What a prick. Don’t ask.

The debate over Rirai Miura, 24, and Ryuichi Kihara, 33, who won the gold medal in the figure skating pair event at the Milan Cortina Olympics, is heating up.

On February 25, the two held a press conference at the Japan Press Club in Tokyo, where they were questioned by the media about their “relationship.

Miura responded.

We’re like a family.

I’ll leave the rest to your imagination.

The gesture of sharing their emotions with each other has led some foreign media to ask

Some foreign media reported that the two were “dating ……

The two were reported by some foreign media to be in a relationship. Based on this, questions about their “relationship” were posed by the media, but the question has been controversial on social networking sites.

In the world of comedy, Kazutoyo Koyabu (52) was asked about his “relationship” in a February 27 broadcast of Fuji Television’s “Shunkan Live Totto! on Fuji Television Network on February 27.

I think it’s a prickly thing to ask about relationships with athletes who have not yet announced theirs. I don’t need to ask.

He complained bitterly, saying, “I don’t want to hear about it. A reporter from a sports newspaper who attended the press conference told this website, “There were no specific questions that were not asked on the day of the event,

It is well-known that the two are too close, and when the moderator mentioned their relationship, the atmosphere in the hall did not become tense. Rather, it was filled with laughter. I was honestly surprised when I later learned that it was controversial.

I was honestly surprised to find out later that it was controversial,” he said.

Perhaps it is a sign of the times, but even questions that would have been unnoticeable 10 years ago, when social networking was not as popular as it is today, have become controversial in today’s society.

The sports newspaper reporter mentioned above said

The company has also told us to avoid flames. Under these circumstances, I am too afraid to ask questions in a bad way.

He frowned.

Gracie Gold and her affair with the press

Meanwhile, across the ocean in the United States, heterosexual reports about a “tragic figure skater” are pouring in relentlessly. Ilia Marinin, 21, was said to be the most likely candidate for the gold medal in men’s figure skating. She finished the Olympics in 8th place, missing out on a medal by placing 15th in the individual free skate. Behind this was the pressure of winning a gold medal at her first Olympics, and she suffered a mental breakdown.

Even in the U.S., there were initially sympathetic voices for Mullinin. ……

But even in the U.S., people were sympathetic to Mullinin at first,” said a figure skater. As soon as the competition was over, reports of her relationship with South Korean figure skater Lee Hae-in began to circulate.

The U.S. media outlet Sports Illustrated reported that the two appeared together at a cat café in Milan. Lee Hae-in is rapidly gaining popularity in Korea for her adorable looks. The news of her love affair with Malinin, the “god of the quad” was received with surprise.

Both are single. So far, so good. Recently, however, rumors of the existence of another woman began to circulate.

The U.S. media “Big Read” reported in detail on the “unusual relationship” between Malinin and Gracie Gold, who won the bronze medal in the team competition at the Sochi Olympics in 2002. A video of Marinin and a blonde dancing closely together in a club was leaked on the Internet, and it was later revealed that the blonde was Gold.

Gold just last year publicly announced his relationship with Nam Nguyen, a former Canadian figure skater. Although the true relationship between Gold and Malinin is not known, the affair has immediately attracted attention in the U.S. as a cheating scandal between Malinin and Gold.

Malinin was reportedly dating the daughter of a Russian figure skater who immigrated to the U.S. during the Olympics. She, Lee Hae-in, and Gracie Gold. After having three affairs with three different women in a short period of time, even fans who had previously sympathized with her are now beginning to have doubts about her behavior.

Unlike in Japan, in the U.S. gossip flies around without regard to whether it is about celebrities or politicians. Whether one is better than the other, there seems to be a big difference in the attitude toward news reporting and the people who tolerate it in different countries.
