In the Men's Singles 32-16 competition of the Tokyo Olympic Table Tennis Championships the day before yesterday, Jeong Young-sik, a brother in the Korean table tennis world, met the Greek 32-year-old veteran Geonis, and the Greek cutter's style of play made Jung Young-sik quite uncomfortable. He trailed 3-1 in the first four innings and was led 10-4 in the fifth set to get the match point. However, since then, Jung Young-sik is like a hanging, not only in the 5th set of magical reversal, but also won the next two sets in succession, the total score of 4-3 reverse promotion.
Perhaps it was the sight of victory flying that made Camilis, the announcer of the Greek state broadcaster Ert TV, who explained the match, so angry that he said in a live tv situation: "I don't understand how he (Jung Young-sik) can see ping-pong balls coming and going with his small eyes." ”
Such remarks are no different from the racial discrimination of Westerners against East Asians, and Jung Young-sik, as a male player with a high appearance in the Korean table tennis arena, is not a small eye, and Kamilis is not only racist, but also a rather naked personal attack. After the video was reprinted in Greece, it caused a huge controversy on the local social platform (SNS), and many people were denouncing Camilis's inappropriate remarks. After sparking the controversy, Ert TV issued a statement a few hours later, saying, "In public programs, racist rhetoric has no place, and the cooperation with Camillis ends today!" ”
It is worth mentioning that in fact, the discrimination against other countries has also been done by South Korea's MBC TELEVISION, which has also suffered a lot of criticism in the opening ceremony athlete admission link, which contains the turbulent situation of the Ukrainian nuclear power plant, Haiti and Syria. Their actions, like those of the incompetent Greek anchor, are an act of tarnishing the sacred Olympics.
In addition, on the second day of the men's singles competition at the Tokyo Olympics, in the quarterfinals, Jung Young-sik has been won 4-0 by China's Fan Zhendong, and the South Korean men's singles player has been completely destroyed in the Olympic men's singles competition.
