アイルランドの体操協会は２２日、大会後に保護者の１人から人種差別的な行動の指摘を受け、８月に解決していたとする声明を発表
On the 22nd, the Irish Gymnastics Association released a statement saying that after the competition, a parent raised a complaint about racist behavior, which had been resolved in August.
The official in charge explained that the medal was not intentionally thrown, and that they immediately handed over the medals to the athlete before she left the venue after realizing the mistake.
声明によると、職員は「悪意のないミス」について「深い遺憾の意」を表明し、選手と家族に直接謝罪したいと申し出た
According to the statement, officials expressed ”deep regret” for the ”innocent mistake” and offered to apologize directly to the athlete and her family.
After being refused, he apologized in writing.
これに対して選手の母親は先週、国内紙アイリッシュ・インディペンデントとのインタビューで、苦情は未解決で謝罪文も誠意がなかったと主張した
In response, the athlete’s mother claimed in an interview with the Irish Independent newspaper last week that the complaint was unresolved and the apology was not sincere.
母親は「体操の大会では私たち家族だけが黒人ということが多い」「パキスタンからエチオピアまでの８００万人が動画を見て不当な行為だったと理解しているのに、体操協会はそれを認めて謝ることができていない」と訴えた
Her mother said, ``We are often the only black people in our family at gymnastics competitions,’’ and ``8 million people from Pakistan to Ethiopia watched the video and understood that it was an unfair act, but the gymnastics association has acknowledged it.’’ ”I haven’t been able to apologize for this,” she complained.
Since then, the video has been viewed by more than 40 million people.
体操協会は２５日の声明で、「起きてはならないことだった」「当日以降の出来事がさらに混乱を招いた」と改めて謝罪した
In a statement on the 25th, the gymnastics association apologized again, saying, ``This should not have happened,’’ and ``The events that followed that day caused even more confusion.’’
