據英國《衛報》報道,中國滑雪選手谷愛凌9日被問及特朗普對赫斯的批評時說:“我很遺憾,搶走奧運會風頭的竟然是這么與奧運會的精神毫不相關的事情。這真的與奧運會的宗旨背道而馳。”
"I'm sorry that the headline that is eclipsing the Olympics has to be something so ... unrelated to the spirit of the Games," said Gu. "It really runs contrary to everything that the Olympics should be."
她還說:“體育運動的意義就在于將人們團結在一起。它是為數不多的共通語言之一,它連接著人類的身體、精神、競爭精神,以及打破紀錄的能力,尤其是在我們這項運動中,它更是挑戰人類的極限。這難道不美妙嗎?”
She added: "The whole point of sport is to bring people together. One of the very few common languages, that of the human body, that of the human spirit, the competitive spirit, the capacity to break not only records, but especially in our sport, literally the human limit. How wonderful is that?"
谷愛凌還說:“我為這些運動員感到難過,我希望他們能發揮出最佳水平。”
據英國《衛報》、美國廣播公司(ABC)報道,美國自由式滑雪老將亨特·赫斯近日在2026年米蘭-科爾蒂納冬奧會開幕式前的一場新聞發布會上表示,當下代表美國參加冬奧會讓自己“情緒復雜”,并坦言“有些艱難”。美國總統特朗普8日對此作出回應,指責赫斯是“真正的失敗者”,并對其在發布會上的言論表示不滿。
US President Donald Trump said Sunday that it's "very hard to root for someone" like "loser" Team USA freestyle skier Hunter Hess, who last week told reporters that he has "mixed emotions" about representing the US at the Winter Olympics in Milano Cortina, Italy.
《衛報》稱,赫斯6日在新聞發布會上被問及,在當前美國國內形勢背景下——包括美國移民與海關執法局(ICE)在明尼蘇達州的移民執法行動及多起地緣政治危機——代表美國參加奧運會有何感受。
Hess was asked in a press conference on Friday what it was like to represent the US in the Olympics given the current situation in the country, which has included ICE raids in Minnesota and a number of geopolitical crises.
赫斯表示,“顯然現在發生了很多我并不完全認同的事,我想很多人也是如此。對我來說,我更多的是代表家鄉的朋友和家人,代表那些在我之前代表這個國家的人,以及我所認同的美國積極的一面。”“我身披國旗,并不意味著我代表美國正在發生的一切。”
報道稱,特朗普對赫斯這番言論明確表達不滿,將其解讀為赫斯“聲稱自己不是代表他的國家參加本屆冬奧會”。特朗普在其社交媒體上發文稱,“如果是這樣,他就不該參加國家隊選拔,很遺憾他進了隊。很難為這樣的人加油。”
"US Olympic Skier, Hunter Hess, a real Loser, says he doesn't represent his Country in the current Winter Olympics. If that's the case, he shouldn't have tried out for the team, and it's too bad he's on it. Very hard to root for someone like this," Trump wrote on his social media platform.
這一事件在社交媒體上引發網友爭議。有美國網友表示:“對于此刻代表美國參賽的任何運動員來說,處境都很艱難。”↓

還有網友對赫斯表示支持,“坦誠表達自己的感受并不代表你是個失敗者。體育運動中的心理和情感壓力是真實存在的,赫斯敢于發聲值得尊重。”↓

美國廣播公司提到,在同一場發布會上,美國自由式滑雪選手克里斯托弗·利利斯也就同一問題表示情緒復雜。“美國正在發生的事情讓我感到心碎。”利利斯稱,“我認為,作為一個國家,我們需要關注尊重每個人的權利,確保以關愛和尊重對待我們的公民以及所有人。”
At the same press conference, Team USA freestyle skier Chris Lillis also expressed mixed emotions in response to the same question.
"I feel heartbroken about what's happening in the United States," Lillis said, in part. "I think that as a country, we need to focus on respecting everybody's rights and making sure that we're treating our citizens, as well as anybody, with love and respect. I hope that when people look at athletes competing in the Olympics, they realize that's the America that we're trying to represent."
ICE人員上月在明尼蘇達州明尼阿波利斯市接連槍殺蕾恩·古德和亞歷克斯·普雷蒂這兩名美國公民。從“古德之死”到“普雷蒂之死”,在相距不到兩公里的地方,相隔17天,美國聯邦執法部門接連奪去兩條人命,引發美國國內大規模抗議甚至暴力沖突。
1月30日,美國多地民眾舉行“全國停擺”活動,抗議特朗普政府暴力移民執法以及聯邦執法人員在明尼阿波利斯市射殺兩名美國公民。活動組織者說,包括紐約和洛杉磯在內的至少300座城市舉行了抗議活動。
