ARD-kommentator undskylder upassende bemærkning om kunstskøjteløber

ARD-kommentator for kunstskøjtning Daniel Weiss har undskyldt for en kontroversiel bemærkning om forholdstatus for den georgiske kunstskøjteløber Anastasia Gubanova. Den 57-årige kaldte sin kommentar «absolut upassende» og fortrød den kritik, den vakte. Atleten havde opnået personlig rekord i det olympiske kortprogram.

Under det olympiske kortprogram tirsdag aften kommenterede Daniel Weiss, da Anastasia Gubanova forlod isen og ventede på sine point: «Gentlemen derude, jeg er ked af det, hun er desværre taget. Gift med en tidligere finsk kunstskøjteløber.» Den 23-årige georgiske kvinde, der scorede personlig rekord på 71,77 point, blev anklaget i et Instagram-indlæg for at være reduceret fra subjekt til objekt. Indlægget fremstillede hende som «Wifey Material» («wife material») og havde indsamlet over 146.000 likes inden torsdag eftermiddag. Det lød: «Hun ses ikke som en atlet i dette øjeblik. Hun vurderes som en potentiel partner.»</n/nI en erklæring til RedaktionsNetzwerks Deutschland (RND) torsdag sagde Weiss: «Absolut upassende. Undskyld.» Han understregede, at han havde kommenteret Gubanovas atletiske præstationer med fuld værdsættelse før og efter bemærkningen. Hans stil indebærer at inddrage information om atleterne, mange af hvilke han kender godt. «Den her gang gik det desværre galt», sagde den 57-årige, tidligere kunstskøjteløber og tysk mester i 1990 og 1991.</n/nTorsdag aften kommenterede Weiss igen for ARD kvindernes frie program, som startede kl. 19. Anastasia Gubanova gik ind i medaljeafgørende fasen på sjettepladsen, mens den japanske kunstskøjteløber Ami Nakai førte med 78,71 point.
