Verification Beijing Olympics: Olympics that are "faster, higher and stronger" are exposed to the Olympics | nippon.com

A series of mysterious judgments

Ski Jump Women's Sara Takanashi was disqualified after flying in the first mixed group's final, and the thighs of the jumpsuit were only 2 cm larger.In order to extend her flight distance, players and staff are repeating trial and error in consideration of buoyancy and lift.Creating a suit at the last minute is one of the technologies.On the other hand, there is a detailed and strict rule to prevent fraud and maintain the fairness of the competition.

The inspection of the jumpsuit is performed to everyone before the competition, and after the competition, it is performed without the competition.In mixed organizations, five players in four countries, including Takanashi, were violated, but the test method was different from usual, such as taking off the spats worn under the suit.The Japanese team has submitted an opinion on how to inspect it to the International Ski Federation, but it is unclear why this happened.

In the first round of the Snowboard Women's Parallel Great Rotation, he was disqualified that Chika Takeuchi, a veteran in the sixth consecutive tournament, hindered German players who were running together.The two players fell at a similar point and seemed to have no contact in the image played on the TV, but Takeuchi, who scored earlier, was disqualified and was treated as "abstinent right", and was defeated.

"Six out of eight (referee) are Germans, so I thought it was no chance anymore. I feel what a sportsmanship is, but I think this is also the unique power of the Olympics."That's Takeuchi's comment.

It is not only from the loser that the dissatisfaction was raised.

Ayumu Hirano, who won a gold medal with a snowboard men's half pipe, twisted his head in his second scoring.He said, "Where were you looking at the judge's criterion?" And said, "The people who are in the competition have risks and take risks.Isn't that good? "

Hirano succeeded in the second time "Triple Cork 1440", but only 91.75 scored.He performed the same configuration in the third time, succeeded in the same great skill again, and won the reversal with a high score of 96.00.What Hirano said after the championship was the question, "What was the second and third differences?"

There was a confusion about the judgment during overseas groups.In the short truck men's 1000 -meter semifinals, two Korean players were disqualified one after another due to lane changes, and Chinese players advanced to the finals.In the finals, Hungarian players in the first place were fouled, and China won the gold and silver medals by China.

A short truck with a lot of contacts has a foul.However, the Korean players, who are not convinced, have announced that they will sue the Sports Arbitration Court.South Korea's main newspaper editorial published comments on accusations in the judgment of China, such as "creating a performance in Xi Jinping."On the net, videos of the game and angry voices were posted and spread.

Can you supplement the ambiguity of human eyes with a machine?

Many top -level sports use video judgments.This is to make up for the subjective eyes of the referee with a machine.Soccer includes a system called "Video Assistant Referee (VAR)", and a "goal line technology" that determines whether the score has been scored with multiple cameras and balls with chips.

In baseball, in recent years, not only in the US Major League but also in Japanese professional baseball has been introduced, and there has been no longer a brawl over the judgment of the past.Even in tennis, the balls that are difficult to visit the line and out of the out of the line are used by the "Challenge" from the players to determine the computer graphic image.

The common thing about these systems is that many fans are watching their play through television and the Internet.For international professional sports, people around the world are watching the game.Then, if there is a scene that is doubtful, post it to the Internet exchange service (SNS), and the objection to the judgment spreads.The Olympics are in the vortex of such times.

However, it is not the case that the machine can supplement all the ambiguity of human visual visual visual visual visuals.

At 500 meters of speed skating men, mysterious flying continued in the last two sets of Shigewaki Mori and Takaya Nihama.If you can't stop your body at the start, the referee's pistol will shine, but it doesn't seem to be moving even if you review the video.However, it is believed that it was detected by a high -performance camera and judged as a flying.

From this tournament, one image tracking camera has been installed in each lane, and the movement of players and skating shoes before the start is confirmed.However, in this race, the video that the players were moving after the pistol glowed appeared on the Internet, which became a hot topic as "flying judgment of suspicion."

