Ye shiwen's performance has surpassed by Hosszu for many times. What's the point of obsessed with the conspiracy? If we judge athletes by tabloids then why we should sponsor WADA any longer?

Its facts. Shiwen's time was faster than the greatest MALE swimmer of all time. https://www.smh.com.au/sport/faster-than-phelps-chinese-girls-mighty-finish-is-the-talk-of-the-games-20120730-23a6w.html.

I hope Tibet will be able to participate in the olympics as an own NOC in my lifetime.

Very likely happen if you persist protesting in front of China embassy in your country. Success belongs to the persevering. Come on.

Lets not forget Yi Shiwen's performance in 2012 was clearly drug induced as well. Is it no surprise China increased funding to WADA? https://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1101523/wada-addiotional-gov-funding so Wada doesn't bite the hand that feeds it?

 

 

Sadly always there are better and worse countries/athletes which will be treat in different way as it should be done. As well all know there is no fairness in this world.

You don't have to quote these continuously. I know Ye shiwen's performance in 2012 is 4:28'43 and I know Hosszu's performance in 2016 is 4:26'36.

That's never going to happen. China is too powerful to allow that to happen.

 

Besides, if you like Tibet so much then Catalonia or the Basque Country should be competing at the Olympic Games too? Why do you give Spain a pass over them? :mumble:

I know it is not going to happen, I only have my hopes. And I support Free Tibet more because I really see a huge difference in the way China treats Tibetan nation if you compare it with Basque or Catalonians in Spain. So I wish them especially well.

but the real scandal is not the overall time over the 400m distance...it's the last leg (the freestyle one) that's "impossible" for a woman...:evil:

 

given the men's record, 4.28 or 4.26 for women is not so impressive (I'm sure those clockings are going to be beaten in reasonable time, too), but that last leg swum faster than Michael Phelps himself...c'mon! that's too much even for most naive people...

 

it's like those weightlifter lifting triple body weight...how could man pretend to believe that's done without any chemical help?

 

there are some sports performances that draw suspects from any side you watch them...and it's not a question of being Chinese, American, Italian or wherever one can come from...

    • Its a bit off top, but Turkmenistan also was only one country in the world without official case of covid 
    • In the USSR, when Stalin died, there was de-Stalinization but some of his monuments remained, although, for example, the names of cities were changed. I feel sorry for the people living in Turkmenistan or smiliar countries but what can be done? The USA could to introduce some civilized life in Afghanistan but this government was so weak that it fell a few weeks after the Americans left. It would probably be similar here.
    • I love to see more competitions but we had the highest level for 6 weights in Paris, non-Olympic events also needed a top tier competition for this year of 2024.   considering the fact that the IOC is shrinking the competition to just 16 per weight, it wouldn't that bad to have a full 10 weight competition for each style, giving the chance to everybody.   but we would see lots of big names not participating because of the Olympics (and the recovery time after that) so I think that was the best solution.    ps: if it was up to me entirely  I think 8 weights is good enough for men (6 is too less, 10 is too much) and all of them should be in the Olympics. but unfortunately it's up to King T. and his goons. 
    • I’ve only seen things related to the father of this current president. And not even much of that, everything had the face of the new one now.   but of course, I saw only what I was allowed to see , that is how things work if you want to visit it :-)
    • I wonder if there are any monuments to their first leader, who died in 2006, or has the latter taken over everything? 
    • now the leader is not that one, but his son (you’ll see him in one of the photos I shared, in the tv. His face is everywhere as it happens in any country with cult of the leader).   and yes the story is true, in Ashgabat only white, golden and some other colour (grey?) cars are allowed in the city. Just like every building is white.   And it’s funny you mention the talibans, because Turkmenistan has an Afghanistan representation/consulate in their country, and one of the days when we were eating lunch in a mall at Mary city, the Turkmen guide was called by the restaurant waiter and then came to us and said “ok so don’t worry, but a taliban delegation is coming here to eat lunch so don’t take pictures and behave discreetly when they enter”.   One of those wtf moments of our trip haha
    • I agree, but having 2 (in 2016) or 4 weight categories wont help the noble cause. Why UWW limited this WC to only non olympic wrestlers? Why only 4 weights?  And so on. I saw some great bouts but they were overshadowed by these facts. At least IMO.
