Why are athletes not allowed to take pictures before the game?

In the Guangzhou Badminton Open which just ended at the end of June this year 165438+ 10, there was a scene in which Zheng Bo/Gauguin, the top seed of mixed doubles, was accidentally eliminated, and a photojournalist took pictures of them with a flash. Gao Kun reached out to block it angrily and said angrily, "During the game, the audience kept taking pictures with the flash, which made me unable to handle the reception several times."

Audiences occasionally use flash when taking pictures, but no one likes the frequent high-intensity flash in front of them. Star athletes are the focus of fans' attention, and it is not surprising that they are easily passed by. Flash will directly distract athletes and have a bad influence on their competition training.

Not only Gao Ying, but also other athletes are disgusted with flash. After a game, a fan asked to take a photo with Xie, and Xie agreed, but she made a request: "Don't use the flash." I don't know if this fan will cancel the flash mode or forget to cancel it. At the moment of taking pictures, the flash flashed untimely. Xie frowned, flashed a trace of displeasure on his face, and walked straight away without expression after taking the photo.

In fact, even athletes like Liu Xiang are often distracted by flashing lights during training and competition. Feng Shuyong, deputy director of the Track and Field Management Center, once said, "Our reporters want to get close to Liu Xiang, but every time they see Liu Xiang, they use a flash. It is difficult for him (Liu Xiang) to concentrate on training invisibly. "

Photographs and flashlights are not allowed in the stadium, mainly to avoid disturbing athletes and other spectators. So in the international arena, a kind of * * * knowledge has been formed-it is disrespectful to take pictures with a flash during the game. Before the start of many games, the audience will be reminded not to take pictures with flash through continuous broadcasting. Because athletes need to be highly concentrated during the competition, they are also under great psychological pressure. At this critical moment, the audience should hold their breath and watch, instead of holding up the flash camera untimely.

Sudden flashes often cause accidents.

In many competitions, the flash will not only affect the normal performance of athletes, but even in some sports, this flash will lead to the distraction of athletes and bring unpredictable consequences.

Figure skating is one of the dangerous events. In figure skating competitions, athletes often do some difficult moves, such as throwing and receiving in double skating. If the athletes are dazzled by the flash in the stands when doing these difficult moves, it is likely to be dangerous. In a training before the 2005 World Figure Skating Championships, a reporter broke through the closed training line and photographed Shen Xue/Zhao Hongbo who was preparing for the competition. This move distracted Shen Xue, causing her to fall heavily from the air and was immediately taken to hospital for treatment. Fortunately, there is nothing serious.

In addition, there are many strict rules on the golf course, one of which is that the camera of the audience can't use flash, the shutter can't have sound, and you can't speak loudly. In this so-called "gentleman's sport", there have also been incidents in which athletes were injured by taking pictures. At the Honda Classic of PGA Tour earlier this year, john darley, a professional golfer, heard a female spectator press the shutter while swinging the ball. Dali tried to stop the movement, and as a result, his movement was deformed and he pulled a muscle near his shoulder blade, so he had to quit the competition.
