I think the Chinese pair was actually the better pair here despite losing
I dunno why it's so hard to beat that TW team in the Olympics. Under normal circumstances they never get anywhere in regular season but they are invincible in Olympics
This is an extremely poor excuse for people using men in the women's divisions. There is no meaning to "born naturally as a female." A person with an XY genetic makeup is a male; if he doesn't look like a male, that is because he has a disorder (Swyer, androgen insensitivity, etc...) that makes him less masculine than a normal male. But in this case, he is still far more masculine than women. If the delivering doctor called this a female, it is because no genetic testing was done, thus resulting in an erroneous call.
Already addressed. The female gymnastics team realized after their horrifying team performance (7th place?) that their training is antiquated. They can no longer rely on young and light athletes who retire at 20 but must train well-muscled and robust athletes with much longer careers. They are planning on the overhaul; we will wait for those results in a few years but it can't be that fast unfortunately.
I'd rather lose a gold to the US than to them but somebody tell me what anthem plays in this instance. When Hong Kong wins, it is the Chinese anthem.
I honestly don't like this Olympics. It feels like a repeat of Tokyo except worse. A lot of the medalists are the same people as last time. This time is more painful to watch for China because their performance is kinda like Tokyo but worse.
38 golds? We didn't do poorly in Tokyo and this time we're going to Europe, so it's going to affect us more than in Asia. Enjoy more, don't be so down.
Dude who doesn't look like he works out fell twice on the high bars. It happens; it's sports. You can't really have any expectations when it's based on how a few individual people do on a given day. It happens to everyone all the time.
Very defeatist. While likely we can lose but it's not certain and we can still watch with optimism. China's not the only one underperforming as I said. The US has 6 golds in swimming compared to 11 last time and there are only a handful of events left. The US set a WR in the heats of the 4x100 mixed only to get run down by a white girl in the last 10 meters. They talked about ShaCarri Richardson (or however that's spelled) being the fastest woman on earth; she got beaten by a person from a country smaller than your local Walmart. It happens to everyone but we take it so hard when it happens to us.
China's doing worse in these Olympics because they're hosted in Europe, not Asia.
You can turn your argument around because I can ask why then does team USA do well in the Americas, Europe and East Asia, like the setting doesn't matter to them.
