[Video] 'Chinese malicious comments terrorism' Cha Min-gyu ceremony, gold Canada also did

Attention is focused on the ceremony of Canadian athletes who won gold medals in the men's 5000m short track relay at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics.

In the men's 5000m relay final held at Capital Indoor Stadium in Beijing, China yesterday (16th), the Canadian national team crossed the finish line in first place (6:47.257) and won the gold medal.

At the Flower Ceremony held after that, the Canadian players stood out.

All Canadian athletes climbed the podium after swiping the floor twice with their hands before stepping onto the podium.

The Canadian players swept the floor and stepped onto the podium, raising their arms to the sky in the joy of victory.

Domestic fans who watched Canada's 'floor sweep' ceremony remembered Cha Min-gyu, who was attacked by malicious comments from the Chinese.

Min-gyu Cha, the men's sprinter in speed skating, won a silver medal in the men's 500m on the 12th.

Afterwards, at the medal ceremony, the Chinese swept the podium with their hands before going up to the podium.

This floor sweep ceremony was similar to what Canadian athletes who won bronze medals in the 5000m short track relay at the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics four years ago did before stepping onto the podium.

At that time, it was speculated that Canadian players held a floor sweeping ceremony to protest the judgment of their fellow athletes who participated in other events.

In response, Chinese people rushed to Cha Min-gyu's SNS, saying that he had a ceremony to protest the verdict, and attacked with malicious comments.

The Chinese media even made an absurd claim, saying that there is a possibility of losing the medal.

Cha Min-gyu said, "The podium is a precious and valuable place to me, so I wanted to go up with a more reverent heart. In that sense, I did the ceremony in the sense of respect."

Domestic netizens who watched the floor sweeping ceremony of the Canadian national team showed reactions such as "Chinese people harassed Cha Min-gyu so much and I'll see what he will say this time" and "Try to deprive the Canadian players of their gold medal."

Meanwhile, Canada's national team explained after the awards ceremony, "The last time we won a gold medal in the men's relay was the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics.
