Priestman, the head coach of the Canadian women's soccer team, was suspended from coaching and was unable to direct the first game against New Zealand. In addition, analyst Lombardi and staff member Mande, who were part of the coaching staff, were summarily dismissed and sent directly back to their home countries. What's more, the entire Canadian women's soccer team will be forced to attend an ethics training session, as the incident raises questions about their moral fiber.
This incident is undoubtedly an unexpected farce and extremely absurd event in this year's Paris Olympics. I have seen all kinds of underhanded operation, never seen the pre-game with a drone to secretly shoot the situation, where is this still like the Olympic Games? Simply like a movie spy in a dish. In their eyes, what are the principles of fairness, impartiality and openness of the Olympic Games?
The Olympic Games are truly an event for all mankind, and countries will do anything to get a good result. However, thankfully our Chinese delegation didn't behave like this. They quickly apologized after being caught sneaking photos of their opponents before the games, but what if they hadn't been caught? Having started cheating in the group stage, it's really hard to imagine any more radical moves if they had advanced to the knockout stages. Similarly, in the men's soccer match, Argentina and Morocco played to a 2:2 draw, and fans stormed the field causing the match to be interrupted, and it ended up taking two hours before the goal was declared null and void, which would seem to exemplify a similar situation.
