    Chinese table tennis Olympic champion Chen Meng urged fans to appreciate the athletes' determination and approach competition outcomes with a balanced perspective, rather than focusing solely on the results.

    Chen, the newly crowned women's singles Olympic champion, made the remarks during an interview after China advanced to the semifinals of the women's table tennis team event at the Paris Olympics on Wednesday, while responding to a question about the recent crackdown by China's public security and cyberspace administration departments on illegal activities within sport fan communities.

    Chen herself faced much pressure during her women's singles final match against Sun Yingsha, as many fans on the stand showed favoritism toward Sun while booing Chen.

    A 29-year-old woman surnamed He was detained by the police for posting inflammatory and defamatory comments about Chinese athletes and coaches on Sina Weibo, following the table tennis women's singles final at the Paris Olympics, according to a circular released by the Beijing police on Monday.

    The arrest came after Beijing police received reports from the public about the posts, which were found to be harmful due to their malicious and false nature. The woman has been placed under criminal detention while the investigation continues.

    The case highlighted the authorities' efforts to preserve the spirit of sportsmanship and prevent the negative aspects of toxic fan culture from tarnishing the integrity of sports.

    Over 300 accounts and influential users that engaged in maliciously speculating about coaches and posting attacks against athletes following the women's singles table tennis final have been banned from posting, according to a notice by Sina Weibo on Sunday.

    Chen noted that while fans naturally wish for their favorite athletes to win, it is essential to understand that victories and defeats are inherent in competitive sports, adding that those who follow sports should be mentally prepared to handle these outcomes, as they are an integral part of any sport. Finally, she encouraged fans to appreciate and pay more attention to the athletes' perseverance, passion and resilience.
