In the 2020 Tokyo Olympics table tennis mixed doubles final, the Chinese team Xu Xin / Liu Shiwen lost 3-4 to the Japanese combination of Mizutani Hayabusa / Ito Mishimasa, winning the silver medal caused netizens to sigh. Coincidentally, Chinese shooter Wang Luyao issued a selfie after the defeat in the Women's 10m Air Rifle Preliminary Competition in Dong'ao, saying "Sorry, sorry, I admit that I instigated, see you in three years" caused an uproar in public opinion, and netizens praised and disparaged.
In the face of the loss of the Olympic gold medal event that has been pinned high hopes on by the Chinese people, should the athletes apologize to the public? In this regard, netizens have different views and voices.
On July 30, the second phase of 360 Express Information "No Spit No Fast" was launched, and this issue invited fencer and actor Dong Li. It is understood that this issue revolves around the current hot spots in the East Olympics, and the debate is set as "The Olympic gold medal project failed, should the athletes apologize to the public?" As soon as the debate came out, it triggered heated discussions among netizens and participated in voting activities, and 10 KOLs of the Red and Blue Teams made a big output of views.

As a sports event that has attracted worldwide attention, the Olympic Games have high expectations for sports events, making every athlete face unprecedented pressure. Athletes often attract applause from netizens after winning the gold medal, but the loss of the gold medal also makes netizens feel lost or dissatisfied.
It is generally believed that the state has invested a lot of manpower and material resources in athletes, the training process consumes a lot, athletes represent the country rather than individuals, and the Olympic Games are held every four years, carrying the expectations and high expectations of the country and society, which is not only a competition of ability but also a display and contest of international image, so the Olympic Games should apologize to the public for winning gold. Second, Olympic athletes are also public figures to some extent. Although compared with the entertainment industry artists and athletes appear less frequently, they are still active in the public eye from time to time, and apologies may only be a way to express attitudes.
"Victory or defeat is a common affair of soldiers, and is defeat not inevitable?" Since you can do your best, why do you have to apologize for the defeat? Some netizens believe that the Olympic flame is endless, and in addition to the competition of sports competition, the Olympic Games will also pass on the Olympic spirit from generation to generation, and the inheritance of the Olympic spirit is more important. From this point of view, the failure of Olympians to win gold is also a common sentiment of people, medal gains and losses are not very important, the key lies in conveying to the international community the spirit of Chinese athletes' indomitable and courageous struggle.
In addition, the old saying has a cloud "victory is not arrogant, not discouraged". The poor performance of Olympic athletes on the field is sometimes closely related to their own health factors or other subjective and objective factors, and excessive demand for athletes to collect gold is contrary to the Olympic spirit and inconsistent with the original intention of participation. As citizens of a big country, we should abandon the "gold medal theory" and look at the game with a more rational attitude.
As the host of this issue, Dong Li believes that winning the championship is indeed the core goal of all athletes, and it is not easy for people to stand on the Olympic field, and there are many hardships and efforts that ordinary people cannot see and feel behind them. There must be wins and losses, and it should be accepted that winning and losing is the norm in the arena. Most importantly, whether it is gold medals, silver medals, bronze medals, every medal won by the Chinese team is clean! All to be proud of!
In fact, instead of saying , " Should athletes apologize to the public rather than " lose the Olympic gold medal " . "It is a debate, but it is better to see it as a fierce collision of netizens' thinking, in this thinking confrontation, we can see the netizens' concern for each Olympic competition and the concern of each participating athlete, behind which is the enduring national feelings."
