Skier from Cali spurned US Ski Team and joined China's Olympic Ski team
I'd be a little more surprised by this if she wasn't a high school kid whose life has been controlled by a helicopter mother from China. She didn't make this decision, her mom did because her mom saw how lucrative being a Winter Olympian could be in China versus here in America, where most people can barely name a handful of Winter Olympics stars. I don't agree with the decision, but let's not act like this is some young, independent woman making this choice.

Uh, hot.
Also a traitor commie.
But hot.
I do love how China thinks they kicked our arse because they bought a no-name (but hot) skiier and a bunch of NBA dbags.

It's pretty common for second tier US athletes who don't make the team to represent countries they have some ethnic connection to. The Greek Olympic baseball team last Olympics was made up almost entirely of Greek Americans, many of whom had never set foot in Greece before becoming Olympians. The fact that it's China, a rival and potential enemy, definitely leaves a sour taste though.
Yep. Hell, Mondo Duplantis, who was born and raised in Lafayette and competed at LSU now competes in the Olympics for Sweden. You didn't hear a lot of backlash on this board...even though I think it is equally as chicken shite as what this girl is doing. The ONLY difference is that she is competing for China.
Both are doing so because they believe they can be more marketable and earn more money competing for a foreign country. That is fine. That's their decision. But it is my opinion that you should at least have to have permanent residence in the country for whom you compete. She has no more desire to live in China than flying to the moon. Yet another product of America exceptionalism the otherwise useless Chinese just prefer to steal.

Well I don't recall many Greeks coming to the USA to escape communist Greece.

No. She was a hero for being the first black Japanese player
Yeah. Notable because the Japanese have such a warm and welcoming reputation for folks like her.
Meanwhile, she does BLM protests here while representing a less tolerant country in the Olympics. Good times.

, our boy Mondo turned his back on Merica too
Sweden puts a lot more funding into pole vaulting than we do, so it was more a decision regarding where he could get the funding to best optimize his talent. At least that’s what he says.

Did any US media call out Naomi Osaka for playing for Japan despite being raised in the US, not speaking Japanese and training in the US?
Osaka is the biggest hypocrite ever for embracing Japan and spurning America while also trying to be woke

Don’t care. I won’t be watching any of these Olympics.

There are a lot of people in SF that the CCP would line up against the wall.
Well ya. The problem is that they don't comprehend that fact, and will defend communist China as the greatest country in the history of ever! Compared to the most racist slave loving country in the history of ever, the US.
Did you know that slavery started in the United States?
(pay no attention to the Uighurs in the corner)
