Hello everyone, I am Crackle, a melon-eating girl who runs to the front line of the melon field.
Last night's men's gymnastics all-around final was in vogue.
Japan's Daiki Hashimoto made a serious mistake on the ground, one foot out of the mat, but was only deducted 0.1 points.
And China's Xiao Ruoteng, just because he did not salute the referee, was deducted 0.3 points.
In the end, Xiao Ruoteng defeated Hashimoto Daiki with a gap of 0.4 points and regretted winning the silver medal.
Such a result does make many people feel a little uneasy.
Many gymnasts can't help but express their support for Xiao Ruoteng on the Internet.
Li Xiaopeng said: "It's not that I can't understand it, it's that I understand it too well." ”
Zou Kai also sent a series of vomiting expressions to show his anger.
Chen Yibing even said: "Xiao Ruoteng is the champion. ”
For Xiao Ruoteng's encounter this time, the athlete who felt the most deeply was probably Chen Yibing.
01
In 1984, Chen Yibing was born in Tianjin to an ordinary family.
Because his father loved the sport of skating, he also won the first place in the Tianjin Vocational Amateur Speed Skating Competition, plus Chen Yibing was born in the winter, so he gave him the name "Yi Ice".
Chen Yibing was a premature baby, weighing only four pounds and two pounds when he was born, and he was often sick when he was a child.
In order to exercise his body, his parents sent the 5-year-old to the gymnastics gym to study.
At that time, no one expected that this thin little boy would become a gymnastics world champion athlete in the future.
Unlike many gymnasts who entered the national team at a young age, Chen Yibing is a typical late-forming player.
In 1994, at the age of ten, Chen Yibing entered the Tianjin professional gymnastics team, but until 2000, he did not achieve a satisfactory result.
You must know that Li Xiaopeng, who was about the same age as him, had already won the Olympic championship at that time.
Fortunately, Chen Yibing finally waited for an opportunity in 2001 to enter the national team as a substitute trainer.
But life in the national team is not so good, he is a substitute trainer, although he enjoys the training conditions of the national team, but there is no official quota.
Because he is not a regular team member, Chen Yibing is not qualified to introduce himself, there is no name on the dormitory name plate, and he does not even have the right to receive the team uniform.
The national team players in his group are basically fourteen or fifteen-year-old children, and Chen Yibing is the only player promoted by the Tianjin team, and basically no one will take the initiative to chat with Chen Yibing.
As a result, at the age of 17, he felt lonely and inferior all the time.
At the strongest time of this feeling, Chen Yibing will also call his parents and tell them that he does not want to stay in the national team and wants to return to the Tianjin team.
But his parents told him: "You have to stick to it, cherish the opportunity, there are many good athletes who don't have such a good opportunity as you." ”
With the encouragement of his parents, Chen Yibing made up his mind to become the hardest athlete in the national team.
So he began to train harder, entering the training room an hour earlier than others, and coming out an hour later than others.
When the coach is there, he follows the coach's requirements to practice, and when he is not there, he practices his strength alone.
Fortunately, all his efforts were rewarded.
02
In 2006, the 22-year-old Chen Yibing finally won the gold medal in the ring at the World Championships, and successfully defended the honor in 2007, becoming the deserved ring king.
In 2008, Chen Yibing stood on the Olympic field for the first time.
That year, Chen Yibing performed well, winning two gold medals in the men's gymnastics team and the ring single event.
In 2012, Chen Yibing led the team to the London Olympic Games, he still performed quite perfectly, and finally the Chinese team successfully reversed with a score of 275.997 and won the Olympic men's gymnastics team championship.
All the audience also felt that Chen Yibing, who was in good shape, was likely to continue to win the championship of the ring alone.
In the game, Chen Yibing, who played first, completed all the actions almost perfectly, and finally landed steadily.
Then the Brazilian player who came on the field took a small step with his right foot when he landed.
Because of the obvious mistakes of the Brazilian team, at this time, the coach and Chen Yibing also felt that this gold medal should be in hand.
However, the results came out to surprise people, Chen Yibing was actually 0.1 points lower than him.
