Sports reporter Zhu Xiaolong recently violated regulations by participating in a live broadcast, where he made inappropriate remarks about Chinese Olympic champion Quan Hongchan.
Nanfang Media Group has promptly launched an investigation and announced on Thursday that they will handle the responsible individuals according to regulations based on the facts.
During a recent online livestream, Zhu described Quan’s behavior while showing her gold medal to foreign athletes as "eccentric" and "crazy."
Zhu stated, “She has always been an excellent diver, which is beyond doubt, but as a person, she may not be fully developed.”
He also noted that Quan cannot dive for her entire life, and remarked that her decision to start learning English is a positive development.
During the Olympics, a reporter asked Quan if she wanted to learn how to say “take it easy” in English, to which Quan responded that she did not need to.
