瑞士选手扬尼克·施瓦勒在米兰科尔蒂纳2026冬奥会其队获胜后,敦促世界冰壶组织允许更嘈杂的观众。他在Instagram上发布批评竞技场内“quiet please”标志的帖子。世界冰壶组织回应支持这种活力氛围,并指示组织者不再重复展示该标志。
争议发生在意大利科尔蒂纳冰壶奥运体育场的冰壶赛事期间。周五,瑞士男子队,由扬尼克·施瓦勒担任队长,以7-3击败捷克。比赛结束后,施瓦勒立即在Instagram分享了一张划掉“quiet please”图像的帖子。在说明中写道:“@worldcurling please stop (discouraging) the crowd from (being) loud, let them go nuts! It is what curling needs. Awesome atmosphere by the Italians.”nn该帖突显了该项运动传统中的分歧。冰壶长期强调安静精准,球迷通常仅在投壶后欢呼,并避免为对手失误鼓掌。然而,意大利观众带来了活力,包括雷鸣般的掌声、呜呜祖拉喇叭,以及Ricchi e Poveri歌曲《Sara perche ti amo》的齐唱。美国冰壶选手Korey Dropkin通过挥臂和大喊成功投壶后鼓励噪音。nn英国选手Hammy McMillan Jr.评论施瓦勒的帖子,质疑大屏幕上投影的“quiet please”。他后来对记者说:“They’re going to be loud all week. It’s actually quite a fun atmosphere for us as curlers... I think it’s what curling needs. They sound like Italian ultras!” Dropkin附和称,这种喧闹使本周特别,并营造了有趣的环境。nn世界冰壶组织澄清,该标志系体育制作团队因噪音投诉而张贴。作为回应,他们表示:“We have no issue with the noise and have asked the Sports Production team not to put it up again.” 他们直接对施瓦勒说:“Absolutely no issues from our side! We love the atmosphere and agree with Yannick it’s great for curling.”nn瑞士男子队保持2-0不败,包括8-3击败美国。施瓦勒与其妻Briar Schwaller-Hürlimann混双排名第七,也引起了对家庭挑战的关注,他们一岁的儿子River手持扫帚出现在场馆,获“Curling Baby”绰号。Briar表示:“I miss him very much. He still can’t understand why he has to leave his parents again.” 国际奥委会未在本次奥运提供托儿服务,不同于2024巴黎奥运。nnCBC记者Devin Heroux报道,许多冰壶选手分享施瓦勒对观众活力的看法。
