In the men's 400m freestyle final at the 2019 Gwangju Swimming World Championships in South Korea, Chinese swimming captain Sun Yang achieved a four-consecutive championship feat, but one thing that made Chinese sports fans eat a fly, that is, runner-up Australia's Horton blatantly refused to shake hands with Sun Yang for a photo, on the grounds that Sun Yang was a "liar".
For Horton's behavior, Chess Saint Nie Weiping really couldn't look at it, he angrily rebuked: "This Horton brain did not enter the water, he only qualified for the 400-meter freestyle competition at the World Championships by virtue of his privilege, and Sun Yang is not in the same grade." The competition is not as good as Sun Yang, framing Sun Yang in the name of falsehood, refusing to take a photo with Sun Yang at the award ceremony, too ungrandly! The most powerful way to fight back against this uncultured guy is to punch him in the face with his grades! ”
CCTV celebrity Han Qiaosheng, who is also a temperamental person, said that Horton's behavior is not a personal behavior: "Horton's refusal to go to the podium caused controversy, and after the game, Horton said that he had asked bronze medalist Italy's Deti to refuse to go on stage with him to accept the award, but was refused. This kind of behavior is by no means simple and naïve, there are forces behind him instigating, because our Sun Yang has won the championship, has moved the cake in the hereditary territory of Europeans and Americans, and all kinds of dramas before and after, this is a planned malicious premeditation! As for us, we must straighten our waists, resolutely support Sun Yang, and never let others slaughter again! ”
Han Qiaosheng also criticized the domestic media, arguing that they did not protect Sun Yang: "Why does Horton dare not be on the podium? Australian media full cooperation! As Sun Yang's defeated general, Australian celebrity Horton chose to fight in a variety of ways, and the escalation of this confrontation is completely supported by some Australian media and even larger backstages. Horton had been brewing a lot of rhetoric before the start of the game, and these media outlets had also added fuel to the fire. Among them, the Australian media "Herald Sun" is the vanguard, after the event of Horton's refusal to be on the podium after the game, the media quickly commented and wrote the title: Horton refused to share the stage with ____. Such an impact is spreading rapidly, the Chinese media? Why don't you make a sound? ”
The more Han Qiaosheng said, the more angry he became: "Now, watching FINA announce that "Sun Yang is not at fault", Horton has staged a drama of refusing to accept the award on the same stage with Sun Yang, and even encouraged the third runner-up not to come on stage, which is really Sun Yang's "black powder leader". And Sun Yang also used the performance strength inside and outside the field to interpret what is called "you can't get used to me, and you can't kill me." ”
