Beijing five roundsandSki jumpParticipated in a mixed team and was disqualified for violating suit regulationsSara Takanashi.. The ripples are spreading as the Japanese team has stated that it will not protest right now.
On the day of the competition, he showed a big jump of 103 meters, but the first jump was disqualified due to a violation of the suit regulations in the subsequent unannounced inspection. He said that the size around his thighs was 2 cm over the regulation. While Takanashi cried, she was held by the staff and returned to her waiting room.
“On this day, Takanashi was not the only one who was disqualified for violating the suit regulations. Female athletes from 5 out of 10 participating countries were disqualified. There are also testimonies such as “No.”
The inspection managers have argued in the media that “the procedure has not changed,” but as a “suspicious judge,” there is a flood of calls from various countries for explanation. “(Sports magazine writer)
As the turmoil grew, Japan began to respond. According to Tomoharu Saito, Managing Director of the Ski Association of Japan, the Ski Association of Japan will compile and submit in writing some “suggestions” regarding inspection methods rather than “protests” to the International Ski Association.
At a press conference by the Japan at the Olympics headquarters held on February 13, Hidehito Ito said, “At this point, it is important to give top priority to the care of athletes and staff and focus on this tournament.” I will not protest once morest it. Through various discussions through the Ski Federation … I will not protest the International Federation, but there is a possibility that I will seek improvement. “
However, SNS is full of moody voices, saying that such a response does not seem to reveal the details of the day.
《Mental care is our top priority, and that’s exactly what it is. But isn’t it just as important to make a clear statement if it’s clearly wrong? 》
《How long will you go on the principle? I have to say that something strange is strange. That’s why Japan is licked >>
《Care for athletes is a matter of course, and I’m not convinced that I don’t protest firmly that something is wrong. Show your spirit to protect the players who came at the risk of their lives.
After the competition, Takanashi wrote on his Instagram that “it is an unchanging fact that my disqualification has changed everyone’s life.”
Currently, he is in Europe for the next World Cup, and according to Masahiko Harada, “I was really encouraged by the team and the people,” but I’m really excited.
I just hope that this turmoil will be settled in a direction that everyone can agree on.
