How to treat Korean athletes wiping the podium?

The behavior of Korean athletes wiping the podium, I think in such an international competition, this behavior is not only disrespectful to athletes competing in the same field, but also petty, unable to afford to lose or win, and also a shame to their own country.

In the men's 500-meter final of speed skating in Beijing Winter Olympics, South Korea's Che Yunkui was 0.07 seconds behind and finally won the silver medal. At the award ceremony after the game, Che Yunkui wiped a podium before taking the stage. This move has aroused the attention and discussion of a large number of netizens. Personally, I think this kind of behavior is also a bit sensational.

1. This behavior of Korean athletes wiping the podium was seen in Canada as early as 20 18 PyeongChang Winter Olympics. In the men's 5000-meter short track speed skating relay race, South Korea obviously fouled, but the referee turned a blind eye. Such "means", South Korea won the championship successfully, and Canada won the bronze medal. At the award ceremony, Canada collectively wiped the podium. Four Canadian players collectively made a "mud-plastering" action, which means cleaning up the dirty podium, and the significance is self-evident.

By imitating the operation of the Canadian team, Korean athletes felt a little like shooting themselves in the foot, indirectly acknowledging the unfairness of the game at that time.

Second, Korean athletes wiped the podium, although I also responded to this, saying that this action was aimed at Russian athletes, not dissatisfaction with the Beijing Winter Olympics. However, this explanation he made cannot be justified. Speed skating is different from short track speed skating, and it is almost impossible for athletes to have physical contact, so this achievement is entirely based on personal real strength. He made this move for no reason at that time, which can only be considered as insufficient strength and grandstanding.

Third, the Olympic spirit embodies the spirit of "mutual understanding, friendship, unity and fair competition", conveys sports values that transcend nationality, country, race, religion and gender, and emphasizes tolerance for different cultures and respect for different people. I think it has violated the spirit of fair competition and friendship and unity to make some small moves on the field like the Korean team. Moreover, athletes also represent the image of their own country, and every subtle movement represents the pattern and image of the country. Korean athletes wiping the podium will only become the laughing stock of the whole world.

Of course, as an antagonistic sport, there may indeed be controversial penalties, but this time South Korean player Che Yukui's move is naked grandstanding. In contrast, China teenager Su won the silver medal in the men's snowboarding slope obstacle course. Although history has been made, the Canadian referee seems to have scored. In the face of such controversy, Sue is very calm. He responded: "I am very happy to get this score, and I am honored to be on the podium with the great gods." This is the pattern!
