Liu Yang attended the Paris Olympic Games summary meeting. Afterwards, he updated his social media and it went wrong, causing him to be scolded and cyber-bullied.

Liu Yang wrote, "This is my third time attending the Olympic delegation meeting, and I am still extremely excited. I hope to do it again! For this touch of Chinese red!" Unexpectedly, it was these words that triggered the indignation of netizens.

First, why did Liu Yang want to compete in the fourth Olympics again? Because he wanted to become a great athlete. "There are people in the sports field that I admire, Ma Long, Long Ge. They have many injuries and are very old, but they still compete in the Olympics. I think this spirit is worth learning. And I have said before that I want to change from an excellent athlete to a great athlete. This is one of my goals." Liu Yang said in the program.

Therefore, Liu Yang had the idea of ​​competing in another Olympic Games, but netizens did not buy it because Liu Yang won the gold medal on the rings at the expense of the team.

Why do you say that? In the Paris Olympics, Liu Yang participated in the men's team competition, but only competed in the rings event. Therefore, netizens believe that his gold medal on the rings was the result of other teammates carrying the burden for Liu Yang.

Netizens commented, "I won't watch any team competitions that include you, because I know that brother Liu Yang will definitely lead his brothers to win silver." "They say they want team gold, but in fact they can only contribute 1/18. The Chinese men's gymnastics team has such a big brother who has a policy of building the team around individual events. There is a reason why the Dream Team, which once won seven consecutive championships, has become a 1.5-rate team that has no team gold in three consecutive Olympics and no all-around gold in four Olympics." "All countries build their teams around the all-around, but we are the only one that builds the team around teacher Niu's individual events. Individual quotas must be obtained through team competitions, so if you only participate in one of the 18 sets, who will make up for the low tolerance rate caused by the other teammates filling in the items? The team competition that teacher Niu didn't participate in won gold, but the ones that did participate didn't. You can practice individual events regardless of the team's beauty, so just practice individual events and miss the finals together. I understand that you are excited after the commendation meeting, but if you really want to, don't practice individual events."...

Some netizens also posted data to refute Liu Yang, saying that Liu Yang did not participate in the 2018 Doha World Championships and the 2022 Liverpool World Championships, but the Chinese team won the men's team gold medal.

In fact, looking back on this Olympics, Liu Yang said, "I give myself 9.9 points for the individual events. Actually, before the team event, I didn't have any individual plans, including some psychological preparation, because the main goal or motivation for persisting in this cycle was the team championship. Then, I really invested a lot in the team finals."

Talking about the team finals, Liu Yang said, "I always felt that we could beat Japan without much of a problem, because our teammates this year are very united, and our goals are very consistent."

In response to the team losing the gold medal, Liu Yang said, "In fact, the result is acceptable. What is unacceptable is that, after summing up, I still feel guilty. I feel that I have not done more for the team and shared more pressure with my teammates." Liu Yang even said, "I am willing to trade my personal gold medal for the men's team gold medal, because in my heart the weight of the team far exceeds the individual gold medal, because it represents the level of the entire Chinese gymnastics, including the opponent we are facing is the Japanese team."
