An unexpected incident occurred at the Olympics when a person brought cash while protesting to a match referee. While it is unclear why the protester wielded cash, it's speculated that this might be a symbolic act against corruption in sports. The referee, the protestor, and the details of the witness' reactions remain unknown. It's confirmed that the incident did not interfere with the rest of the competitions.

In Japan, such incidents are uncommon, especially in a public forum like the Olympics, known for sporting spirit and respect. Sports corruption is taken very seriously; thus, authorities are swift to investigate. The public cares deeply about fair play and integrity in sporting events, which makes this a significant story.

Like Japan, the US and EU prioritize the honesty and transparency of sports competitions. Any suspicion of corruption is rigorously investigated. However, public protests with a display of cash are rare. Usually, such issues are taken to courts or formally lodged with the conducting sports body.
