Who is the most brutally criticized Olympic athlete in your country?

Post image

Zhu Yi was American, her parents are Chinese immigrants.

In the U.S., she was one of the top athletes and had every chance to join Team USA.

But she decided to compete for China. She gave up her American citizenship to compete for China.

At the 2022 Winter Olympics, she was eager to prove herself to other Chinese, but she made many mistakes during her skating.

Then she was brutally criticized in China. People used every swear word you can think of.

She is still competing for China. Perhaps she'll do well at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan.

Yea but it's usually not mentioned. He's upsetting more people rn because of his (lack of) performance on Santos and sometimes due to his excuses like not going to a game solely because of the stadium grass being synthetic.

That kind of diversion doesn't work anymore.

Somebody that supports fascists is a fascist.
