Pressed by the world, Mark Horton finally spoke!
"My position is firm, the cleanliness of athletes is above all else, no matter what country they come from, what sport they are engaged in." On the 28th, Horton said in an interview with the media.
In fact, after all the farces, it doesn't matter what the "Hortons" say anymore.
Last night, the 2019 FINA Swimming World Championships ended all competitions. With a score of 16 gold, 11 silver and 3 bronze, the Chinese team ranked first in the gold medal list, and tied with the Russian team for the second place in the medal table with 30 medals, which can be said to have handed over a perfect answer.
Looking back at this event, the famous Sun Yang lived up to the expectations of the public to win two golds, And Ye Shiwen won two silvers when he returned, and the Chinese team showed strong strength and competitive spirit as always.
However, in addition to the dazzling results of the Chinese team, there are also impressive farces directed and performed by some people.
First, Horton "led" on the podium refused to take a photo with champion Sun Yang, and implemented the "heart attack tactics" of relying on splashing dirty water to affect the game; then Scott and others, regardless of black and white, "have a kind of learning", stirring up the miasma of the swimming pool and the public opinion field.
Just as they shouted "clean pool", Australian player Sha Jack was exposed to test positive, and the "righteous men" almost collectively silenced, without the slightest indignation, and played the "double standard" handily.
In the face of the reporter's interview, Horton did not say a word
In the face of reporters' questions, Horton, who used to be "jealous and hateful", could only smile awkwardly and avoid the camera. I couldn't hide it from the time before I finally responded positively: "I am very disappointed, and I applaud the athletes in question that we immediately banned." My position is firm, the cleanliness of athletes is above all else, no matter what country they come from, what sport they are engaged in. ”
Not ashamed of the teammates' violations, but applauded the results of the delay in announcing the results of the processing; instead of reflecting on their words and deeds, they put gold on their faces with "firmness", and even the Australian domestic media said that "Australia has become the laughing stock of the world sports world".
The pool needs to be clean and innocent, and the public opinion field is not? However, some people are weak and unable to afford to lose, so they can only pull up the big banner as a tiger skin, and indiscriminately wield personal attacks in the name of justice. As everyone knows, the premise of strength improvement is to correct the mentality, which is as simple as staying away from the prohibition of drugs to restore the innocence of the arena.
In fact, the faces of the "Hortons" are swollen and swollen, and their hearts are not empty, and their hearts are clear. What we should pay more attention to is the encouragement and inspiration given to us by the Chinese athletes in this competition. Anger and depression will only make people with hearts more proud, and it is the posture of a strong person to speak with achievements and prove with time. Shining medals and outstanding achievements are always the best response to the "Hortons".
