This week, the World Badminton Tour Super 750 Danish Open was held in Odense . The main force of the national badminton rushed to Denmark from China and will continue to compete in a series of European events such as the Danish Open, the French Open and the German Sea Dew Open to sprint for the Guangzhou year-end finals. As a result, an unpleasant incident occurred in the second round of the Danish Open, which pushed the relationship between the Chinese badminton team and the Danish badminton team to a hot search. The cause of the
incident was in the mixed doubles field. At that time, in the second round of the game, the top mixed doubles group of the Chinese badminton team IELTS Zheng Siwei / Huang Yaqiong was against the host Danish group Mickelson/Serby. During the game, the serve of the IELTS group was attacked by the referee on duty. The female referee of the Austrian was targeted, and they were judged to have nine serving violations, while the Denmark team did not have one time. It was in this situation that the IELTS combination was dragged into the decisive game by the opponent and finally won 21-19, with only two points.
precisely because during the game, the serve referee made consecutive violations of serves by the IELTS combination. After two games, the head coach of the Chinese badminton mixed doubles, Yang Ming, came on the court to appeal to the referee on duty and the Dutch. As a result, at this moment, Danish mixed doubles coach Thomas pointed at Yang Ming directly on the court, and even showed extreme behavior of pushing Yang Ming. At that time, this scene was recorded by the live broadcast screen and became the focus of hot discussion in the badminton world after the game.
Although the Danish mixed doubles team played at home and the referee was taking care of it intentionally or unintentionally, it was still unable to "upset" the IELTS team in the end. After the game, Zheng Siwei also politely argued with the serve referee, but it seemed that it did not work. After the game, the Chinese badminton team sent a letter directly to the World Badminton Federation, asking to investigate whether the penalty of the serving referee was professional and fair, and the extreme behavior of the Danish team coach.
On the night of this incident, the Danish badminton team issued an apology statement in time, saying that the behavior in the game brought unhappiness to everyone, hoping for subsequent adjustments, and emphasized the friendly relations with the Chinese badminton team. A day later, Danish badminton coach Jonathan continued to issue an apology letter. He apologized to China on behalf of the Denmark team, especially to the Chinese coach, which will prompt the coach Thomas to apologize in person to reconcile to Coach Yang Ming in person at the French Open next week.
Chinese fans did not buy into the so-called apology of the Danish team, and even questioned the sincerity of the apology. Because the coach Thomas in question left Odense that night and returned to the capital Copenhagen , there was a so-called apology next week. As for the national badminton team, Coach Yang Ming once again emphasized his position and viewpoint. Normal appeals are guaranteed, but the Danish coach's excessive actions are indeed incomprehensible. Yang Ming expressed respect for Jonathan's apology, but he believed that this was the personal behavior of coach Thomas. As the head coach, Jonathan did not need to apologize to him. He hoped to get Thomas himself to apologize.
