Figureskating-China's U.S.-born Zhu inconsolable after team event flop

[Hamartia Antidote]

Her parents really did her in, but I guess better to see it like it is then to find out later. She can now come home and rebuild her life.

That computervision dad of hers may end up becoming a US citizen too. I'm sure he'll start feeling the flak at Peking University

I think the deal is that he stays in China for her daughter to have a chance at the Olympics. He sold his soul for his daughter’s Olympic opportunity.

Seriously, the attack on Zhu by Chinese neitzen is not about her but more on China sports authority who pick her ahead of more talented Chen HongYi. Is she pick becos of her father and US background? Rather purely on her sport capabilities? Chinese neitzen feel unfair for Chen HongYi and Poor Zhu become their venting targets especially she indeed perform not as good as expected.

Chinese neitzen response maybe too harsh but I think China sport authority this time screw up big time with their wrong selection.

China has 1.4 billion people and yet they need to recruit from abroad

I can understand small Arab nations doing that even Canada

But China the most populated nation on earth

China does have 1.4 billion people, but China is a country in a temperate region. Winter sports in China are not developed, only a few thousand of us have played ice hockey. There are fewer Chinese people who have seen ice hockey matches than professional Canadian ice hockey players.

Well her future is not going to be bright in China when almost the entire country looks at you with scorn.

On social media almost every single comment is supportive. 800+ comments on Sina, scrolled through a few pages, not a single one bashing her.

Chinese don't treat our athletes like Simone Biles.

Even with 1.4 billion people, there are still obscure sports that very few plays or even heard of, like cricket.

Seem like Eileen Gu agree with you, and correct the western media misinformation on Twitter.

"almost the entire country looks at you with scorn"? Who told you? BBC&NBC?

No Asian should represent the anti-Asian countries US/UK/Australia/Canada.

If you were born in any of these countries, you should compete for the country of your ethnicity.

I thought a Chinese cricket player defected to England?
