Tokyo Olympic taekwondo bronze medalist Luo Jialing was dubbed a national girlfriend because of her sweet appearance. Recently, she went to the United States to compete in the 57kg weight class at the Open, but was disqualified for weighing 0.1kg.In this regard, coach Liu CongdaFacebookThe post said that she cut off her hair and still mightn’t meet the standard, “I have not fulfilled my responsibility to supervise good players.”
Liu Congda said, “I’m sorry to report a piece of news to everyone. Jia Ling failed to complete the weigh-in at the U.S. Open with a 0.1-kilogram difference. The time is from 10 to 12 o’clock in the morning. “I went to the weighing site following 8 o’clock in the morning to see that the line was full of players. I asked Jialing to report the weight following 7 o’clock in the morning. She said there was still 0.3, so I said to go for a run, and she also I went to run, but she didn’t run when there were 0.2 left. She should have thought that she might pass with naked weights, but it was already 11:45 when she was in the queue. After she went in, the referee told her that she might not have naked weights , she mightn’t even take off her underwear and shorts, so she cut off her hair on the spot, but it was only 0.1 to the referee and the weighing time was up, so she left.”
Liu Congda said, “No matter what we spent the country’s money on, we did not lose weight. We shouldn’t have lost weight. Jialing was lucky and didn’t drop any more. I wanted to say that I might lose weight just like in China, but I I didn’t fulfill the responsibility of supervising the players, no matter what, the coach must be responsible, if the players have problems, the coach will be responsible, and will review the report following returning.”
Liu Congda pointed out, “There are two Opens in the Netherlands and Belgium behind Jia Ling. I hope she can learn from her lessons and work hard in the next two games. I also hope that other Chinese Taipei players will perform well in the US Open. I am really sorry. Everyone.”
