But immediately, the champion of Road to Olympia was heavily criticized, many opinions said that Phu Duc's pressing the bell to gain the right to answer, taking away the opportunity of other contestants was petty and petty.
Some people even brought up the family and the school that Vo Quang Phu Duc was studying at to insult him with harsh words. Many of the "scolding" words were very harsh, so I will not record them here.
First of all, a student who makes it to the finals of this prestigious competition must be very good, not lucky as some critics say.
Every game has rules, Road to Olympia has rules, it does not prohibit contestants from pressing the bell to answer.
In the finals, all contestants are good, but good is not enough, they must be excellent. Excellence is knowing how to exploit the maximum of the player's rights as allowed by the rules of the game to achieve victory. Knowing when to "attack, defend", using reasonable tactics and strategies, seizing opportunities intelligently, that is excellence.
Those who think that the champion of the Road to Olympia later on is just a cheater, a dirty trickster, and a person who puts others down to succeed do not understand the rules of the game, whether in a game show or in real life. Not breaking the rules and taking advantage of every advantage to win is the real "master".
In a competition, the purpose of winning is not to give in. "Fair play" is not to give up medals or laurels, but to receive them with ability and intelligence along with luck, especially flashing "second-of-life" decisions. Vo Quang Phu Duc made the right decision to win, if not to praise, then why do they curse and "throw stones" in all kinds of ways?
The final round of the Road to Olympia 2024 also shows that Vietnam has too few playgrounds for students to challenge their abilities, through which they can not only accumulate knowledge but also train their courage. If there were more "games" like this one, the community's observation would also be different, not "scrutinizing" to the point of "splitting hairs into four".
No matter how big the playground is, it is still a "game". Fans love to watch, be excited, and cheer, because the contestants deserve to be praised, but don't expect too much that the place is full of outstanding talents. There are many young people who quietly "study hard" and become "talented beyond their years", but they don't play games.
