China’s Five-Star Red Flag Replaces Argentina’s Flag in Women’s 100m Breaststroke
The Paris Olympic Organizing Committee is causing controversy this time by making the mistake of showing the Chinese red flag instead of the Argentine flag.
On the 29th (local time), Argentine swimmer Macarena Ceballos entered the arena to participate in the women’s 100m breaststroke quarterfinals. At that time, the Chinese flag, not the Argentine flag, was displayed on the screen behind Ceballos.
Ceballos looked at the five-star red flag twice in disbelief, but he entered with a smile as if trying not to lose his composure.
Argentine announcer Gonzalo Bonadeo, who was broadcasting the match live at the time, said, “I can’t believe it’s the Chinese flag and not the Argentine flag,” and “There were no Chinese players participating in this match, so this kind of mistake was made,” expressing his bewilderment.
A majority of Argentine netizens expressed their displeasure on social media, saying, “I don’t know if they confused the flag with China, which has a completely different flag color and country name.”
Some Argentine netizens even spread a conspiracy theory, saying, “It seems like the Paris Olympic Organizing Committee did this on purpose.”
It has been reported that they claim that France is seeking revenge because Argentina defeated France in the 2022 Qatar World Cup final and because Argentina’s players recently sang a racist song disparaging France after winning the Copa America, which has led to poor relations with France.
Meanwhile, at the opening ceremony held on the 27th, when the Korean team entered, the stadium announcer called out North Korea’s name in French and English. When North Korea appeared, they also introduced North Korea, and as a result, North Korea was introduced twice.
