Youtube：中国杯表彰式で、フィギアスケート選手の千葉百音に起きた悲劇
********************************************************************************
*****************************************************************************
中国国内で人気が高く、フリーで4回転ルッツを決めた銀メダルのアレクサンドラ・イグナトワがコールされると、観客席からは割れんばかりの大歓声が起こった。
一方、優勝した千葉百音に対しては、拍手がまばらだっただけでなく、「君が代」斉唱の直前には、大きな罵声が発せられた。
このシーンに、競技仲間も悲しみを隠せなかった。
ミラノ・コルティナ五輪5位で2024年のGPファイナルで優勝経験もあるアンバー・グレン選手は、千葉への思いを綴った。
「本当に胸が痛む」、「モネはとても優しい人なのに、自分ではどうすることもできないようなことのせいで、憎まれるなんて、あってはならない」と擁護した。
When the name of silver medalist Alexandra Ignatova—who enjoys immense popularity in China and successfully landed a quadruple Lutz in her free skate—was announced, the arena erupted in thunderous cheers.
In stark contrast, the reaction to the winner, Mone Chiba, was limited to sparse applause; in fact, just before the Japanese national anthem, "Kimigayo," began to play, loud boos could even be heard.
This situation deeply distressed the other skaters.
Amber Glenn, who placed fifth at the Milano-Cortina Olympics and won the 2024 Grand Prix Final, expressed her feelings regarding Chiba, saying, "It’s truly heartbreaking."
Coming to Chiba’s defense, Glenn added, "Mone is such a kind person.
It is completely wrong for her to be subjected to such intense hatred over things that are entirely beyond her control."
**************************** My Opinion ********************************
GDP世界2位もただのハリボテであり、人間性も同様である。
今回明らかになった、スポーツマンシップの欠片もない国民性は最悪だ。
近年は中国製品の価格の安さと性能の比率を高く評価する記事や意見を時々ネットで見かける事も有る。
事実、私の近くにもそう言って崇める人も多い。
しかし私は全く同意できない。
中国製品はデザインも性能も技術も、どこかのコピーであり互換品である。
もしかしたら、盗んだ技術である可能性も高い。
結局、中国は安い低品質製品しか作れない国だとしか思わない。
スポーツにも、中国製品にも通じるが、国際的にフェアーな精神や相手を尊重する姿勢が全く無い。
自分たちの勝手な思い込みや意見が全てで、他人の意見や悲しみ、怒りを理解できない国民性なのだ。
どう立ち回ろうとも、自分たちの利益しか考えない彼らの、世界への貢献度は低く、政府も問題行動ばかりだ。
世界でも近年は知的レベルは高い人も多いし、科学分野の政府予算も多いと評価されている中国だが、世界に貢献したことを評価されるノーベル賞の受賞者は少ない。
China has yet to become a developed nation.
Its status as the world’s second-largest economy is merely a facade—much like the character of its people.
The national character revealed recently—utterly devoid of even a shred of sportsmanship—is truly appalling.
In recent years, one occasionally encounters articles or opinions online that praise Chinese products for their favorable price-to-performance ratio.
In fact, many people around me hold such views and speak of these products with admiration.
I, however, cannot agree at all.
Chinese products—whether in terms of design, performance, or technology—are invariably copies or imitations of others’ work.
There is a strong possibility that the technology involved has even been stolen.
Ultimately, I see China as a nation capable of producing nothing more than cheap, low-quality goods.
This holds true for both their approach to sports and their manufactured products.
There is a complete absence of a spirit of fair play or respect for others on the international stage.
Their national character is defined by an insistence that their own arbitrary assumptions and opinions are the only ones that matter; they seem incapable of understanding the perspectives, sorrows, or anger of others.
Regardless of how they position themselves, they are driven solely by their own self-interest, offering little to the global community—while their government is consistently embroiled in problematic behavior.
Although China is often credited with having a highly educated population and allocating significant government funding to scientific research, it has produced very few Nobel laureates—individuals whose contributions to the world are formally recognized.
