A New Zealand kayaker made the semi-finals of the men's slalom at the Olympics despite being given a two-second penalty by his mother who is a judge at the games.

新西兰一位奥运男子皮划艇激流回旋比赛选手昨天闯进了半决赛，但在比赛中，他因犯规被身为裁判的母亲罚时两秒钟。

Mike Dawson touched gate five when going down the 18-gate Olympic course on Sunday, and his mother, Kay Dawson, did not hesitate to penalise（惩罚） her son. It was one of two two-second penalties Dawson received, but he still advanced to Wednesday's semi-finals.

Dawson joked that he was tempted¹ to get his coach to put in a protest "about that particular judge".

It would have made dinner time at the Dawsons' even more awkward（尴尬的） . His coach is father Les.

"That would've had all sorts of ramifications²（分枝，分叉） after the Olympics and besides, I like mum's cooking too much!" Dawson said.

Dawson added that Kay's penalty "definitely dispels³ any hint of bias⁴ and I wouldn't have it any other way".

"Fortunately it was definitely a genuine touch and, of course, she called it right, as I'd expect her to," he said, "though I'll be trying my hardest to keep mum unoccupied in my semi-final run."

Dawson qualified⁵ eighth of the 15 kayakers who made the semi-finals. The 25-year-old Dawson is at his first Olympics, while his mother is at her second after officiating at the 2008 Beijing Games.
