A TV station was forced to make a public apology after focusing on a fan's cleavage during coverage of a volleyball match between Turkey and the United States.<br/><br/>As defending champions Turkey triumphed in a 3-2 victory over the US, the camera cut to the ecstatic reactions of the crowd, relayed in slow motion for effect.<br/><br/>But it was their focus on one female supporter dressed in Turkey's colors that caused a backlash on social media, as several seconds of the woman jumping in jubilation was deemed too much for the intended audiences.<br/><br/>As the woman was reportedly forced to take her social media channels offline following criticism, Turkish TRT Spor released a statement blaming the coverage on its host broadcaster in the US.<br/><br/>They said an 'unwanted image' had appeared during the broadcast, blaming the 'disturbing situation' on the US. <br/><br/>'This image, which is completely contrary to our publication policy, originates from the US broadcaster, and the discomfort felt by this situation has been conveyed to the other party,' the statement read. <br/><br/>Fans erupted on Monday as Turkey prevailed in a hard-fought tie-breaker to overcome the Americans 3-2 in the FIVB Nations League.<br/><br/>As the crowd celebrated the victory on the pitch, the camera held its gaze for a few moments on the reaction of one fan dressed in all red.<br/><br/>The female supporter jumped on the spot, elated by the victory.<br/><br/>But broadcast in slow motion, critics in Turkey were offended by the woman's dress code.<br/><br/>The woman was sadly targeted by threats and insulting messages after the clip was broadcast, before being pushed to close her accounts, according to Turkish media.<br/><br/>With no mention of the woman or abuse endured, the broadcaster shared a press release on Monday after the game.<br/><br/>'We would like the public to know that the shooting and direction of the match was carried out by the US broadcaster,' the statement read.<br/><br/>They said TRT Spor and all other broadcasters using the US stream showed the images relayed to them 'without the possibility of intervention'.<br/><br/>'Therefore, this image which is completely contrary to our publication policy, originates from the US broadcaster, and the discomfort felt by this situation has been conveyed to the other party.<br/><br/>'TRT, in its capacity and responsibility as Turkey's public broadcaster, will continue to be a strong supporter of Turkish sports,' the statement said, wishing the Turkish team luck in their upcoming matches against Thailand, Dominican Republic, China, and Brazil later this month.<br/><br/>Not all agreed. One user on Twitter wrote: 'They should apologize to the real woman, why did they do it?' <br/><br/>Another said: 'She's happy to leave her alone'<br/><br/>But others thought the channel was right to 'apologise' for offending local sensibilities.
