But for what it's worth, Watanabe is willing to give Jong the benefit of the doubt in this scenario. Speaking to Yahoo Sports – which erroneously identified him as skater Ryosuke Sakazume – Watanabe said he doesn't believe Jong was purposefully reaching for his skate, and noted that collisions are par for the course in speed skating.

"I believe it was unintentional," he said. "His hand happened to be by my skate as he fell down."

This was Jong's first and only Olympics event. Watanabe and Huang Daeheon on Korea went on to qualify.
