I watched the race. He deliberately left his leg hanging there. In that split second to react and avoid injury, Wu wasted time and could be in top 2. Missed the final as a result. I think he probably won't get gold but would have medalled. Real shame and disgusting move by the korean. Their silver Medalist in the men's 500m speed skating also deliberating made a sweeping movement during the medal ceremony as if implying china is dirty. Koreans are bad losers.

Nathan Chen's father is from Guangxi but his mother is from Beijing. In addition his father was already a doctor in China, immigrated to the US in the 1980's (so one of the earliest and most privileged immigrants) and is the president of a pharmaceutical company.

Yeah but luge for example is timed to the thousands of a second 0.00X. Sometimes you win to the 0.006 second. Not kidding.
In this case every advantage counts. You can pay your Indian $5, I'll use the supercomputer.
When the competition is down to thousands of a second.... you want the very best sled.
Not tenths of a second or hundreds of a second man... Crazy
That's strange. If her dads influence is very important, I would think he would ask her to represent his native country of Romania. Especially as their women's tennis program is quite successful and at an all time high in recent years with former world no 2 halep, top 50 cirstea and a few others I forget that are quite highly ranked. Unless he feels UK can get her more endorsements and less competition.
Probably will be big decision. I think the rules to switch country representation will require the athlete to not be able to compete in international competition for a period of time.
LOL I was watching this race and didn't realize he was dead last. The comments on the cctv app mentioned he was basically just there for a holiday lol. The last guy to come out to ski was from Jamaica. I thought this guy most likely would finish dead last. Imagine getting beaten by an alpine skiier from Jamaica.

I'd venture the Romanian domestic market is not more advantaged than the UK, and both mommy and daddy Raducanu moved to the UK when Emma was 2 yrs old for a better life.
L(Mao) that's hilarious and sad at the same time. Respect to the Jamaicans for fielding a bobsledding team back in the day, coming from a small and poor tropical island, Olympic spirit right there.
And they made a movie about that. Cool running was one of my favourite fun movie to watch when I was growing up. A tad condescending though but quite funny..
