蕭翔文巴黎帕運跆拳道摘銅 貫徹運動家精神

(中央社記者陳容琛巴黎30日電)台灣跆拳道好手蕭翔文在巴黎帕運男子K44級58公斤級摘下銅牌,替台灣代表團勇奪首面獎牌,他認為輸贏不是重點,只要與對手互相扶持,「就是運動家精神。」

從國小開始接觸跆拳道,蕭翔文一路拚戰到大學,沒想到卻在一次國手選拔前發生車禍,導致右手臂神經叢損傷,一度讓跆拳道國手夢碎。不過後來在因緣際會下,他以帕拉選手身分重回跆拳道賽場,更在去年杭州亞帕運拿下男子K44級58公斤級金牌。

如今攜手教練吳燕妮站上巴黎帕運殿堂,蕭翔文一路挺進男子K44級58公斤級的4強,可惜不敵以色列勁敵亞蘇爾(Asaf Yasur),無緣爭奪金牌,不過最後在銅牌戰仍以16比8擊敗西班牙選手畢雅羅勃斯(Joel Martin Villalobos),順利幫助台灣代表團進帳本屆帕運首面獎牌。

蕭翔文賽後接受媒體聯訪時表示,雖然沒有達到期望的金牌,但還是很開心拿到銅牌,唯一遺憾的是對戰以色列選手亞蘇爾未能即時調整好,加上一度以為電子護具出現感應不好的狀況,導致開始懷疑自己,進而變得沒有信心,「我覺得還是要把自己調整好,可惜沒辦法達到期望值。」

抱著放開來打的心態面對銅牌戰,蕭翔文透露,因為剛好是最後1場了,就是盡力表現,得到成就也是自己的,「我覺得全部歸零,想著說歸零重來,反正就最差就這樣了,努力爭取自己想要的成就。」

值得一提的是,蕭翔文在8強戰面對地主選手孔格(Bopha Kong),在對手不慎護齒掉落情況下,他還貼心幫忙對手裝上,蕭翔文認為,運動家精神就是這樣,做到的是互相扶持,而且不論輸贏彼此都是喜悅的,「因為這是運動會」。(編輯:楊昭彥)1130830
