On August 7, Beijing time, a very embarrassing scene occurred after the tokyo Olympics men's single 10-meter platform award ceremony, and the bronze medalist and British star Daley pointed out in person that Yang Jian mistakenly took the championship mascot. But in fact, Cao Yuan had already found it on the podium, but in order not to embarrass his teammates, he did not point it out, and deliberately turned the front of the mascot in his direction to try to hide, but in the end he was pointed out by Daley.
It can be seen that Daley also deliberately asked Cao Yuan and Yang Jian to exchange the mascot back. Some netizens may ask, isn't the mascot the same? Why change it back? In fact, the mascots prepared at the Tokyo Olympics award ceremony are different, using the color of the eyes to distinguish between the first, second and third places. Previously, Cao Yuan participated in the men's double ten-meter platform competition and won the silver medal, in fact, he knew this difference.
From Cao Yuan's performance on the podium, it can also be seen that in fact, he found that Yang Jian had taken the wrong championship mascot that should have belonged to him, and he did not show the mascot in the direction of the camera like other medal winners, but turned in his own direction. As for why this was the case, Yang Jian seemed a little lost and unwilling after determining that he had no chance of winning the gold medal. Perhaps considering that the current mood of the teammates is not too appropriate to point out the wrong championship mascot, but I did not expect to be stabbed by Daley in front of the two in the end.
In fact, the level of the men's single ten-meter platform final at the Tokyo Olympics was really very high, and almost all three who won medals were at the best level. Especially Cao Yuan and Yang Jian, the two ended up with a difference of only 1.9 points. Considering that this is the first time Yang Jian has been so close to an Olympic gold medal, his loss and unwillingness are completely understandable.
