Wow,good comeback to bronze,congratulations.

A bit disappointed about the results, this team is quite young, might have affected stability.
Anyway thanks bro!

Just another mess up.

Rio is a disaster.

What happened to your Men's 62 kg athlete?

It seems that now that this is the second time that a Chinese athlete has bombed out of the competition.

 

[CAPRICORN-88]

This particular Olympic appear to be rather dull and is lacking in comparison with all the previous Olympics.

What is happening?

Fear of terrorism?

Stop trolling. Don't mix Politics with Sport.

OK. Let me explain.
First of all its nothing to do with Asian or non-Asian sport.
It is not wrong to say that a particular country is dominant in a particular sport. Ping Pong is not originally a Chinese sport but Chinese are dominant in it.
Example - nothing wrong with saying Japanese are dominant in the car market.
I believe it is a matter of time that Asian will be good at swimming and track and field. Now, more and more East Asians are winning medals in Swimming.

What I am saying is that the Olympic is using laws to restrict sports where certain country are dominant in to reduce their medal count so as to preserve the medal counts of certain countries.
It is mixing politic with sports which is what I am highlighting.

Adding baseball with 2 events will not make any different but adding Wushu with 16 events will.

Korea have their Taekundo
Japan have their Judo
China yet to have anything. So why Wushu still not included.

Besides Wushu is cheap and popular all around the world. It truly meets the Olympic spirit.

Do you remember what I said in the first post?

Sport in the Olympic is about Intensity and popularity. Do you know what that means?

Judo is not just played in Japan or Korea, instead, Japan did not dominate the sport of judo, most gold medallist are from Europe/West in 2012 Games (3 from Russia, 2 from France, 1 from the US and 1 from Georgia) Compare to Asian Nation (Which have 4 2 from SK, 1 from Japan and 1 from NK)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judo_at_the_2012_Summer_Olympics

The question is, Judo is practice all over the world and people in the world are care enough to have a governing body to clearly define rules. That's why Judo were made a sport in the olympic.

On the other hand, how many country actually have professional Wushu league and how many country actually have a large pool of people practice wushu? To be honest, even UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) have more of a defining/Governing body than Wushu. While Wushu in the west or in the US are see as a way to better your mind and body, and look at it as a hobby. So, if Wushu can make it, why not UFC? So, if I said, we should make UFC into Olympic sport, what would you think?

If we include Wushu in Olympic, first of all, I don't see how the game could find 16 nation to complete to begin with. Second of all, it would simply pointless because there are no certain rules which can define who is a winner or who is not. (Don't forget, international sport also need international judge.) Third of all, it would not be fair to most other country in the world as this have no general interest in other country, beside China.

If we do that in the Olympic, that would simply mean making another "Eddie the Eagle" event in the Olympic.. We may as well just give the medal to whoever sign up with the competition. Why we need to compete for it then?

Do remember Olympic is an International Competition event, it have to generate enough interest to have a reason to call a event for it. It cannot simply be just because China is good at this and it have 14 event instead of 2, then it would be good enough to list it on the Olympic.

Remember 2008 Games? There are 47 participation nation on the Wushu Tournament Qualifier, 47 may seems a lot, but For most sporting event in the Olympic, they usually have 100 + nation participating in the event. and if you put it to minor event at the Olympic (such as BMX cycling event, which have 170 member in their FIM federation), so merely 47 nation is not enough, hence it was dropped after the 2008 Beijian Olympic..

Don't worry US will take China's heat, Swimming used to be western domain, now we dare to cross their line and challenge them in a fair competition, if China support our military as the way we support our athlete, we will faire no one.

Actually, how much has China invested in the swimming discipline for the Olympics and other types of sport since 2012?

ufc can't be in olympics, because everyone would fail drug test. the sport is infested with ped users and the ufc is protecting em

 

[ChineseTiger1986]

@Chinese-Dragon @ChineseTiger1986 what happened to your gymnasts(men),they are 6th at the moment in the team event?
They used to be top three.

I am done with the Rio 2016, perhaps the Olympics in the future.

The next Olympics is going to be even worse.

LOL sooooooo good to see the haters furious.

Makes the victory so much sweeter.

China should never backdown in swimming or anything else.

If China backs down, then the enemy has won.

You have to fight for your rights.
