　　Chinanews client, Beijing, August 8th (Reporter Xing Rui) On August 8, the Tokyo Olympics finally came to an end.

The rapidly changing medal list also ushered in the finale.

The US delegation ranked first in the number of gold medals and the total number of medals; the Chinese delegation ranked second in the medal list with a record of 38 golds, 32 silvers and 18 bronzes.

The American media across the ocean began to celebrate and report in an instant.

"The United States is pressing China and bringing home the most gold medals", "The Sino-US gold medal war has ended"...While "selling and boasting", it still does not forget to belittle and discredit China and describe Chinese athletes as unsentimental." Gold medal machine".


Watching the American media on the other side of the ocean reveling, Chinese netizens seem very calm.

　　In fact, before the last game day, China ranked above the United States in the number of gold medals.

After being overtaken at the last moment, Chinese netizens showed the generosity of the citizens of a major country and sent blessings to the US delegation.

　　However, just a few days ago, in order to keep the United States at the first place on the medal list, the US media adopted a ranking method that allowed many netizens to "bright up".

"Washington Post" ranks based on the total number of medals.

　　This method includes ranking according to the total number of medals (the International Olympic Committee is based on the total number of gold medals).

However, some American media felt that this was not enough, and ranked the gold, silver, and bronze medals separately. In the end, the US delegation "struck" China with 2:1.

ABC ranks gold, silver, and bronze medals separately.

　　These "little actions" of the American media have aroused mass ridicule in many media around the world.

The Australian News Network once exposed the careful thinking of the American media with the title "The United States is Manipulating the Medal List in a Strange Way." Not number one?

"To criticize the operation of the US media.

　　It makes people laugh dumbfounded to watch the American media devote themselves to these small actions.

This is already 2021, and there are still countries making a big fuss about the number of medals.

"Washington Post" commented: Olympic medals do not represent the cultural strength of a country.

　　When the number of gold medals lags behind, they will use their cleverness to change the ranking method; in the face of competitors, they advocate "Olympic medals no longer represent a country's cultural strength", and ridicule countries that are not as strong as their own to highlight their superiority.

The "Washington Post" once published an article mocking India for "a country with a population of 1.3 billion. It has only won 35 medals in decades."

　　Compared with the formal media in the United States, the majority of Chinese netizens are much calmer.

While sending blessings to the US delegation, everyone paid more attention to the sportsmanship demonstrated by the athletes and the self-breakthrough of the Chinese delegation in this Olympic Games.


　　We are encouraged by Su Bingtian's breaking of the Asian record at the age of 32, and for the "mother-level" player Huang Xuechen to lose 60 pounds after giving birth. We are only moved to return to the game; we cheer for the women's three-person basketball team for winning the first Olympic medal. ...Neither of them stood on the highest podium in the end, but their belief in constantly surpassing themselves has won the respect of everyone.

　　Table tennis, regarded as the "national ball", lost the gold medal in the mixed doubles competition. Xu Xin later praised his opponent for "playing very well"; the Indonesian badminton player knelt and cried after winning the gold, and the national badminton team Chen Qingchen who lost the game Jia Yifan stepped forward to comfort; weightlifting champion Hou Zhihui invited the runner-up and third runner-up to stand on the championship podium for a group photo... The big picture of Chinese Olympic athletes has countless fans in the world sports circle.

　　Off the field, Chinese audiences have never hesitated to give applause to foreign athletes: Chusovikina fighting for their dreams, young table tennis player Hende Zaza from war-torn Syria, and participating in the Olympics for the first time. , Belgian weightlifting lady Nina Stelles, who cried because of her results being invalidated... The most memorable thing about the Olympics is that in addition to winning and losing, there is also the glory of humanity.

　　In fact, the position of the American media does not represent the attitude of all American athletes.

Compared with the cold numbers on the rankings, American athletes will also release a friendly side.

　　At the scene of the balance beam final, after Chinese teenager Guan Chenchen won the championship, American gymnast Byers took the initiative to hug her. Another American athlete Sunissa-Li also posted a photo with Guan Chenchen on personal social media to celebrate My good friend won the championship.

At this moment, the Olympic spirit truly transcended national boundaries and races.

　　It's just that some American media with ulterior motives have regarded the sporting feast the world is looking forward to as a "weapon" to attack other countries.

Data map: On August 3, Beijing time, in the women's balance beam final of the Tokyo Olympics, Chinese player Guan Chenchen won the championship with 14.633 points.

This is the 32nd gold medal of the Chinese delegation in this Olympic Games.

Another Chinese player Tang Qianjing finished second.

The picture shows Guan Chenchen showing the gold medal.

　　Not long ago, the International Olympic Committee added "more unity" after the Olympic motto "faster, higher, stronger", and the connotation of the Olympic spirit has become richer and more profound.

As the global epidemic has not yet ended, "more unity" also indicates a common destiny for mankind, and we must unite more.

　　The number of medals is never the full meaning of our participation in the Olympic movement.

As Lang Ping said: "We are fighting a world competition, not a world war. We are fighting a human spirit."

　　The Chinese nation has always been brave enough to fight for the first place and dare to win, and in the face of adversity, it has never "cannot afford to lose."

If you win, you will win openly, and if you lose, you will also lose frankly.

Look at the outstanding performance of Chinese athletes, and then look at the broad minds of the Chinese audience——

　　The US media needs to open up the situation.
