(Central News Agency reporter Wang Chao-yu, Keelung 10th) The Keelung City Mayor's Cup Inline Speed Skating Championship commenced today, but some athletes reportedly did not receive medals. The Keelung City Sports Association today admitted to the oversight and has arranged to issue supplementary medals to 8 athletes on May 12th.
The championship was held today at the Nuannuan Sports Park speed skating rink, with categories for recreational and speed skating groups, open to kindergarten, elementary, junior high, and high school students. A parent interviewed today said that the website announced the event on the 4th, but upon clicking the file, found that registration had already closed on the 2nd. When calling the organizing unit, she was told, "There's nothing we can do, registration is closed," leading her to suspect under-the-table dealings.
Furthermore, the parent stated that while some award-winning athletes received certificates, they did not receive medals. The organizing unit responded, "Because you registered too late, you don't get one," and could only arrange for later issuance. She questioned why some people received medals and others did not, even though the event categories were fixed.
Tseng Kuan-cheng, former deputy spokesperson for the Keelung City Government and chairman of the Keelung City Sports Association's Inline Skating Committee, said in an interview that there were indeed administrative oversights and deficiencies in medal preparation for this event, and he would take responsibility for review and improvement. After committee staff discovered the shortage of medals on site, they immediately explained to the parents that 8 speed skating athletes had not received medals and that supplementary medals would be issued on May 12th.
Regarding the registration period, Tseng Kuan-cheng pointed out that registration was originally scheduled to close on the 2nd but was later extended to the 7th, with the aim of allowing more athletes to participate smoothly. The committee will also establish a Facebook page to make relevant information and announcements more timely and clear. (Editor: Li Hsi-chang) 1150510
