ive been looking through all the very angry posts on the r/olympics sub (soooooo much racism), and cant find the longer video but from what i can gather from the occasional informed-looking post:
there have been a number of decisions in the short track yesterday that various nationalists are up in arms about (especially south koreans)
apparently short track has convoluted rules that are counter intuitive to outsiders and theres a long history of exactly this sort of judging dispute
a lot of disqualifications came from actions that were separate from the actions in the videos that the redditors were posting
the people who seem to know their shit suggest all the judgements were reasonable
also at least one chinese skater got disqualified on a similarly close call
and also none of the judges are chinese
but We Did It Reddit a bunch of people who never watched short track before in their lives discovered a nefarious ccp plot to cheat because the celestial brainpan is unable to cope with the loss of face from an athlete not winning