There was a trouble over the machine in curling.A small lamp that determines whether the stone (stone) was thrown correctly is embedded on both sides of the handle on the upper stone.It is necessary to let go of the handle by the hog line, which is about 10 meters pulled from the foot of the foot, and when thrown correctly, the green lights up.However, if you pass through the line and throw it, it will have a red lamp.If there is a violation, the throw will be invalid.

In this tournament, the ramp sensor did not work, and there were many cases where players call for referees.In the past, the referee was visually determined.If the competition is confused because of the introduction of high -tech equipment, it is a fall.The method of entrusting the final decision to the machine is not perfect.

The Olympics's ugly Russian doping problem

Speaking of fraud in sports, doping is nothing but a problem in this tournament that pokes the specified "blind spot".

The Russian Olympic Committee (ROC), who is the hottest for figure skating girls, can participate over the Doping violation of Camilla Warierwa.It was after the ROC won the Olympic group in the Russian championship in late December last year as "positive."A prohibited drug "trimetajin" used for treatment of heart disease was detected.

The Russian anti -doping agency (RUSADA) once imposed the suspension of qualifications, but immediately received the disposition and acknowledged the continuation of his participation.As a result, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the World Anti -Doping Organization (WADA) have sued the Sports Arbitration Court (CAS).

However, in the World anti -doping rules, competitors under the age of 16 are considered "guards", and disposal is required to take flexible response.The suspension of qualifications is at most two years, and the lightest disposal is only to be done.In consideration of this, CAS ruled that Wariewa's continuation of participation was appropriate.

But even if you are 15, Warierwa is one of the world's best skaters.There are many coaches, team doctors, and staff around him.The point must be clearly elucidated why the prohibited drug has entered the body.

Due to the mental upset, Warierwa, who participated in the individual event, collapsed and ranked fourth.Immediately after the free performance, coach Etelli Tutberise was close to saying, "Why did you give up on the way? Explain the reason."In addition, ROC's 17 -year -old, Alexandra Tursova, who finished second, said, "Everyone has a gold medal. I'm the only one. I hate figure skating. I won't go up on ice again."rice field.It was a symbolic scene that attached to her only winning and exposing the ugliness of the Olympics, which lacked humanity.

Eventually, the award ceremony of the organization that Wariewa won and ROC won was not held during the tournament.The Olympics closed without the medal confirmed, as the survey of doping continued.

In figure skating, the aging of competitors is a problem.There are great concerns about burning syndrome and injuries.The International Skating Federation is considering raising the age limit of the Olympics and the World Championships from the current 15 years (as of July 1 before the season).

Victory supremacy that demands "outstanding" at the root

At the root of the troubles that are continuously in the tournament, there is a victory supremacy that keeps seeking outstanding.Behind it is nationalism and commercialism.Media reports that are impressed by medal struggle and the expectations of the people, the flames of SNS, and the pressure on players ...Even if the rules are determined in detail, the machine is introduced to the judgment, and the doping test is strictly difficult, it is difficult to keep the fairness of sports if the spirit of fair play is lacking.

Suspicions have begun to occur in the safety of the players.Especially in the winter Olympics, there are many acrobatic competitions.The snow wall set for the half pipe is 7.2 meters high.The top player jumps more than 5 meters from the pipe to fire big air.It is about 12 meters high, and it is equivalent to the fourth floor above the ground.However, it does not seem to be sufficiently considered about the danger of falling and falling.

The limits can be seen through the sophistication of the competition level.In the figure skating, Yuzuru Hanyu challenged the four -and -a -half rotation jump many times, but eventually was not successful.It is worth the Athlete like Hanyu, to challenge the first technique in history.However, if someone succeeds in the future, will some players jump next to five turns?Was figure skating a sport competing for jumping rotation in the first place?

The IOC has begun to add the word "Together" after "faster, higher and stronger" from the Tokyo Olympics last summer.Although it is conscious of the harmony of people, it can be said that the conventional motto has caused distortions.It is time for people around the world to re -question what the Olympics should be.
