Dayaan at iregularidad sa judges at officials malala

Nabansagang isa sa mga pinakamasamang karanasan ang ginaganap na 33^rd Southeast Asian Games sa Bangkok, Thailand kasunod ng umano'y maraming iregularidad, kaguluhan at dayaan na nagaganap sa naturang regional multi-sports event.

Matapang na inilahad ni Filipino shot putter William Morrison III ang pagkadismasya sa umano’y mababang kalidad at pabagu-bagong desisyon ng mga opisyales na nakaapekto sa kanyang kabuuang performance sa athletics competitions ng 33^rd biennial meet sa Suphachalasai National Stadium.

"Man, lots of issues, man. They're saying that my shot put didn't weigh in. This is the only place my shot put hasn't weighed in. I've used that shot put at Asian Games, Asian Championship, in the States, in Canada, Japan, everywhere I've used it. It's never been lightweight. And all of a sudden here, it's lightweight," pahayag ni Morrison, na nabigong mabawi ang korona na nakuha sa nagdaang Vietnam Games at makuntento sa tansong medalya. “And then I'm throwing, and they're going to stop me in the middle of my throw?

Like, why would they do that? Like, why would you stop me in the middle of my throw? Just to fix my bib. And then the shot puts that they provided were dog sh_t. They were not balanced."

Nahigitan ni Jonah Chang Rigan ng Malaysia ang 18.14 game record sa 2021 SEA Games sa bagong 18.78. Nagpahayag din ng matinding sama ng loob ang Association of Boxing Alliances of the Philippines (ABAP) sa patuloy na maruming tawagan sa boxing ng judges at officials kasunod ng pagkakatalsik nina Olympians Nesthy Petecio at Hergie Bacyadan sa semifinals.

Nanawagan si ABAP secretary general Marcus Manalo na kinakailangang magpakita ang pampalakasan ng integridad matapos ang itinuring niyang hindi patas na paghusga at pag-iskor na nagresulta sa kontrobersyal na 3-2 split decision na pagkatalo ni Petecio kay Hasanah Huswatan ng Indonesia.

“The sport really has to be better in terms of integrity. Otherwise, baka we don't really deserve to be in the Olympics beyond 2028,” pahayag ni Manalo at nagsimula ring mabigo ang iba pang boksingero. “Hindi natin mapakita sa mundo na may integrity tayo when it comes to refereeing and judging.”

Malaki ang paniniwala ni Manalo na ang laban ni Petecio sa women’s 63-kg semifinals ay nararapat na magtapos sa 5-0 unanimous decision panalo.  “Iyong kay Nesthy, very surprising kasi I thought the last round was very clear sa atin. I wasn't even worried about the result. Nag-e-expect na lang ako na sa atin talaga, unanimous,” saad ni Manalo. “Pero naging 3-2 split pa for the Indonesian. Hindi naman bago ito sa boxing, unfortunately. But part of the things that you have to deal with.”
