据报道，山下称：“（运动员）本人也不希望事情继续发酵”，并表示问题已经解决，金牌更换费用将由国际奥委会（IOC）负担。

It is reported that Shan said: "(athletes) I don't want things to continue to ferment", and said that the problem has been solved and the cost of gold medal replacement will be borne by the International Olympic Committee (IOC).

今年8月，河村隆之与东京奥运会夺金的日本垒球队代表会面期间，来自名古屋的后藤希友作为代表将金牌挂在河村的脖子上后，河村曾突然把金牌放入口中咬了一口。河村的举动随即遭到民众批评。民众纷纷表示，“新冠疫情防疫期间，不应该出现这种行为”“这一行为非常没礼貌”。不仅如此，日本的社交媒体上也批评声不断。

In August this year, during the meeting between Takayuki Kawamura and representatives of the Japanese softball team who won the gold medal in the Tokyo Olympic Games, Hiroyuki goto from Nagoya hung the gold medal around Kawamura's neck as a representative. Kawamura suddenly put the gold medal into his mouth and bit it. River Village's move was immediately criticized by the people. People have said, "during the epidemic prevention of COVID-19, there should be no such behavior" "this behavior is very impolite". Not only that, there is constant criticism on Japan's social media.

对此，河村隆之当时回应，之所以咬金牌，“是为了表现(对选手)最大的喜爱之情”，他还称，“如果因此造成了麻烦，那很抱歉”。

In this regard, Kawamura responded at that time that the reason for biting the gold medal was "to show the greatest love (for players)". He also said that "if it causes trouble, I'm sorry".
