So that's what Belgium is. Retaliation for that⁉︎

China's disqualification of Sara Takanashi last night makes me think that China and the IOC must have hit the nail on the head when they conspired to harass Japan, which had practically boycotted the diplomacy. I thought that Germany and other countries must have been among the countries that boycotted diplomacy because Japan alone is too blatant, so I searched for other countries and found the following article.
[Jump] Germany's coach is furious 'It's like puppet theater' as four countries are disqualified - Ski Jumping - Beijing Olympics 2022: Nikkan Sports (nikkansports.com)
After that, athletes from Austria, Germany, and Norway were also disqualified, and there were disqualifications in four of the ten countries.
Germany's third place in the first round, Katharina Althaus in the women's race, was disqualified, leaving them in ninth place out of 10 nations and unable to advance to the second round.
Germany's coach, Stefan Horngacher, who himself competed in three Olympics, strongly condemned the event, saying, "For me, it's like puppet theater (a manipulated stage)," Reuters reported.
In a situation where multiple disqualified people have been disqualified due to violations of suit regulations, the director said, "The suit has been a problem throughout the season. I'm so crazy about it. It's very incomprehensible. It was a super jump." He mourned.
The following is from a tweet by Kumiko Takeuchi that I found last night.

Last July, the Belgian House of Representatives passed a resolution condemning "the danger of genocide in China" with an overwhelming majority of 125 in favor, 0 against, and 12 abstentions. It also condemned repressive policies against "ethnic minorities such as Tibetans and Mongolians, social and human rights activists, religious groups, and journalists," as well as the silencing of dissent in Hong Kong.

Belgium's Kim Meilemans, 25, tested positive for COVID-19 when she arrived in Beijing. Still, after three days of quarantine and two consecutive negative tests, she was put in a car, thinking she could go to the athletes' village. Still, she arrived at a different quarantine facility.
