Seeing a lot of positive things about Chinese athletes this Olympics which makes me happy to see. Sad I'm surprised by the lack of racism but a nice change for sure.
The happy selfie with the two Koreas and the PRC is one of the best moments
True, but there's also a lot of racism. An Italian fencer said he lost the gold medal match against a Hong Konger because the judges were favouring the Hong Konger because they were Asian.
And two Tennis players threw a hissy fit over losing against a Chinese player, Zheng Qinwen, who later won gold
One of the sore losers being a US nepo baby lol
That's interesting as I'm getting the complete opposite. I'm not following the Olympics directly because fuck the IOC, but any time the Olympics snakes its way into my news feed, it's articles about Australian swim coaches saying there's no way the Chinese won without doping vs rebuttals about how the Chinese team are tested 8 times more than Western teams, and quotes from Western athletes being butthurt about losing. The only Olympics news for me that hasn't been about Sinophobia was a couple of articles about swimming athletes getting hospitalized after drinking some Seine, and the IOC appropriating revolutionary aesthetics in their opening ceremony.
This hug was very precious too
