Apparently the Asian Games are being censored in the West for some reason...
S.Koreans and Japan are not HWHITE enough for you? Racist.
Chinese women gymnastics team was never a powerhouse like Chinese men gymnastics team has been. Women gymnastics has been dominated by SU and East European nations until the downfall of SU. In recent decades, the US and Russia have dominated except Beijing Olympics.
LOLOLOL
well I don't know what the issue is with chinese womens gymnastics. I mean gymnastics has a strong tradition in China. and we got 1.4 billion people to choose from. you'd think China would be stronger in this discipline.

There was a female south Korean judo athlete who accidentally clawed her opponent in the face and was subsequently disqualified. They are certainly having an interesting meet
they are weak in vaulting and floor but strong in uneven bars and balance beam.
Could be cuz the leaders prefer to concentrate on these two disciplines as they have much better of gold. Also I suspect Chinese girls are chosen based on the physiques that favour UB and BB.
WEI Xiaoyuan is current two time world champion in UB. China womens traditionally quite good in BB too but this event is very high risk. A error of 1 or 2 inches and you fall off the beam, that’s your gold gone.
The all around event is basically a non starter for rest of the world cuz US came out with a freak athlete called Simone Biles.
The team event was a mess for China last time , too many of them messed up their routine. It happens
yeah it’s not reported on here at all. But we have a small government funded tv channel called sbs that broadcast the swimming events live here. Only cuz Aus has a hard on for swimming. And some cycling events soon.
I find it interesting many of the top swimmers in China are from hangzhou or trained there. Is there a reason aside from hangzhou being a very rich province
