[The gold medal was missed, and the people were angry]
The gold medal in hand is lost!
Such an accident caught every Chinese off guard, knowing that in the men's gymnastics team final, the first five rounds of the Chinese team's parallel bars events.
Xiao Ruoteng, Zhang Boheng and Zou Jingyuan played steadily and established a huge advantage for the Chinese team, leading Japan by 3.267 points.
With such a big advantage, it can be said that as long as there is no accident in the final horizontal bar event, the gold medal will be firmly in the hands of the mainland, and even the Weibo of Olympic champion Chen Yibing has opened champagne at half to celebrate.
Information sources:
The surging news - "Champagne at Half Time" was hotly searched, and former gymnastics Olympic champion Chen Yibing issued an apology
I was happy with such a good situation, and I also gave a professional opinion on why I was determined to win the championship.
It can be seen that the situation is very good, and the steady championship and gold medal are about to be in the bag, and the unexpected comes unexpectedly.
Su Weide has dropped the bar! Or two drop bars!
Such an accident shocked everyone, and such a major mistake could not have been imagined to happen in the Olympic Games.
In the end, what was even more unacceptable was that the duck to the beak flew, and the mainland men's gymnastics team competition lost to Japan by a narrow margin of 0.532 points and was the runner-up.
In this "Sino-Japanese war", the mainland actually lost unacceptably.
The people began to look for the reason, and there is no doubt that Su Weide has become the target of public criticism, and it can be said that in the end, as long as he misses one less bar, he can continue to let the mainland win the gold medal.
But he didn't, and he still dropped it twice, which caused irreparable losses, and the people's mood was difficult to calm down, and they began to fiercely accuse Su Weide.
At the same time, it also questioned the coaching staff who sent such athletes with major mistakes, accusing the coaching staff of improper arrangement.
In the face of such a major mistake, how should we evaluate, first of all, we should start from the facts, whether such a major mistake as Su Weide was intentional or this was his true strength.
Did the coaching staff choose the right person, and should Su Weide be used for the Olympics?
[Should I use Su Weide]
The behavior of dropping the bar twice in a row is familiar, and digging deep into Su Weide's past season, he found that this is already his "commonplace".
At the National Gymnastics Championships, Su Weide has already "first appeared" and dropped the bar once.
In June 2023, at the Asian Championships in Singapore, Su Weide made two consecutive mistakes on the bar, but fortunately he was still the champion in the end, and the Japan team ranked second.
At the 2023 World Gymnastics Championships, Su Weide still dropped twice in the horizontal bar event, resulting in the championship being handed over to Japan.
The same mistake was made in this Olympics, causing the champion to cheapen the Japan team again, how can such a continuous pit of teammates' mistakes be willing.
Some media people even said that Su Weide's news after the game can even be reposted at the same time and place as the previous press release.
Such a "stable" performance is enough to show that Su Weide himself is not good at strength, and this Olympic Games has not made any progress, and he has steadily dropped the bar twice.
This result also shows that the coaching staff is wrong in selecting people, and the criticism and accusations from the outside world are what they should bear.
Is there really no one available in the Chinese men's gymnastics team? In fact, there are still many athletes in the gymnastics team who can attend the Olympic Games to win glory for the country.
But why the coaching staff didn't use it, but chose Su Weide's "flaw" is thought-provoking, in short, the coaching staff must have some dereliction of duty.
After such a major "pit teammates" incident, how did the other athletes feel?
[Other members of the gymnastics team cry with regret]
In the competitive gymnastics men's team final attending the Olympic Games, the Chinese team delegation composed of Zou Jingyuan, Zhang Boheng, Liu Yang, Xiao Ruoteng and Su Weide.
Among them, Xiao Ruoteng is a veteran, he has won the men's pommel horse championship at the National Gymnastics Championships and the men's individual all-around championship at the 47th World Gymnastics Championships.
There are also the team champions of the 48th World Gymnastics Championships, the men's individual gymnastics all-around championship of the 14th National Games, etc., and almost all the championship awards in Xiao Ruoteng's gymnastics career.
The only thing missing is an Olympic champion, and if nothing else, this Paris Games should be Xiao Ruoteng's last, because he is 28 years old this year, almost past the age of a gymnast.
Originally, Xiao Ruoteng wanted to retire after the Tokyo Olympics, but this Olympic champion who could allow him to achieve a championship Grand Slam has always attracted him, made him persist until now, and even participated in the Paris Olympics with an injury.
is like this, it can be obtained, but it is missed, which makes Xiao Ruoteng unacceptable, and he cried after the game.
When asked by a reporter whether this result was acceptable, Xiao Ruoteng couldn't calm down for a long time, saying: "I can't accept it either, I'm very confused." ”
Information sources:
China Net-Xiao Ruoteng left the scene in tears: I can't accept it
He said, "I have mixed feelings, when I think of this result, I cry, I feel that life is always like this, it's very strange, I cry, maybe I feel that I didn't play well, I feel very regretful." ”
"You might say that in my last Olympics, I gave so much, I overcame injuries, and then I missed out on the gold medal, but that's always the way life goes."
His sadness is understandable, his generosity and open-mindedness are also distressing, and in the end, we will remember this athlete who has done a lot for China.
In addition, Zou Jingyuan also left unwilling tears after the game, saying: "I want the gold medal too much." ”
Yes, how many athletes have worked hard year after year for the Olympic Games every four years, and have survived day and night to win the gold medal of their dreams.
This mistake made the dream of a gold medal come to naught, and four years of hard work were burned, how could it not be uncomfortable?
Other people can't be calm for a long time in the face of this result, how many four years will the athletes have in the future, and will they be the ones who will play next time?
The uncertainty is too strong, which makes the loss of the gold medal this time particularly uncomfortable.
However, they did not make hysterical accusations, but chose to face it together after the game, forgave Su Weide's mistake together, and comforted and encouraged him.
After the game, everyone hugged each other, although their eyes were red, but they were still united and friendly, showing extraordinary tolerance.
Their tolerant minds deserve admiration and respect.
Finally, one should reflect on the problem and avoid repeating it next time.
[The coaching staff should be more rigorous]
Such a mistake is of course inseparable from the coaching staff, who should be more rigorous in selecting people in the future and take the attendance of the Olympic Games seriously.
More efforts should be made to select the right people in order to live up to the hard work of every team member and achieve good results.
I hope that the coaching staff can pass this accusation and work more rigorously in the future.
