A South Korean professor recently raised concerns with the International Olympic Committee (IOC), claiming that the movie damages the reputation of South Korean short-track speed skaters. Professor Seo Kyoung-duk from Sungshin Women’s University contacted IOC Chairman Thomas Bach and other committee members, requesting a warning to Beijing and the Olympic Organizing Committee.
The movie, released on February 12 on the Chinese platform iQIYI, features a key scene where Cheng and Shen compete in an Asian tournament to qualify for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics. Despite an initial lead, they are involved in an incident with South Korean skaters, resulting in an injury. Despite this, the duo perseveres and secures victory.
The controversy arose amidst similar disputes during the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, where South Korean skaters faced penalties, leading to political tensions. Chinese netizens argue that the film’s depiction reflects the intense nature of the sport and should not be taken as a personal affront.
The movie highlights themes of resilience and determination in the face of adversity, with the plot showcasing the fierce competition in short track speed skating.
