奥运会击剑运动员在领奖台下跪示威，可能会受到处罚

A US Olympic fencing champion took a knee on the podium at the Pan American Games — and now he may face disciplinary action.

一位美国奥运会击剑冠军在泛美运动会上的奖台上下跪，现在他可能面临纪律处分。

Race Imboden — who took home gold in the team foil event — knelt during the national anthem at the medal ceremony Friday in Lima, Peru, in what he saw was a protest over racism and gun control.

周五在秘鲁利马举行的颁奖仪式上，伊姆博登在国歌响起时跪了下来，对种族主义和枪支管制的抗议。伊姆博登在花剑项目上获得金牌。

“This week I am honored to represent Team USA at the Pan Am Games, taking home Gold and Bronze,” the 26-year-old competitor wrote on Twitter. “My pride however has been cut short by the multiple shortcomings of the country I hold so dear to my heart. Racism, Gun Control, mistreatment of immigrants.”

这位26岁的参赛者在Twitter上写道：“本周，我很荣幸能代表美国队参加泛美运动会，获得金牌和铜牌。”“然而，我的骄傲被我所珍视的国家的多重缺点所打断：种族主义、枪支管制、虐待移民。”

The U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee said Imboden’s protest violated guidelines that prevent its athletes from partaking in political demonstrations.

美国奥林匹克和残奥会委员会说，伊姆博登的抗议违反了防止运动员参加政治示威的准则。

“Every athlete competing at the 2019 Pan American Games commits to terms of eligibility, including to refrain from demonstrations that are political in nature,” the committee said in a statement Saturday. “In this case, Race didn’t adhere to the commitment he made to the organizing committee and the USOPC.”

委员会周六在一份声明中说：“参加2019年泛美运动会的每一位运动员都承诺遵守参赛条件，包括不能出现政治性的示威活动。”“在这种情况下，伊姆博登没有遵守他对组委会和美国奥委会的承诺。”

USOPC said it will determine whether Imboden — who won bronze at the 2016 Olympics — will be disciplined for the act.

美国奥委会表示，它将最后决定这位曾在2016年奥运会上获得铜牌伊姆博登，是否会因该法案受到纪律处分。

“We respect his rights to express his viewpoints, but we are disappointed that he chose not to honor his commitment,” the group said. “Our leadership are reviewing what consequences may result.”

“我们尊重他表达观点的权利，但我们对他选择不履行承诺感到失望。”该组织表示，“我们的领导层正在评估可能产生的后果。”
