Vic Liu 1,592 Posted February 24, 2021 #541 Share Posted February 24, 2021 2 hours ago, opruh said: IOC did not ban the weak and poor China back in 2008 despite the "Tibetan Genocide" where hundreds of thousands of persecuted Tibetans relocated to USA and Europe. IOC and some random western country like USA has no power now to ban the powerful and growing China now for "Uyghur Genocide" that results to hundreds of thousands of persecuted Uyghurs escaping to USA and Europe. I feel sorry for Uyghur personalities like Dilraba and countless other personalities, those tens of millions of followers in social media, western luxury brand endorsements and millions of yuans in income are the worst kind of persecution. My heart is broken... We were weak and poor in 2008. opruh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other news sure looks like Surfing is in the Summer Olympics long term. rafalgorka and dcro 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

De_Gambassi 896 Posted February 24, 2021 #545 Share Posted February 24, 2021 lol... Quote The IOC will undoubtedly face criticism about a lack of transparency since John Coates, head of the Australian Olympic Committee and a close ally of the IOC President Thomas Bach, chaired a working group in 2019 that examined changing the process for selecting a host city for 2032. https://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1104615/ioc-set-to-choose-queensland-for-2032# NearPup 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How often can you hear the same bullshit and still buy it? China won the weightlifting medal table at the last FIVE Olympics and we all know Bach and IOC won't do anything to hurt China.

There is no "professional weightlifting" that sucks all the talent out of the Olympics pool though. The thing with boxing is that all the teenagers from USA, UK, Latin American countries are lured by the big pro contracts and don't need Olympic medals anymore. World Amateur Boxing championships are dominated by Russia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan and Cuba lately so by countries that get zero love from IOC to begin with. The cold war USA vs The East in amateur boxing is long extinct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
