鏈球選手周柏言身形被質疑 教練指出其香港青年紀錄成績
一名Threads用戶以香港田徑選手的身形質疑其參賽資格,引起網上批評。教練其後指出,相中運動員是持有香港U18及U20鏈球紀錄的周柏言,並呼籲公眾了解不同田徑項目。
中國香港田徑總會9月11日在大圍圍方舉行活動,向今年在亞洲青年及世界青年賽事取得佳績的選手頒發獎金。即將出戰名古屋亞運的香港田徑隊亦在活動中會見傳媒。活動相關新聞其後在Threads被轉載,其中一名男選手因身形受到發帖者質疑。
該用戶在新聞圖片中以紅圈標示一名身形較壯碩的選手,留言質疑他為何能參賽,並批評香港隊的選拔安排。帖文引起大量回應,多名網民認為這類言論反映對田徑運動的認識不足,亦涉及身形羞辱(Body Shaming)。
回應者指出,田徑除了短跑及長跑,也包括鉛球、鐵餅、鏈球及標槍等投擲項目,這些項目對核心力量有要求,不能只憑運動員外觀判斷其競技能力。部分留言批評發帖者對長期訓練的運動員欠缺尊重。
發帖者其後表示,自己原先以為田徑隊只代表跑步項目,例如百米與4乘100米接力,並不知道隊伍包含其他項目。他亦請與自己有同樣理解的用戶對留言表示認同。
相中選手的教練隨後留言,說明被圈出的運動員持有香港U18及U20鏈球紀錄,並表示不了解並不要緊,公眾可以藉此認識項目。另一田徑訓練團隊指出,鏈球沒有身形限制,相中選手亦並非其團隊中身形最壯碩的人,呼籲公眾關注及支持不同項目、不同身形的香港運動員。
相關紀錄顯示,該名選手是南華體育會運動員周柏言,近年在本地男子青年鏈球項目取得成績。他在第22屆亞洲U20田徑錦標賽擲出49米04,刷新香港男子U20鏈球紀錄。
舊紀錄為謝達萬於2018年創下的47米72,維持了8年。周柏言以49米04打破該紀錄,成為這次網上討論中教練說明其競技資格的重要成績。
