直擊里約奧運(yùn)：領(lǐng)獎(jiǎng)臺之外的趣聞軼事

...while in wrestling, coaches throw a stuffed toy ...
可是在摔跤比賽中，教練們抗議的方式竟是丟個(gè)毛絨玩具

Vinicius, the Olympic mascot of uncertain species (he looks a bit like a cat, but is a "a mix of different Brazilian animals", according to organisers) has made several appearances during wrestling matches.
維尼休斯是本屆奧運(yùn)會的吉祥物，他來自某個(gè)未知物種（他長得有點(diǎn)像貓，但據(jù)巴西奧組委稱，這是“巴西幾種動(dòng)物的結(jié)合體”。）維尼休斯頻頻現(xiàn)身于摔跤比賽場上。

According to USA Wrestling's rulebook, coaches can contest a referee's decision by throwing a "soft object". When this happens, the action stops and a jury of appeal reviews the video evidence.
根據(jù)美國摔跤比賽規(guī)則手冊，教練可以用丟“柔軟物體”的方式表示對裁判裁決的抗議。當(dāng)教練作出這一行為時(shí)，裁判員將擱淺裁決結(jié)果，并由陪審團(tuán)回顧比賽視頻，找出誤判證據(jù)。

During previous competitions a foam brick has often been used, but it in Rio it was Vinicius.
在以往的比賽中，教練一般會拋泡沫磚表示抗議，但在里約奧運(yùn)會中，教練拋出了維尼休斯。

Stuffed animals have been employed for this purpose before - at the 2014 World Championships in Finland, it was a toy bird from Angry Birds.
毛絨玩具在以往的比賽中也曾派上用場——在2014年芬蘭舉行的世界錦標(biāo)賽中，教練們以拋“憤怒的小鳥”毛絨玩具表達(dá)對比賽結(jié)果的疑議。

Not everyone is convinced, though, that this use of the Olympic mascot adds to the dignity and prestige of the sport. "I'm still wondering where Vinicius fits in the protocol," Jason Bryant, the announcer for Olympic wrestling at Rio, told Vice.
盡管如此，并非人人都覺得在體育盛事中以這方式對待奧運(yùn)吉祥物是件體面事。“我還在考慮該怎么在比賽議程里介紹維尼休斯的作用，”奧運(yùn)摔跤比賽的解說員杰森?布萊恩特如實(shí)告訴《Vice》雜志的記者。
