Pls no. They are still preoccupied with the "ongoing nuclear disaster" in China, and how CCP is covering up the "disaster" ala Soviet Union did with Chernobyl
2020/2021 Tokyo Summer Olympics
- Thread starter Strangelove
- Start date
There is a real flooding disaster going on in Henan. Why focus attention on a fake one?
Oh dont worry, they also focus on that. They still put some racism there.
"CCP let them die"
"Poor Chinese living under the CCP"
"If only they had a democracy"
Etc.
Hilarious
Democracy didn't save the 100 people from the Florida Beach Front condo, but I digress.
Let's get back to topic please.

There is a curse in Chinese weightlifting that any youngster who challenges Lv Xiaojun thinking that it's his time to shine over the old lion will be injured. Lv Xiaojun first became a sensation in 2009 when he broke the snatch and total world records at the Goyang World Championships in South Korea. He was 25. Young Lu Haojie challenged Lv Xiaojun in 2011 for the Olympic spot, snatching 175kg before Lv Xiaojun ever did! They both went to London where Lv Xiaojun successfully lifted 175 again and created new world recored. Lu Haojie was injured in competition (still silver) and never able to challenge Lv again. Then, in 2015, Lv Xiaojun was now 31 and past due for retirement in weightlifting. Youg star Su Ying beat Lv Xiaojun at the nationals saying that he's just getting started. Everyone thought Lv would happily pass the mantle. It was not meant to be as Su Ying suffered several training injuries and had to retire into a commerical Crossfit coach. Lv went on to Rio at age 32 and will be awarded the gold again once Kazakhstan's drug disqualification completes the legal paperwork. Everyone thought that would be Lv's retirement and Lv himself says he wants a replacement so he can retire. Enter Li Dayin, strong young rising star lifting more at each competition. Bright personality, a smile like the rays of the sun with every lift. Lv said that Li Dayin took the pressure off of him; now he can fail and be ok without letting the nation down. Everyone knew that Li Dayin would go to Tokyo and Lv was just playing around until his formal retirement. However, this relaxation caused Lv's training to improve and without expectations, Lv Xiaojun began to rise again. To beat him, Li trained harder and harder and a darkness overcame him. He no longer smiled and he no longer looked happy. Every lift came with a grimace of pain... Despite this, he could never beat Lv Xiaojun at a big international event. A few months ago, Li Dayin took the snatch world record at the Asian Championships with a lift that would would injure him, and Lv Xiaojun finished the competition victorious again. With the curse against those who wish to take up Lv Xiaojun's mantle before he's ready, 3 young lads have fallen to injury, often in competition, and Lv Xiaojun is headed into his third Olympic games as the heavy favorite for the gold.
Ok you win; you enjoy weightlifting more than me.

Thanks for taking the time and telling the stories for this athlete.
Every athlete competing in such a level has his/her own story of ups and downs and how they have to figuratively step on the "corpses" of their compatriots to reach the highest level of representing their country.
What an enjoyable and interesting post. Thanks again

The difference of expression between the North Korean Silver and the US bronze is hilarious.
Yup, the Americans stack the sports they dominate like swimming full of medals .
That's how 1 person like Michael Phelps can win 6 medals. They just need 1 talent to win all the "different" events.
Yes, I think there is a medal inflation in swimming but anyways it may work for other nations, too, find your talent!!
however, if it was up to me I would cut the number of events in half for swimming.
