What an idiot. VPN’s are banned and NOT available in yhe app store.

Poor, empty-headed mouth piece.

Others called for people to be more understanding of Gu’s situation, given that she only recently took up Chinese citizenship. “I think and guess that’s what she really thinks. After all, she is just a foreign guest.”

"Sorry, folks, for comparing Dachau to 'a hotel at Cap d’Antibes.' You've got to understand: I only recently took up German citizenship, and so don't really have this 'Nazi' thing completely down, yet!"

Regards,

Some good news: Gu Eileen won only silver in an event in which she was favored to win gold. She fell in one of the placement rounds. the best would be Gu missing out on the podium altogether, but failing to win gold is the next-best outcome.

[ New York Times excerpt]
Eleven freeskiing finalists took turns trying to navigate the slopestyle course, which has proved itself a formidable foe during these Winter Games.

The series of rails and obstacles followed by three sets of big jumps, all built in snow in a manner to evoke the Great Wall, has both dazzled and befuddled some of the best skiers and snowboarders.

But on another frigidly cold and clear day at Genting Snow Park, Mathilde Gremaud, of Switzerland, outperformed all the others, including Eileen Gu, who was hoping for another gold medal.
