zou Jingyuan parallel bars. And admit that no one can surpass the two of them in 3 to 5 years. Zou Jingyuan's parallel bar strength is really strong, the action is very high in both difficulty and fluency, and the netizens' evaluation is that the action is very "silky".
When Li Xiaoshuang talked about his career, he also responded to the controversy of men's free gymnastics at the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games, Li Xiaoshuang said that his movements have been perfect, but Melissanides (Greek athlete, 1996 Atlanta Olympic free gymnastics champion) His series of moves are beyond that era, Li Xiaoshuang's own actions are not innovative, and it is normal to lose the gold medal. This matter was also very controversial at that time, but Li Xiaoshuang himself still recognized the strength of Melissannidis.
As a gymnast, Li Xiaoshuang can look at the controversial event so calmly and objectively, which many netizens did not expect. Some netizens also commented that Li Xiaoshuang was "sober in the world" and said what others wanted to say but did not dare to say. In fact, in this incident, not only the media, but also some retired athletes, talking about the issue of gymnastics scoring, or misleading some people.
