Since there is an Olympic story (retrospective) of "this TM can also get a gold medal", according to the conservation of energy, there must be "This medal can also be tm lost?" ”。 Their stories are even more bizarre, missing out on gold medals for various reasons, and even losing medals in their hands.....
1, because Tintin hung up.....
(From the facial expression, it hurts)
Again, from the recent beginning, this is probably the most "painful" game in this Olympic Games. In the pole vault qualifying round, Japan's Ogida Daiki was supposed to jump over the crossbar perfectly, but Tintin, who was not willing to be lonely, became the only obstacle - his Tintin hung on the crossbar, causing the challenge to fail, so he missed the final.
2. Scold the referee and lose the bronze medal that you have already got
At the Beijing Olympics, Swedish wrestler Ala Abrahamian lost in the semi-finals and could not qualify, but could only compete for the bronze medal. But he thought that the loss was due to the unfairness of the referee, so he and the coach scolded the referee, announcing that they were going to quit the game, but calmed down under the persuasion of his teammates and continued his bronze medal battle, and finally he won the game and won the bronze medal.
However, the dude's temper came up again at the award ceremony, and he angrily threw the bronze medal and shouted, "Give me the gold medal!" This is the last time Lao Tzu will participate in the Olympic Games, and Lao Tzu wants a gold medal. I think this Olympics is scum! ”
The IOC said it could not tolerate his behavior and finally announced the confiscation of Abrahamian's bronze medal and a two-year ban...
3, too good temper can not be
The brother above was confiscated for his medals because he was too hot-tempered, and the next one was because he was too provocative. At the 1952 Helsinki Olympics, Swedish boxer Ingmar Johansson used conservative tactics in the final with American Ed Sanders, dodging attacks for two consecutive legs without a single punch in the entire match.
Because of his passive playing, the IOC decided to disqualify him from winning the silver medal. Although Johansson and his coach explained that it was a tactic to drain the opponent's physical strength, this statement did not shake the Olympic Committee. In the end, Sanders won the gold medal, while Johnsson had nothing.
However, the luck of this brother was better, and after 30 years, the Olympic Organizing Committee finally forgave Johnsson and returned the silver medal to him.
4, because of getting lost
In 1900, the second Olympic Games were held in Paris, France, and the most interesting of them was the marathon. The organizing committee set up the route of the competition on the intricate streets of Paris, which were crammed with motor vehicles, animals, bicycles, pedestrians and tourists improvising.
This arrangement gave the French athletes a head start, and with their knowledge of the terrain of Paris, the host athletes could choose the nearest route, which saved a lot of time.

Players from other countries were not so lucky. When the French players "cut a short path", the other players were already dizzy in the labyrinthine streets of Paris, especially the 19-year-old Swedish boy Fast, who had been leading the way, but got lost in the middle, and a confused policeman pointed him in the wrong direction, and finally only finished third.
Osser Newton in the game
Fifth-place finisher Osser Newton thought he had won the championship when he ran to the finish line, as he never saw any other runners throughout the race.
5, because of cheating
The third Olympic Games, held in St. Louis, USA in 1904, were known as the olympic games with the most oolongs.
St. Louis Olympic Commemorative Stamps
In that marathon, American Fred Lotts took the lead and ran ahead. When he finished 12 kilometers, he got on a passing car and took 17 kilometers before getting off the car and continuing to run, and finally reached the finish line first. U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt's daughter, Alice Roosevelt, personally presented him with a golden medal and photographed him.

Later, after the East Window Incident, he was disqualified from the championship and banned for life.
6, because eating apples
Also at the marathon of the 1904 Olympics, another athlete who missed out on the championship was Cajal, a Cuban postman who had been sponsored by a neighbor to come to the Olympic marathon.
Cajal
He had never received any formal training before the race and had never participated in any marathons. Kajal, standing in front of the starting line, was dressed in a long-sleeved shirt, trousers and bulky leather boots, but the well-meaning spectators cut his sleeves and trouser tubes before the run and lent him a pair of light shoes.
Cajal in the game
In this way, Cajal, who participated in the competition for the first time, was on the road. After the start, Cajal remained at the top of the line and was considered the most promising to reach the podium. But the hungry and thirsty Cajal ran into the orchard on the side of the road and ate a few green apples. As a result, the delay was delayed and overtaken by the athletes behind. In the end, only fourth place was obtained.
