Fun fact: Tomokazu Harimoto, the guy who Fan Zhendong beat, is ethnically Chinese. His Chinese name is Zhang Zhihe. His parents immigrated to Japan from Sichuan.

I watched that match, and that Harimoto guy just gave me that Japanese character in a Chinese movie vibes. The kind who his superiors sent to terrorize / bully the defenseless chinese, but would then squeal pathetically when put in an arm lock by the Chinese hero.

That Harimoto guy gave this vibe the whole match, when he screams after winning a point, or his facial expression when grunting while hitting a return.

I thought to myself, no way he's going to win against Fan Zhendong.

Chinese media and Olympic committee need to bring attention to these type of articles. When the Western media uses racist terms you have to hammer them. This is the equivalent of saying the n-word for black people.
The Chinese media for certain won't. They maybe superficially mention it, if we are lucky. Making the Chinese as apolitical as possible has been one of their core missions. People who decide such things in China are all old and are still traumatized by the Cultural Revolution. In my opinion, they aren't doing a good thing, neither in practice nor morally by hiding the hostility. When the Western hostility towards the Chinese becomes well known in China expect the pendulum of public opinion to swing to the other side fast. And it will happen because of the said people's decisions.

We have boxers in the semifinals (although 2 of the ladies will have to fight intersex fuckers, basically half dudes that made the other girls quit and cry and are rejected by regular non-woke boxing).

Unsurprisingly, biological males have an advantage over their biological female counterparts. Match only lasted 45 seconds.

See the thing about this fucker and the one from Taiwan is that they're not real males... and they're also not females. So either you make them fight men and they get tossed around like rag dolls or you let them fight women and they toss those girls around like ragdolls. They really need their own category except there's not enough of them to make that happen and thank goodness because we don't need 3 gender medals of every color for every comp.

Yup, agree.

Remember that time when France hosted the World Cup?

It came down to Brazil versus France in the final game.

The best player in the world at that time Ronaldo, was not himself.

Some people suspected he was food poisoned by the French hotel/restaurant.

Incidentally, okay I do not really remember, there was this games or event where the Chinese team brought along their own food and cooks. China got criticized for that, but that was what they did. That was the right decision.

Sometimes it is just better to prevent misunderstand.

How do make sure the ingredients are safe and clean?

How come Fan Zhendong needed so many sets to beat this harimoto guy? Fan is the only Asian in the semi finals. He should be very careful.
