In the men's 1000m short track speed skating final of the Harbin Asian Winter Games that ended on February 9, Beijing time, Liu Shaoang won bronze. Another Chinese player, Sun Long, finished fifth because of a fall, and South Korea won the gold and silver medals.
There was also a controversial scene in the race, with two Chinese skaters leading the way after the opening. With 3 laps remaining, Sun Long was overtaken by South Korea's Nai Dao and swapped places with Liu Shaoang. When South Korea's Park Ji-won overtook Sun Long, he was suspected of having an additional action of pushing people in his hand.
This directly caused Sun Long to lose his center of gravity and fall, and Sun Long's fall also affected the skating of his teammate Liu Shaoang behind him, and finally Liu Shaoang won the bronze medal, while Sun Long only ranked 5th.
After the game, although the referee watched the video of the game, he did not punish Park Ji-won for a foul, and the referee determined that the physical contact was shared by Park Ji-won and Sun Long, so he did not make any judgment and maintained the original result.
Regarding the referee's controversial decision, many Chinese netizens left angry messages: "Park Ji-won doesn't blow this small action of pushing people? ”;“ The referee began to be clear, South Korea did not judge one of the two fouls, plus the black whistle in the semifinals, it was really outrageous that his home court was so black! "Why shared responsibility?" South Korean player Yuan Tui is so obvious! ”
There are also some netizens who said rationally: "This competition has exposed the lack of ability of the short track coaching team, there is no tactics at all, and there is no way to deal with the Korean short track cooperation, that is, it is a hard rush, and the physical fitness cannot keep up, and the whole team should really reflect on it after the Asian Winter Games!" ”
