The Taiwan Sports Administration announced yesterday that nationwide team athletes should abide by a new code of conduct to compete within the upcoming Asian Games in Hangzhou, China, in September.

The guidelines are being drafted in response to Taiwanese speedskater Huang Yu-ting’s (黃郁婷) seemingly unpatriotic behavior on the international stage.

Huang, who was the flag bearer for Taiwan at the opening ceremony, has drawn important flack from domestic audiences for her actions and comments made earlier than and through the Beijing Winter Olympics.

Prior to the video games, the two-time Olympian uploaded a video on Instagram of herself sporting the uniform of the Chinese speedskating staff at a training in Salt Lake City, Utah.

At the 1,500m speedskating race on Feb. 7, Huang told the Beijing Daily that she was touched by the audience’s enthusiasm, saying it “felt like I was competing at residence.”

Then after Thursday’s 1,000m race, Huang thanked her supporters on Facebook, saying “the comment section is now open for haters and trolls.”

She posted the same remark on the Chinese microblogging Web web site Sina Weibo, however added that “there are not any trolls within the comment section” there.

Notably, ติดตั้งโซล่าเซลล์ for ‘Chinese Taipei’ at the Olympics were surprisingly lacklustre.

She completed 24th in the women’s 1,000 metre occasion and just twenty sixth within the women’s 500 metre occasion — regardless of taking house the gold and silver medals for the same distances at the Four Continents Speed Skating Championships in Calgary, Canada, in December.

The Sports Administration says it’ll collect representatives from the Chinese Taipei Skating Union and the Chinese Taipei Olympic Committee to discuss Huang’s case and would decide whether she must be penalized within the subsequent few weeks.

Current laws don’t prohibit Taiwanese athletes from speaking freely on social media and carrying the uniforms of other nations in practice periods, and so usually are not grounds for disqualification.

The present guide for the national group doesn’t stipulate how athletes ought to behave and no steering is given in the course of the data session for athletes before worldwide competition..
