No one knows why, but this Weibo post questioning the Chinese team's roster of mixed men's and women's 4x400m athletes was suddenly forwarded tens of thousands of times, triggering a group of people's sarcasm and indignation.
——[The Olympics is such an important competition, why don’t you choose the best candidates for the relay team? This Zhang Jiale was just selected for the national team during the trial before the New Year, right? What is his current personal best? Can I play directly in the Olympics? 】
——[I know this Zhang Jiale. Wasn’t he very popular in the second season of Track and Field Idol Training Camp? The one whose family members are all watching him train, haha, but that's a show after all, and this is the Olympics, you can't just let him compete just because he's popular, right? 】
——[Zhang Ziyi and Qiu Wen are both in Tokyo. They were originally the main players in the mixed 4x400m relay. Why aren't they competing now? ? 】
Similar comments and reposts suddenly went viral on Weibo, attracting some passers-by who were paying attention to this topic purely because of the Olympic fever to be led away by this seemingly righteous questioning. Even gossip public accounts on Weibo that purely use the number of clicks as their KPI began to participate in this topic.
Soon, the dark topic #Unfair list of participants in mixed 4x400m# suddenly became a hot topic. Because we are currently in the Olympic cycle, the topic of the Olympics is already hot. The public has always felt honor and pride in the performance of Chinese athletes in the Olympic Games. Naturally, if there is a topic that is unfair to athletes or is detrimental to Chinese athletes' participation in the Olympics, the public will be particularly angry.
In the eyes of many people, anyone who does anything that is detrimental to Olympic athletes or Chinese athletes achieving good results during the Olympics is a bad person with ulterior motives.
This topic exploded and fermented extremely quickly, and public opinion on the Internet also fermented very quickly.
In fact, when the public opinion monitoring of the track and field team and the track and field management center discovered this incident, it was only on the preliminary hot search list. However, in the short time that the monitoring personnel reported the relevant matters directly to Liao Jie, it directly rushed into the top ten of the hot search list.
"Director Liao, the rising speed of this hot search is not normal. It looks like someone is pushing it from behind." The staff member who monitors public opinion looked at the situation in front of them. Anyone who is familiar with the rising trend of hot searches on the Internet and Weibo can see that the rising trend of this hot search is indeed very abnormal.
When Liao Jie heard the news, he was also observing the hot searches and forwarded content on Weibo. He clicked on a few accounts and found that many of the forwarding accounts were obviously small accounts.
This situation existed, and it existed in large numbers. Liao Jie immediately realized that someone was taking advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble, but he didn't know who this person was or what their purpose was.
However, it didn't take long before the purpose of the person behind the scenes was exposed - a lot of topics related to Su Bai began to be mixed into this hot topic on Weibo.
——[Coach Su Bai has learned nepotism at such a young age? Or how much benefits did Zhang Jiale give you behind the scenes? 】
——【Forget about Li Junhao, after all, he was originally a member of the men's 4x400m relay team. But Zhang Jiale was just selected from the tryout team... Oh, come to think of it, when the tryout team was selected, Coach Su Baisu would select whoever he liked, right? There were already quite a few 400m athletes in the team with good results, but in the end they chose a bunch of misfits? 】
——[Haha, everyone says that Coach Su Bai is an authoritative coach in the 400-meter sprint. However, Ding Ruihan, who had the best performance among the young generation of 400-meter sprinters in the country, was not selected. In the end, newcomers were selected from the 800-meter, 1500-meter and long jump events. Can these people really achieve good results? This is very suspicious! 】
Of course, there were also people who knew Ding Ruihan's situation at the time and helped to speak up, saying that Ding Ruihan was sent back to his original team due to violations in training. However, these people were actually real water armies with their own set of rhetoric. All they said to these people was, "The ancients knew that talents should be recruited regardless of their background. Ding Ruihan only had a minor violation in training. If you really want to recruit talents, why do you want to kick Ding Ruihan out?" '.
In short, the logic of these internet trolls is touching. They also take advantage of the fact that a large number of passers-by only pay attention to sports during the Olympics and are unaware of previous events, so they try to wash black into white and white into black.
This wave of operations is obviously aimed at Su Bai and some members of the 400-meter team. There is a sense of using public opinion to discredit Su Bai, or to force Su Bai to absorb Ding Ruihan into the national team.
After seeing this, what else could the public opinion regulators and Liao Jie not understand? There is indeed a mastermind behind this aggressive public opinion topic, and this mastermind is undoubtedly Ding Ruihan or Ding Ruihan and his parents.
Su Bai made detailed records of the entire screening process for the trial team, including the training plans of different coaches and the reasons why different athletes were eliminated and returned to their original teams.
After the final screening of the athletes, the final list of athletes entering the national team has backup records from the Athletics Administration Center and the General Administration of Sport. In order to be able to review the overall training results of the trial teams and supervise the actual training situation, they even included surveillance video materials, training video materials, etc. These are all clear and cannot be falsified.
