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? ), 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

 

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

 

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

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.

Like every time Phelps lost

 

Too bad it didn't weaken the hype

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.
