SEOUL, Jan. 11 (Xinhua) -- South Korean ice sports have been exposed to scandals, and South Korean speed skater Kim Bao Rin said on the 11th that he was bullied by his teammates in the team.
According to South Korean media reports, in the speed skating women's team chase at the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics last year, South Korean team member Lu Shanying was far behind Kim Bo Rin and another teammate, while Kim Bao Rin blamed the team's poor performance on Lu Shanying's too much behind in the post-match interview, which subsequently triggered the controversy that Lu Shanying was "isolated" by Kim Bo Rin and other teammates.
However, Jin Bao Rin said in an interview with the media on the 11th that from entering the national team in 2010 to the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, she was bullied by veteran national team member Lu Shanying, "The senior of the national team, Lu Shanying, often hindered my training and spoke ill of me."
After last year's team chase, Kam became the "target of all", with hundreds of thousands of people in South Korea signing to disqualify her as a member of the national team. As a result, the Ministry of Culture and Sports of the Republic of Korea conducted a special inspection of the Korean Ice Competition League. The Ministry of Culture and Sports finally concluded that "there was no deliberate isolation" based on the statements of the parties and other players, as well as the analysis of the situation before and after the competition.
This is the south Korean ice project after the short track speed skating star Shen Shixi accused former national team coach Zhao Zaifan of sexual assault, and the South Korean ice project was exposed again.
Some South Korean media believe that this is related to the overall performance supremacy of the Korean sports industry and the internal power relations of ice sports. A former coach of the South Korean short track speed skating team said that the concentration of power in ice sports in the hands of a group of people prevents victims from exposing their evil deeds and triggering various vicious circles.
