I just got back from China a couple weeks ago. But I'm not really seeing anything about it on China social media. My wife who's Chinese and following the Olympics doesn't even know who she is, only the other girl. China doesn't talk much about people not winning. They definitely don't cheer for Taiwan.

Yeah they only care if they win gold. Theres a large outdoor screen setup yesterday at taikoo mall for pingpong championship but theres not much people watching. Maybe because of the heat? In wechat they show unfair and disrespect towards chinese swimmers but never did they report previous doping issues.

I don't know. Once I hit a shot so solidly that it made it off 2 walls, around 3 pylons, across the bridge over the bubbling brook, up the narrow ramp, and past the windmill for the free play...PLUS it hit with enough force it bounced back and hit the windmill FROM THE OTHER SIDE, and went back through, and so I got TWO free plays on one single shot.

One. Single. Shot.

Epic.

Is it skill or luck?

I guess it's mostly skill. Short track with handful of pylons to circle around or slalom. Four competitors in the track at same time, lot of mano y mano kinda fights too, when there's two kayaks at the same time approaching to go around a pylon. Who gets first at the first pylon, is usually winning the heat, or is at least second.

I dunno its a bit like destruction derby, I think they should put a ram on the front and they should have to sink each other like its ancient sea warfare.
 
The best Olympic moment this weekend was watching the Turkish man shooting a pistol. Everyone else had fancy tech and were taking it so intently, while this older guy just walked up, put the other hand in his pocket and let shots fire so casually. He even won silver. It was like a bunch of high tech assassins vs a casual John Wick.
