There was a very controversial scene in the men's 1000m short track speed skating final of the 14th National Winter Games in 2024. Naturalized star Lin Xiaoqun was knocked down by Liu Shao'ang while ranking first in the last lap and missed the medal. In the end, Sun Long After winning the championship, Li Wenlong got the second place and Liu Shao'ang got the third place. After seeing this situation, many netizens questioned the unfairness of the referee. Even CCTV celebrities couldn't help but cry out for Lin Xiaojuan.
In this Winter Games, Lin Xiaochun represented the Heilongjiang team. However, in the previous games, Lin Xiaochun was suspected of being targeted by other teams. This directly led to Lin Xiaochun not even winning a gold medal in the previous games, so the men's 1000 meters This became Lin Xiaochun's only chance. A total of 5 people participated in the final, namely Lin Xiaojuan, Liu Shaoang, Sun Long, Li Wenlong and Ma Wei. After the start of the game, Lin Xiaoqun and Sun Long started a fierce battle. Sun Long rushed to the first place with 5 laps left, Lin Xiaoqun ranked second, and Liu Shaoang ranked third. The game came to the last two laps. , Lin Xiaojun started to exert his strength and rushed to the first place, Liu Shaoang rushed to the second place, and Sun Long fell to the third place. As long as Lin Xiaojun kept going, he could win the gold medal, but then something unexpected happened. When Liu Shao'ang overtook from the outer lane, he directly knocked down Lin Xiaoqun, and both of them fell off the track.
Sun Long seized the opportunity to cross the line first and won the gold medal. Lin Wenlong got the silver medal. Liu Shaoang got up quickly after falling and finished the game and won the bronze medal. Ma Wei was found guilty of a foul due to his pulling action when he crossed the line. Judging from the video playback, when Liu Shaoang overtook Lin Xiaoqun, he made a forward push movement with his hand. At the same time, Liu Shaoang's skate also touched Lin Xiaoqun's skate. However, the referee did not make a penalty for this from beginning to end, which directly caused the scene The audience was dissatisfied and once shouted a black whistle. If Lin Xiaojun was suspected of being targeted earlier, then it is difficult to explain the referee's inaction in this game. Let's not talk about whether Liu Shaoang intentionally hit Lin Xiaojun. When the two athletes collided, the referee should not have watched the video replay first. ? But judging from the situation at the scene, the referee did not watch the details of Liu Shaoang and Lin Xiaoqun falling off the track at all. This is also an important reason why the referee did not make a penalty. Because he did not watch at all, naturally there would be no penalty.
CCTV commentator Liu Xingyu also expressed his opinion after seeing this situation. Liu Xingyu said that the whole game did have some ups and downs, and the referee’s final penalty was indeed a bit surprising. In the end, there was no problem with Ma Wei’s foul penalty, but the previous contact I didn't see the replay of the collision, but judging from the game process, the collision should be very fierce, but the referee has his own perspective and cannot comment on this. Although Liu Xingyu didn't say it explicitly, you can still feel that he was insinuating that there was something wrong with the referee and that it was a bit unfair to Lin Xiaojun. He finally came to China from South Korea and was about to show off his talents, but he frequently encountered unexpected situations. I hope that domestic players The competitive environment can get better. This article is original by Xiao Lizi, please do not plagiarize or redistribute it.