Hearing this result, Chen Yibing's mind was blank at the time, and he could only mechanically hug forward and bless the Brazilian player who won the championship.
The coach also commented on the game to the media: "It was the darkest day in the history of gymnastics. ”
It wasn't until the next day, when Chen Yibing saw his teammates in the audience get the gold medal and put on the national flag, that his tears finally couldn't stop gushing out.
He was so aggrieved, because he could have stood on the podium, put on the flag, and proudly raised his head to tell the world that he was the champion.
But unfortunately, this opportunity was taken away.
In this way, Chen Yibing announced his retirement in 2013, ending his career.

Like Chen Yibing and Xiao Ruoteng, there is more than one athlete whose dreams are stolen by the referee. In the women's 4×100 relay event at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, China ranked eighth in the preliminaries, reaching the final after 16 years.
Unexpectedly, in the game, a team player who was eliminated because he accidentally did not catch the bat submitted an appeal.
They said they dropped the bat because a Brazilian competitor bumped into them and demanded a replay.
What is even more confusing is that such an outrageous appeal was passed, the Brazilian team was canceled, and they were given another chance to run.
Therefore, without any interference, they competed alone on the field, squeezing the Chinese team, which was originally ranked eighth, out of the final.
Subsequently, the two appeals of the Chinese team were dismissed.
Also at the Rio Olympics, in a boxing match, China's Lu Bin performed well, with the upper hand throughout the whole process, forcing his opponent to the sideline many times, and even beating his opponent to the second reading.
In the end, he was ready to celebrate, but the referee actually raised his opponent's hand and announced that the opponent was the winning party. All the spectators said it was clear that the Chinese players deserved to win.
But so what?
The result was decided, and Lu Bin could only kiss the boxing ring in the end and left the olympic arena.
The 2002 World Cup in Japan and South Korea was directly called the darkest World Cup by many fans.
In the quarter-finals of South Korea against Italy, the referees of several fouls of the South Korean team turned a blind eye, and their reckless fouls caused the Italian players to break their heads and bleed.
Italian star Totti was brought down in the penalty area by the South Korean player with a clear foul move, and instead of being awarded a penalty, Totti was sentenced to fake a fall.
The South Korean team, which reached the quarterfinals, is still being taken care of by the referee.
In the match against Spain, Spain's two goals without obvious offside were invalidated by the referee.
This also caused the Spanish team to have a big mental breakdown, and they were eliminated in the penalty shootout.
South Korea, on the other hand, achieved the best result in the final four for the first time in national history.
After struggling for a whole youth, but finally losing the right to realize dreams because of unwarranted external factors, who can compensate for such regrets?
Although now Chen Yibing is already indifferent enough when talking about this matter-
"Now I can turn it over because I have more recognition from everyone."
But every time he flipped out his silver medal, he still felt unwilling.
For athletes, the most exciting moment is the moment of standing on the podium, and Chen Yibing has lost that sense of ceremony -
"When the INTERNATIONAL SPORTS FEDERATION gives me that ceremony, maybe I won't regret it."
Having said that, Chen Yibing has not stopped his pace of progress.
After retiring from the army, he first served as the director of the Tianjin Gymnastics Center, and then chose to withdraw from the system and establish his own sports brand.
Subsequently, he began to participate in public welfare projects and established his own foundation, hoping to bring the concept of healthy sports to every corner of China.
Will fire conclusion -
Although the referee stole the gold medal that originally belonged to Chen Yibing, he won the championship of life with his own actions.
In life, we always have to face all kinds of unfair things and phenomena.
The athletes used their best youth and physical health to exchange for a chance to realize their dreams, but in the end they missed the gold medal because of an unjust sentence.
Who can resist not fighting for them?
Of course, we can be angry and upset about these things, but we can't get stuck in the quagmire of lost emotions.
Since this time is not ok, then we will do better next time, if this road does not work, then we can also try to open our minds to another track, maybe we can see a more open scenery.
But at the same time, I also desperately hope that the world can give justice to athletes and give sports a pure land.
They can lose to strong opponents, but they should never be defeated by the referee.
