Does Olympia champion deserve to be 'stoned'?

After winning the Road to Olympia 2024 laurel wreath, champion Vo Quang Phu Duc shared that "toughness and smart tactics" were the two secrets that helped him win.

However, immediately there was a lot of criticism aimed at her.

Why did people attack Vo Quang Phu Duc right after the competition? Is this too much for a 17-year-old student?

To add more perspective, below is the opinion of reader Nhat Nguyen.

After the student won first place in a knowledge contest on television, almost immediately, there was a lot of criticism aimed at him.

Thinking that the act of celebrating when the show has not officially ended, that the act of pressing the buzzer to gain the right to answer, taking away the opportunity of other contestants is petty and petty.

Many people even used extremely harsh words to "throw stones" at him, then insulted his family, school, and the place he was studying.

Those who regularly watch the above program will easily realize that what he did was completely in accordance with the program's rules.

Specifically, if a student cannot answer, the remaining students have an equal chance to win, whoever is faster wins.

And this has been used by many students, over the years, to protect their leading positions.

In such a game, besides knowledge and luck, you also need daring, speed and strategy.

Children come to exchange, learn, compete, and demonstrate their knowledge. Why do adults keep judging and comparing?

In fact, this student was not the first and only victim.

Last year, the champion was also "cyberattacked" for directly responding to the host in his answer.

Or in 2020, another female student was also massively "attacked online" because of her celebratory actions, which were considered "excessive" and "inappropriate for a student".

At the age of 17, have we ever not been excited about our success? Have we achieved anything as impressive as these students at the age of 17?

And who forbids students at this age to express and reveal their emotions?

Nowadays, it's all too easy to sit behind a keyboard, type out our opinions, and then post them.

Just go to any content on social media and you will easily see many comments aimed at putting down and insulting others - people they have never even met.

"Cyberbullying" in itself is not acceptable behavior. "Cyberbullying" initiated by adults targeting a 17-year-old student is even more undesirable.

Please stop such "cyberbullying" behavior!
