  Chinanews client, Beijing, December 4 (Reporter Yue Chuan) The 24th Winter Olympic Games will kick off in Beijing on February 4, 2022, and there are still two months left.

With the wish of "together to the future", the world is looking forward to a sports event that will leave beautiful memories.

  The Winter Olympics is approaching, and the preparations for Beijing as the host are coming to an end, and the planned "Meet in Beijing" series of test competitions have been well received by all parties.

Players from all over the world are stepping up their preparations to show themselves on the stage of the Beijing Winter Olympics.

  However, at a time when the enthusiasm for the global Winter Olympics continues to rise, a small group of Western politicians have recently tried to politicize sports, creating the so-called "diplomatic boycott" of the Beijing Winter Olympics.

This behavior obviously runs counter to the Olympic motto of "more unity".

  Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin recently stated that the Beijing Winter Olympics is a grand event for winter Olympic athletes and ice and snow sports enthusiasts around the world, not a stage for political shows and political manipulation.

A successful and exciting Olympic Games requires the joint efforts of the Winter Olympics family, and does not depend on the attendance of individual country officials.

  In fact, according to the rules of the Olympic Games, politicians from various countries are invited to attend the Olympic Games by their own Olympic Committee.

In the Centennial Olympics, politicians have never been the protagonists. This is the stage for athletes.

Politicizing sports is not only against the spirit of the Olympics, but it is the athletes of all countries who ultimately suffer.

Therefore, people from all walks of life, including the sports world, will not agree to when someone with motives tries to "break down".

  "Frankly speaking, I think this is an empty gesture." International Athletics Federation President Sebastian Co. emphasized that he opposes the so-called "diplomatic boycott" of the Beijing Winter Olympics, which is just "a little bit." Meaningless gesture".

  The United States Olympic Committee also has a clear-cut stand. Its CEO Sarah Hirschland believes that any boycott of the Olympics is not an effective solution to international political problems, but it will have a great negative impact on athletes.

  Not only people in the sports world, many foreign netizens are far more sober than the handful of Western politicians.

On a foreign website about "whether we should'boycott' the Beijing Winter Olympics", someone left a message like this: "The world should not be like this. The Olympics is about athletes, not politics. After years of hard training, athletes have made great achievements. Sacrifice. It is very unfair to deprive them of the opportunity to compete."

  "I also think this is very unfair to athletes. Some of these athletes have been training for ten years or more. They sacrificed income, family time and job opportunities, and now may be their peak time. They deserve to be in There is no opportunity for political interference to show their strength."

  Others wrote: boycotting the Olympics is a terrible move. Politics and sports should not be confused. This will leave a stain on the game; this is shameful. Peace is the original intention of the Olympics. Using it as a political manipulation tool is very important. Sadly, all wars and conflicts should stop...
