Olympic mentality cannot be damaged due to biased refereeing. Opportunities, processes, and results all need to be fair. • The main opposition People Power Party's candidate, Yoon Suk-yeol also took to Facebook saying, Sportsmanship goes hand in hand with the spirit of democracy...That's why other developed, democratic countries such as the U.S. and U.K. teach children sports at an early age. and expressed his support for the athletes who will continue on to compete, saying the nation knows who the real winners are. • Strongest words were used by Ahn Cheol-soo of the People's Party... saying China needs to cancel the dirty decisions and return the gold to South Korea. ... adding that this will be a local party rather than a global celebration. • Sim Sang-jeung, the candidate from the minor progressive Justice Party, issued a similar statement saying In the midst of COVID-19, many people around the world are looking for hope through the Beijing Winter Olympics. • The reactions come at a sensitive time for the candidates as the decisions made in Beijing infuriated many Koreans. • For the candidates... despite all four coming from different parties... their words are all in unison on this issue. • Kim Do-yeon, Arirang News. • #Presidential_candidate #speed_skating #presidential_candidate • 📣 Arirang News(Facebook) : / arirangtvnews • 📣 Arirang News(Twitter) : / arirangtvnews • 📣 News Center(YouTube) : / newscenter_arirangtv • • 2022-02-09, 12:00 (KST)