Liao Jie and his colleagues also knew about the team member Ding Ruihan at that time. As for Su Bai's decision to send him back to his original team, the Athletics Administration Center and the General Administration of Sport did not interfere and agreed with it.
I didn't expect that Ding Ruihan didn't want to train well, but kept messing around with this kind of stuff. He wanted to take advantage of the heated discussions in sports-related news during the Olympics to directly discredit Su Bai and the others!
Thinking of this, Liao Jie felt a surge of anger in his heart.
"Go ahead, first make a clarification and publish the reasons why Su Bai made this choice. Then, ask the sports media we know to do a special issue on Ding Ruihan. Also, ask the track and field team to edit the video footage of Ding Ruihan training with the team and send it to them. Then, find someone to dig up the series of things about Ding Ruihan controlling the Internet army behind the scenes. I don't believe he has the brains to keep it secret!"
"Also, contact the media and disclose the process of Su Bai selecting the players for the trial training. Also, release the performance curve of the players who passed the trial training over the past six months. Then make a comparison chart of Ding Ruihan's performance curve!"
The veins on Liao Jie's forehead were taut, but his mind was still clear. He arranged various responses one by one. Finally, after everything was arranged, he hung up the phone and made a cross-border call directly to Su Bai in Japan. The mixed men's and women's 4x400m competition was about to start in the evening, but domestic public opinion had this kind of thing in the afternoon. Liao Jie had to talk to Su Bai and ask him to comfort the athletes and not let them be affected at this critical moment.
Thinking of this, Liao Jie became angry again - those internet trolls openly said that Su Bai was selfish and would affect the performance of the athletes during the Olympics. In fact, just by looking at this operation, you can tell who the selfish person is!
In the Tokyo Olympic Village, Su Bai was very surprised for a moment after receiving the call. Thinking of Ding Ruihan's series of shouting at the beginning, he could really get angry.
"Okay, Director Liao, I understand the situation. I'd like to trouble you to help deal with the media and public opinion issues." Su Bai suppressed his anger and thanked Liao Jie in a deep voice for helping him deal with the situation in the first place.
Su Bai is in the sports circle, so of course he knows that in some projects, there are always problems between the superior centers and coaches, etc. It is also because there are indeed some not-so-good situations that this topic today can so easily incite ordinary people to believe.
However, the people and things he has encountered so far have made him willing to believe that most people in the sports circle are good people who are willing to do practical things for the sports industry.
After hanging up the phone, Su Bai frowned and opened his Weibo account, taking a look at the current public opinion on Weibo. Because this topic was so popular, some people who were unaware of the situation even went to his Weibo to scold him for being unworthy of his position.
Su Bai does not intend to tolerate this matter. For a player like Ding Ruihan, even if he really manipulates public opinion, the national team will never be able to and should not accept him into the team. Otherwise, this will be the greatest injustice to those players who truly enter the national team based on their own strength.
Su Bai: [I just received a call and learned about the public opinion on the Internet. I would like to make a statement once and for all - since I took the position of coach, all my choices and judgments were made based on the best solution for the team and the athletes. The player Ding Ruihan mentioned in the public opinion has a bad personal style, is lazy in training, and is hostile to the coach. Apart from that, his talent is not strong enough for people to let him enter the national team at all costs. I can publicly say here: Even if he devotes all his effort to training, after 3 years, his PB will not exceed that of any player of the same age group as him who is selected into the national team! 】
After Su Bai made this statement, a joint clarification from the national team and the Athletics Administration Center was directly released. The clarification article clearly stated why Su Bai chose the current players Zhang Jiale and Li Junhao to replace Qiu Wen and Zhang Ziyi.
Soon after, a gossip public account also released information that someone had indeed hired internet trolls to manipulate the incident, and judging from the name of the remitter, his surname was indeed Ding.
At the same time, relevant public accounts on the Internet sorted out the Ding Ruihan incident in a very short time, and someone released the video footage of Ding Ruihan slacking off, flirting with girls and disrespecting the coach during training.
On the Internet, ordinary netizens who were originally indignant about this matter were stunned after seeing this series of reversals, and then immediately became angry - we thought we were helping the side of justice, but you treated us like fools?
Ding Ruihan's side had never expected that public opinion would turn around so quickly. When everything was going well before, Ding Ruihan and his parents thought that the national team and Su Bai would definitely be taught a lesson. However, in the blink of an eye, the reversal of online public opinion made all the previous violent language fall back on their heads.
At the same time, Zhang Jiale and Li Junhao also learned about the situation on the Internet. Zhang Jiale frowned and went straight to Su Bai's door. He knocked on his door and said to Su Bai who came to open the door: "Coach, don't worry, I will definitely do my best... I will let those guys see my strength!"
At the same time, behind Zhang Jiale, Li Junhao also arrived at Su Bai's door and nodded with an unhappy look on his face: "I will definitely let that Ding whatsoever see how awesome I am!"
Looking at the determined and unhappy expressions on Zhang Jiale and Li Junhao's faces, Su Bai smiled and nodded, "Okay, good luck in the game!"
