Chinese netizens urge Australian media to apologize for defaming Olympic gold medalist Quan Hongchan
这家澳大利亚媒体,必须向全红婵道歉!
News.com.au, a conservative Australian news website under Rupert Murdoch’s News Corp, enraged Chinese netizens with a recent article that defamed China’s Olympic gold medalist Quan Hongchan with weird, offensive words.
Fourteen-year-old diver Quan, the youngest in China’s team to Tokyo Olympic Games, won gold in the women’s 10-meter platform on Thursday with an incomparable performance that included three perfect-ten dives.
Despite of Quan’s exciting smile and a big hug with her coach after the final score came out, news.com.au wrote on Thursday that Quan “remained entirely pokerfaced [and] did not crack even the slimmest of smiles. Viewers were shocked at Quan’s reaction,” it claimed.
The news site even said in the caption of a picture in the article that Quan “looked devastated after being given a perfect score” which was obviously not the case and, in a lack of basic human touch, tried to describe this young gold medalist as an odd, taciturn teenager.
The news.com.au article sparked anger among some Chinese netizens on Thursday who criticized this Australian media outlet for slandering Chinese athletes with misinformation and bias.
年仅14岁的中国跳水运动员全红婵,以震惊奥运赛场的满分成绩,夺得了跳水10米跳台的冠军。
然而,澳大利亚“臭名昭著”的默多克新闻集团,却恶毒地侮辱了这名还未成年的中国运动员和每一个关心与支持她的中国人。
如下图所示,就在全红婵夺冠后,澳大利亚新闻集团旗下媒体,竟然阴阳怪气地发布了一则报道,称全红婵即便表现惊人,拿到了满分,却“没有露出笑容”。
这家澳大利亚媒体还称“观众都被她丝毫没有愉悦心情的这一幕惊呆了”。
不仅如此,这家澳大利亚媒体还在自己的网站首页上登出了这篇报道,标题是:“在做出了完美的跳水后,这个少年’极度痛苦’”。
