Text/Global Daily Zhang At the Tokyo Olympic Games in Japan, there was a strong protest on the podium for the first time: 25-year-old African-American track and field athlete Raven Sanders raised his arm and made an "X" gesture at the awarding ceremony after winning the gold medal in the women's shot put event in August 1.

When asked about the practical significance of this gesture, Sanders, a member of LGBT, declared that "it is to better serve the oppressed people.

Basically, after Disha Inboden, who won the British men's foil team medal, stepped onto the podium, some foreign media found that he had drawn a circle on his left wrist with an "X" written in it. The New York Times's report stressed that Imboden didn't have this mark on his hand before the game.

The meaning of this symbol is not clear at this stage, but some senior officials of the American Olympic Games revealed that they recently heard that British athletes are planning a strong protest against the theme activities.

Disha Imboden is a member of the British men's fencing team.

The Guardian reported that Saunders is black or bisexual, and he has been plagued by physical and mental health problems. After winning the gold medal in August 1, Saunders showed respect for his "community".

She said that compared with previous generations, young people today are more willing to accept differences. "In the final analysis, people really don't care. I want to say a few words to all black people, to the LGBT people and to all those who are confused about their physical and mental health. Sanders said that "self-thinking" refers to "people who have worked hard all over the world but have a service platform to speak for themselves".

According to this report,

Saunders' strong protest against his personal behavior clearly violates the requirements of the International Olympic Committee, that is, it is forbidden to carry out all kinds of strong political protests on the Olympic podium or during the competition.

Although the Olympic Committee adjusted the strong protest requirements of relevant athletes before the East Obi game, saying that "soft strong protests are allowed before the game and athletes are allowed to express their opinions at the press conference", strong political and economic protests on the podium are still prohibited.

A spokesman for the Olympic Committee said that they had "scientifically studied Sanders' style". How she will be punished is unknown at this stage. The New York Times reported that Saunders' punishment may include condemnation, cancellation of the trophy or suspension.

Basically, at the same time as Sodney, Disha Inboden, a member of the British junior fencing team, made a similar behavior on the podium that day. Some foreign media found that Inboden drew a circle with his left hand and wrote an "X" in it.

As early as 20 19, Inboden suddenly fell on one knee during the stage of playing the national anthem in the Pan-American exercise held in the Peruvian capital. At that time, there were large and medium-sized shootings in Britain, and racial differences were prominent. Subsequently, Inboden also tweeted that the move was to better protest against social problems, racial discrimination, gun control and abuse of immigrant investment in Britain.

The Guardian reported that 150 athletes, coaches, experts and scholars, including British track and field sledgehammer Berry and British young track and field athlete Tommy Ashton, signed a joint letter last month, stipulating that the Olympic Committee should change the relevant requirements. The letter said, "Everyone feels that the world football community is at a big turning point in the fairness of racial and social development, and calls on the leaders of the Olympic and Paralympic Games to make a strong service commitment to civil rights, racial and social development.

Inboden also said on the day of 1 that he felt that the relevant standards hindered the pronunciation of the players. "I have written the content of the article and cooperated with the relevant federations of the British Olympic Organizing Committee to promote the Olympic Committee to change the current policy. Inboden claims that players should have the right to express their opinions on the service platform they have obtained.

It is worth mentioning that BOCOG has a completely different set of requirements from the Olympic Committee. In February last year, 65438+, the British Olympic Organizing Committee announced that it would not resist the release of political and metallurgical information by athletes, as long as such information did not involve hatred.

According to the report, the British view is that no matter how the Olympic Committee makes decisions, it is not easy to punish or reprimand players who make political remarks. But Britain, as a signatory of the Olympic Charter, should be punished by the Olympic Committee in theory.

The New York Times's report feels that this shows the dilemma between the Olympic Committee and the British Olympic Organizing Committee. Sarah Heslante, CEO of the British Olympic Organizing Committee, mentioned the leaders of the Olympic Committee last week and also said that "everyone has different opinions.

Jon Frank, a spokesman for BOOG1,initially said that they would consider this kind of thing at night, but later he was called that the Olympic Committee would take the core.

Previously, Sanders also attracted the attention of the outside world because of his unique dress at the Olympic Games. In the preliminary round, Saunders first put on a gas mask with a picture of the famous villain "Clown Man" cracking his mouth and laughing, and his hair was dyed green and purple. After successfully advancing to the finals, Saunders, nicknamed "Hulk", put on the mask of "returning to himself".

This has caused criticism from many Japanese netizens. Some people think that this move is a mockery of Japanese epidemic prevention. However, Saunders declared that wearing strange clothes was a way to express his friendliness, and bluntly said that he enjoyed being the focus of the audience.
