Should the athletes be representing a country were they don't live anymore and where they were sometimes being threatened just because it's their birth place? Now, that is for me even weirder.

@johnqpublic40122 ай бұрын
I don't know where you grew up here in the States, but there are a boatload of sports not readily accessible to most kids. Either the schools or local regions lack certain sports entirely, or the cost of access (facilities, gear, training, etc) is simply too high for most families to afford. It's just the way it is. Nothing to do with "freedom" unless you mean financial freedom. Lei is not entirely accurate. Gyms with decent equipment and pools can be found all over China. The vast majority of people simply cannot afford access. You're not going to see a family surviving on 1500 rmb (~$210 usd) per month dumping money into health club memberships. Any disposable income would go toward instrument lessons; math, science and English tutors; exam prep, etc. As far as elite athletes, how/where they train depends on their sport. We have multiple dedicated Olympic facilities around the U.S. Some athletes choose to train in their own locations with their own coaches, and others train at these facilities. I suspect the CCP takes it to the extreme and requires its athletes to train only under its watchful eye at approved facilities. [EDIT: I should mention that many of the previously mentioned health club chains, gyms and pools have closed in recent months due to the deteriorating economy in China. Many of the people I know who had annual memberships simply lost their money -- unrecoverable. The companies would close up shop--some literally overnight--and the owners would disappear with the money. Employees and members found out the next day when they showed up to locked (and sometimes emptied) facilities. That, or they went bankrupt due to over-expansion/over-supply. So, while there are still quite a few facilities available, they're not nearly as widespread as in recent years.]
@MrBlaxjax2 ай бұрын
I think it’s the same story everywhere. But China is an odd country. Kids are in school all day (and practically all night) and sure there are compulsory exercises but on the whole access to sports facilities is limited and not least because most youngsters spend all their time studying. In western countries hobbies and sports are encouraged. I don’t mean that all sports are easily accessible but in my country typically kids will go swimming, play soccer and have access to some kind of gym at the very least. And if you show talent then ways and means will be found to draw out that talent. In China I believe that the athletic kids are sent off to boarding schools for intensive training aimed at one thing. It’s a fairly brutal system that really has nothing to do with developing the children. It’s all about the glory of China. Edit: sorry just watched the vid thru and this idea of the kids being placed into seclusion is highlighted.

Many people don't understand If you have a person who's really strong and worked so hard persuading their ultimate dream that person is full of adrenalin, specially a sportsman, and even much more when someone is on doping. Putting a lid on the pot to avoid escaping the steam makes it force to explode. I am sure her adrenalin went even higher when everybody start boo her. That made her stronger because of the anger inside. She knew If she would have let win the other she needed to defend herself to other people for the rest of her life undermining her pride. I am sure her coach always keep repeating what she must do made the anger only worse and the booing was only the cherry on the cake to raise her adrenalin sky high.

Wang Liping won the inaugural 20km walk in Sydney in 2000. But she was not supposed to win. She was there to pace the Chinese favorite. In protest, the entire Chinese team withdrew from the event including from the stadium but did not tell her. When she won the gold, no one from her team was there to congratulate or hand her a flag. The Australians seeing her alone celebrated with her.

Winning 6-8 gold medals swimming in one Olympics is doping. And you know the guys.

Many US Olympic athletes also hold-down full-time jobs because there's no government program to support them. And if their sport isn't popular, they don't get corporate support -- so they have to pay their own way to the Olympics and qualifying events.

This feels a bit reminiscent of the Olympics medal races in the 1970s, when the Soviet Union and East Germany led the medal counts over the U.S.
