The American-born Chinese figure skater who gave up her US citizenship and changed her name to compete for the Communist country at the Winter Olympic in Beijing fell twice during the women's short program team event - to the scorn of many her adopted country.
Beverly Zu, 19, who changed her name to Zhu Yi, finished with the lowest score of the event at Beijing's Capital Indoor Stadium after she failed to land a jump and fell on the opening combination, and botched another jump later in her short program.
Skating to Paint It Black by The Rolling Stones, Zhu scored 47.03 after she tumbled on her first combination triple flip-triple toe-loop jump, crashed into the wall, and bungled her triple loop later in the set.
Her performance knocked China from third to fifth place in the team event.

Maybe she’s an American patriot after all.
the word for today is karma
China should just do us all a favor and keep those athletes who praised them. Don’t worry, we won’t miss them.
She’s a LOSER in every way.
No doubt she (or her parents) expected big promotional deals in China that wouldn’t be available to her in the USA. She also wasn’t good enough to make the US Olympic figure-skating team.
For 40 years, people like her (or her parents) could keep a foot in both USA and China, play both sides, and milk the relative advantage from both.
Now the ability to ride two horses with one ass is over. For such people, the time for choosing is here.
Wow, why are Chinese skaters so awful?
I think if she gave up her US citizenship and screwed up China’s standings, they are definitely going to keep her.
Enjoy eating bat soup you filthy Commie.
Why would we? She gave up her citizenship for China.
She gave up her US citizenship—don’t think the clunt is coming back. She can finish her career in a sock factory. But watch out for a Rio River swimmer packing a pair of ice skates?
Keep here there, but according to their social media they don’t want her there either.
She did just that. No fortune cookie for her.
Bet you thought I was gonna say tears!
In before Powers Boothe.
Oof
That’s a shame.
Good post. That is how I see it.
