Cha Min-kyu wiped the podium before receiving the award, the International Skating Federation responded: does not deserve to have a name

February 12, South Korean athlete Cha Min-kyu in the 500-meter race on the silver medal podium before the podium, but suddenly stooped down, posing "wipe" podium action. To know, so many years of the Winter Olympics, there is not an athlete has such abnormal behavior. This action in the outside world has caused a lot of controversy, many people think, Che Min-kyu in this behavior mapping the International Skating Union unfair penalty, that the podium "not clean".

Coupled with the fact that the South Korean team has repeatedly speculated about the unfairness of the penalty. However, the video clearly recorded the South Korean athletes in the end there is no foul. But even in front of the video, the South Korean team still does not recognize the athletes foul action, which also caused the International Skating Union's dissatisfaction. It can be said, "new hatred old debt", the International Skating Union completely angry. In the ins release of the award-winning photo, directly removed the name of the Korean team members Cha Min-kyu, and explained that: do not respect the sports, do not deserve to have a name.

Although in the aftermath, Cha Min-kyu came out of all kinds of defense, trying to call his abnormal behavior "too much respect for the medal", so will intentionally wipe the podium. But no one except Koreans will believe such a weak explanation. I have to say, South Korea in the Winter Olympics this year, "demon" really some out of the ordinary.

Although, South Korea wants to "win face" in the Winter Olympics. But it is not so in order to compromise the responsibility of losing the game, have to black into white, the responsibility for the loss of the Winter Olympics will be shifted to the unfairness of the penalty, which is really some small family.

Between the South Korean team's poor performance in the Winter Olympics this year, I'm afraid it has also caused dissatisfaction in other Winter Olympics host countries. In particular, the 2026 Milan-Cortina Dampedzo Winter Olympics in Italy, the South Korean team is afraid that there is no shortage of anger again. It should be noted that the Italian team and the Korean team are "old enemies". If the Korean team continues to "demon", I believe the Italian Olympic Committee will not mind letting the Korean team understand how to respect the spirit of sports.
