Ping-pong rivers and lakes behind the flash
Loading...
In a table tennis match, a small flash caused quite a stir. This time, the protagonist of the incident is Fan Zhendong and his "flash door". During the match, Fan Zhendong signaled to the sidelines to turn off the flash, and the host country's F Lebrun also agreed. Netizens have said that "Little Fat" Fan Zhendong is maintaining the order of the arena and is worthy of the responsibility of national table tennis. However, there are also some voices who question whether this behavior is a bit excessive.
Fan Zhendong signaled to turn off the flash during the game, and there is actually an intriguing story behind it. As the competition rages, the athletes on stage are engrossed, while the audience and media hold up their phones and cameras, trying to capture every wonderful moment. In such an atmosphere, a flash of light suddenly appeared like a "Thor's hammer", directly smashing into the focused Fan Zhendong. This flash disrupted the rhythm of his batting that he had just brewed, and he was instantly distracted. So, Fan Zhendong took the opportunity to point in the direction of the flash and signaled the photographers to quickly turn off the fire, which led to the "friendly seconding" of F Lebrun.
On the table tennis table, concentration is the key to winning the game. The presence of flashing lights can not only cause distraction for athletes, but may even affect their line of sight. This sudden distraction, like an untimely concert, played discordant notes in a tranquil arena. Netizens joked on social media, "This flash is too unfamiliar, and you still want to compete with Dong Ge for the C position?" Some netizens humorously said, "Shouldn't we send a 'photo guide' to each audience?" Flash is prohibited when filming performances and events, so please recite it silently three times in your mind. ”
Wang Chuqin's racket collided with an unscrupulous reporter
When it comes to table tennis events, it is impossible not to mention Wang Chuqin's "racket incident". At the Olympic Games, Wang Chuqin suffered a broken racket due to the negligence of a photographer. At that time, the game was at a critical moment, and Wang Chuqin was preparing a strong smash, and at the moment when he was accumulating, the photographer accidentally stepped on his racket. As a result, the racket broke in response, and Wang Chuqin instantly lost a great opportunity. At this time, the audience exclaimed, and netizens exploded even more, feeling sorry for Wang Chuqin, saying, "This photographer is definitely here to 'smash the scene'."
The incident sparked a wide discussion about the professionalism of photojournalists. Photojournalists in sporting events need to have a high level of work ethic and keen observation skills to not only capture the moment, but also to be mindful of not impacting the athletes. In Wang's case, however, some photographers seem to have forgotten all this, focusing only on their own lenses and ignoring the safety of the athletes. This incident is not only a blow to Wang Chuqin, but also makes people reflect on the role of the media in sports events.
Some netizens joked, "The photographer stepped on the racket, is this a modern version of 'Jin Yong's martial arts'?" Really · to shoot friends, racket unpredictable! Another netizen said, "It seems that these unscrupulous reporters not only have to consciously turn off their flashlights, but may also need to report a 'sports field safety class'." Conspiracy theories have been put forward, suspecting that these photographers are "undercover agents" sent by opponents to hinder the progress of Chinese players. Although these remarks are obviously joking in nature, they also reflect the strong dissatisfaction with such irresponsible behavior.
Flash vs. Ping Pong: A Battle of Light and Shadow
Behind these events is a kind of cultural collision and thinking. Table tennis is a sport that requires a high degree of concentration and precise judgment, and any slight interference may cause players to lose their advantage. And this time, the double blow of "unscrupulous media" and "flashing lights" has become a big problem for athletes. The encounter between Fan Zhendong and Wang Chuqin made netizens call on relevant departments to strengthen management, and proposed to conduct necessary filming training for the audience and the media before the game.
Many netizens jokingly wrote on social platforms: "Look, Chubby is so polite, he gestures with his hands, if this is a basketball game, the referee may have blown the whistle!" Some people teased, "In these years, photographers who don't know table tennis are really not good, they didn't take good photos, but they were 'named' by Brother Dong." ”
In this context, F Lebrun's "friendly seconding" as the host player has also been interpreted by netizens as a symbol of friendship across borders. After all, sports know no borders, and the impact of flashing lights knows no nationality. And this understanding and support for each other made many people sigh: "The France lad is really good, for the quality of everyone's game, he is willing to let the media 'shut up'." ”
Who will escort the athletes?
In table tennis, it's not just the flashing lights that cause trouble, but all kinds of accidents during the game can affect the players. This begs the question, should athletes have better protection mechanisms during competition?
At the competition site, the cheering of the spectators, the frequent flashing of flashing lights, and various distractions in the field are all challenges that athletes need to overcome. Netizens quipped: "In such an environment, athletes are 'martial arts masters' with unique skills, not only to deal with opponents, but also to deal with the interference of these 'indiscriminate'." Another person said, "It seems that in the future, athletes will not only wear goggles, but also be equipped with 'anti-interference earplugs'." ”
Faced with these challenges, innovative solutions have been proposed, such as installing "flash detectors" in the arena that automatically trigger an alarm to alert photographers to turn off the flash when a flash is detected. It has also been suggested that a separate area should be set up for photojournalists to ensure they do not interfere with the competition. Although these proposals are imaginative, they also reflect the attention and concern of the athletes in the competition environment.
Some netizens jokingly said, "It seems that when you go to a table tennis match in the future, you must not only bring a good ticket, but also a copy of the 'Arena Rules', otherwise you may be 'deported'." Someone even humorously said, "Before the start of the competition, will there be a recording of 'please turn off the flash' on the scene, like a 'no piracy' advertisement in a movie theater?" ”
Alarm bells for the Olympic Games: Rules and Governance
In the aftermath of the Fan Zhendong and Wang Chuqin incidents, discussions about tournament management and media behavior have continued to heat up. This is not only a cautionary tale for Olympic events, but also a reminder of the professionalism that all parties involved should have in a major event. Whether it is a spectator or a reporter, while enjoying the game, we must also respect the dedication of the athletes.
The frequent use of flash not only affects the performance of athletes, but also has a negative impact on the atmosphere of the entire arena. Netizens said: "These media always want to seize the best moment, but sometimes they ignore the most basic politeness. Someone joked: "Do journalists think that athletes are all filmmakers and can endure the continuous 'spotlight'?" This is an exaggeration, but it points to the fact that respect is just as important as understanding in sports.
With the popularity of social media, more and more people are paying attention to these issues and expressing their opinions and suggestions through the Internet. Someone launched an initiative to "turn off the flashing lights and escort the athletes", calling on everyone to consciously abide by the rules during the competition. There are also proposals for stricter protection mechanisms for athletes to ensure that they can compete in the best possible environment.
In the ridicule of netizens, we can't help but reflect on whether these seemingly insignificant details really need our more attention? Perhaps, only when every participant can demand themselves with higher standards, every competition on the sports field can truly become a fair and just competition. As one netizen said, "What we want to see is a showdown of athletes' strength, not a performance under flashing lights." ”
Chubby's voice: It's time to get serious about the game
For Fan Zhendong, signaling to turn off the flash is not just a momentary reaction, but a sign of respect for the competition and the athletes. He reminds us that every game needs to be taken seriously, both by the spectators and the media.
