And from media it creates an opinion that swimming is a Western-only sport (I don't know what is the right word to describe, Western Bloc sport? :p), thus some people can't just appreciate when some "random" people outside that zone won too many gold.

 

I still remembered when I posted meme of Phelps-Cseh-Le Clos with the words "Cmon's Guys, Let's Go To School" when Schooling won gold in Rio 2016 and I got a few angry comments :lol:

 

The joke "Phelps got schooled" was also unwelcome by some people :dunno:

 

Try posting a meme "Sun got sMacked" on Chinese social media and then report back with the comments that you receive :p

Well he did, and it was awesome.

I have never seen people complaining when a Japanese swimmer wins gold.

Fu Yuanhui has become sort of an international phenomenon thanks to her personality and many "Western" people root for her.

I have seen people questioning Ireland's Michelle Smith's Olympic gold medals, and she is from Europe, not Asia.

You are trying too hard to make this a "West vs. East" issue when in fact it's a "doper vs. clean swimmers" issue.

This. So badly. I think I can safely say I'm not against Brazil, yet I can. Not. Stand. Cielo Filho. Nothing to do with country. And like almost everyone I despise Sun, but your example was excellent: Fu is fantastic and I strongly hope she wins gold.

Australian swimmer wouldn't share podium with Chinese winner accused of doping:yikes:

Mack Horton has received a warning for refusing to share a podium with China's Sun Yang to protest the gold medalist's doping history
