The Tokyo Olympics in Japan refreshed the world’s people’s new understanding of Japan. Not only did the referees have trouble with their eyes, they also messed up the venue. In the previous triathlon competition held in Tokyo Bay, some players were directly exposed to stinky water after the game.andIn the individual equestrian jumping preliminaries for the Tokyo Olympics held on the evening of August 3, several horses seemed to be frightened by the sculptures on the field.

It turned out that in order to promote Japanese culture, the organizers placed obstacles related to Japanese culture on the equestrian competition venues, including images of sumo wrestlers, geishas, ​​sushi, chopsticks, tumblers, and cherry blossoms.

A life-size sculpture of a sumo wrestler was placed next to obstacle No. 10. The sumo wrestler arched his waist and seemed ready to attack, with his face facing the direction of the horse.

Many riders complained, which seriously distracted the attention of riders and horses, and even some horses were so scared that they did not dare to move.

According to reports, many horses stopped when they approached this obstacle, causing the players to be deducted points and unable to advance to the finals.
