[Sports Center/Comprehensive Report] The Tokyo Olympic taekwondo bronze medalist Luo Jialing was overweight at the U.S. Open. Coach Liu Congda’s words of "being lucky" caused heated discussions. Shu issued a statement saying that he blamed himself for causing the coach to be affected.

Luo Jialing was originally scheduled to participate in the US Open Women's 57kg event in March, but she was too heavy during the weighing. Even if she cut off her hair on the spot, she still missed the competition by 0.1kg. I thought it was the same as in China that I could have a naked weight", which caused an uproar.

Although she was disqualified in the U.S. Grand Prix, Luo Jialing performed well in the following Holland Open and Belgian Open, scoring one bronze and one silver. When I went to Taiwan, I also posted an article explaining my state of mind at the time of the incident.

Luo Jialing mentioned that after being disqualified at that time, "I am really sorry for the coach and the team in my heart at the moment, and I can't cool down for a while. I remember that day Coach Ada called us and told us that there are still competitions to compete, so we have the courage to go Faced with the mistakes we made, but there is no time for us to stop and regret, we must quickly cheer up and prepare for the game, so as not to affect the next game."

Luo Jialing revealed that the coach told her at the time: "The coach can still bear it. The coach is there for the big things." In training and competition, I will leave other things to me.” This time he stood in front to protect me again. He and his family have suffered many, many grievances, but this time I did not do what I should do. What caused troubles to the coach, the team, and all the people affected is what I blame the most.”

Luo Jialing wrote: "We are the first taekwondo team with a golden plan. The process of forming a team is actually not easy. During the process, I am very grateful to the coaches for running around and the officers for helping us who are inexperienced and let our team Gradually on the track, and this vigilance has also allowed us to learn a lot. The coach also conducted a review with us. Next, the division of labor in the team should be clearer, and the return on the physical condition of the players should be clearer. We should work hard to fight for the lack of resources. , and hope that the lessons we have learned can bring valuable experience to future taekwondo teams.”
