ioc president thomas bach is either naive, greedy or beholden to the ccp.
Imo, the last two possibilities are the most likely.
The thousands of screaming fans are amazing....
Oh wait...
Of course they know. I would be ashamed to admit I was supporting the worst country on the planet.
I watch but only for the hockey and biathlon. I’d very much like to see Team USA win any medal in biathlon. it’s the only winter sport that we’ve never medaled in.
Snowcross is cool too - but I don’t care much for the rest of it.
China’s Olympics flop? Viewership down, fallen skater booed, and Putin ‘dozes’, Athletes starved
The Olympics. Ratings are down. Being held in China. You could say the ratings are upside down.
so goes the rumor.
Unsolved Mysteries reruns on Roku.
I can’t believe how China has recruited Americans and maybe others of Chinese ancestry, to compete for China. The girl who fell down on the ice was an American who for some reason decided to compete for China. I never heard what was the inducement to do so? I think she was given Chinese citizenship? But is it worth it to be a Chinese citizen, to go ice skating for a few days and bring honor to China in sports? What else is involved here?
Before that time I was getting bored with the Olympics yet watched some of the sports, hockey being my favorite. Once the US pros were allowed to participate I stopped watching everything except the Women's Ice Hockey. I abandoned that at least three Olympics ago and forgot they were on until I saw headlines about the atrocious viewership numbers.
What else is involved here?

Money.
Both her parents apparently are Chinese, whom. I guess one or both were either green carded or naturalized. The dad is supposed to be an AI researcher who went back to work for the CCP/PLA on AI. China’s AI research, like its Precision Medicine research, is the largest in the world - with far more money than anything the US has put into place by orders of magnitude.
Mainland Chinese are obsessed with money, so its reasonable to believe her dad lined the whole thing up with Party officials for money and for her propaganda value - which is huge as part of the CCP’s campaign to convince the world of the correctness of the CCP form of government and China’s superiority, especially of the Han people’s superiority over all other races.
The Big Air skiing competition seems to be taking place in an industrial area next to a nuclear power plant, or cooling towers that look like those at a nuclear reactor. Very odd, sad and funny.

Should have painted the cooling towers a nice red and gold................
They could have painted them
