Rio Olympics 2016: Team China News and Images

A class above the rest

The pedigrees

Apart from Zhang Chenglong, the rest of the Chinese Gymnasts enter Rio Olympics for the first time. Very very bright future for the young Chinese Gymnasts to carry on our proud heritage and be successful in Men's Gymnastics for many years to come
The Chinese Gymnasts cannot "three-peat" after winning gold medals in previous 2 Olympics

Zhang Chenglong, Captain of the Chinese Gymnastic Team dismounted from the Horizontal Bar after a brilliant delivery of a high risk but excellent execution of his repertoire

Best of luck in the coming Individual Events

Exactly. The more attacks, the more patriotic Chinese will be.


I use VPN to get access to Channel 7 in Australia since every sport channel only has local broadcast right for Olympics. You know how they introduce the update of medal tally?
USA, ::::::::::::::::: with 4*# million people
China, ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;, well, with 1.3&* billion people (very accurate number), with their eyes open bigger
Australia :::::::::::with only 24 million people
Sometimes, they will omit China, directly saying like "USA has the best performances with ^&% athletes". Then Australia blablah

This is why they lack critical thought. It's about team size. I just find it ridiculous to discredit or downplay those athletes achievements, dedication, training and hardwork. It's like "HURRRR those athletes only got gold medals because they come from a country with high population, not because they work and trained hard". Like sure, that's why India dominates the medal tables.

USA team size: 554
Australia team size: 421
China team size: 412

This is not about team size. This is about independent achievement and how important a nation see sports.

You cannot just send people to the Olympic, you need to be qualified for it, which means a string of competition and a string of selection, the problem is, for big country like China and the US, this is no problem, you got people, a lot of people you can choose, you have money to train those who were selected, but for a country that only have 24 millions people and about 1 trillion GDP, the pool we can select are small and the resource we can put in are also small.

Despite that, we still come on par with the big guy, that alone is an achievement.

Phelps vs India (from BBC)

The point made?

India sucks at Olympics, and we know that.

The point made?

India sucks at Olympics, and we know that.

Why?
Physical condition?

 

[Bussard Ramjet]

Why?
Physical condition?

Please try to understand that everything in the world doesn't come down to either genes, or race.

There are social, cultural, historical circumstances as well.

India is a developing democracy, and not many developing democracies who have grown via India's path have a good track record in Olympics.

As to why, is a very big lengthy different debate.

It's politics.
U really think they don't know the whole story?

Many people don't.

In fact the best source for this news has been western media itself.

Western Media is heavily decentralized. So you can find all kinds of people writing all kinds of things.

Here, two who tell the truth and what happened in detail:

I believe if the IOC dares to expand synchronized diving to 3- and 4- divers in different platform heights, our men and women divers can still emerge as top winners

A mistake by Chinese coach to put Mao Yi on the Matt routine may cause them a silver medal

 

[BoQ77]

China got 7 golds, rank no. 1 over USA now.
Well done
