In this Sudirman Cup, Wang He and Huang Dongping, the Olympic champions, led the battle. Previously, they had just won the Tokyo Olympic Games and the National Games, and their strength was very strong. In the mixed doubles knockout, Wang/Huang Dongping beat Thailand 3-2 and won the first place in the group. According to this rhythm, their successful summit gives China a great chance to defend its title again.
However, it is incredible that such a famous world-famous organizing Committee should have got the nationality wrong. I don't know whether it is intentional or unintentional. According to the rules of the competition, athletes will be introduced before the competition. When Wang/Huang Dongping of China appeared on the stage, the words "KOERA" were actually marked under their names on the big screen, and it was against the background of the national flag of China. If you don't know the athletes, at least you should know the national flag. This mistake is really inappropriate and outrageous.
What is even more infuriating is that so far, the Finnish Organizing Committee, the venue of Sudirman Cup, has not apologized for this matter, and its attitude is indifferent, completely unaware of its wrong behavior, which is very shameful. In any case, this has constituted a serious work mistake and hurt the team athletes, so we should have an attitude. Unfortunately, the organizing Committee chose silence.
It seems that China's players can only fight back with a tough attitude. In the previous 16 Sudirman Cup, China won 1 1 times (1 four consecutive championships, 1 six consecutive championships), South Korea won four times and Indonesia won 1 times. In this game, China seems to have an absolute advantage.
Looking back at foreign sports venues, there are really many oolong incidents. Earlier, it was reported that Belarusian violetta won the first prize in the women's triple jump awarding ceremony of the European Youth Athletics Championships, but the national anthem was misplaced when the national flag was raised, which made violetta very angry and angrily walked off the podium to express his dissatisfaction. Earlier, Sun Yang, China, also suffered a flag drop. It can only be said that the organizing committees in some countries were too careless and made mistakes in such a serious matter.
