Olympian1010 7,477 Posted February 14, 2022 #412 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Interesting to read the comments of Alysa Liu’s father on the topic. Liu is another skater that graduated to the international stage at a young age. (There’s more comments from him if you click the thread) “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire. Sport can create hope where once there was only despair” - Nelson Mandela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s the punishment if they simply refuse her to enter the arena. A fine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win medals and your country will look the other way even as you abuse children. Just thinking about this, I think part of the reason Americans in particular are having such a strong negative reaction to Eteri is that we just saw first hand the horrible damage that kind of coaching mentality can lead to.

NMQ 222 Posted February 15, 2022 #418 Share Posted February 15, 2022 It's easy to call for a boycott when you are not a favourite to make the podium. Nobody wins! MHSN, Monzanator and Ros 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monzanator 3,594 Posted February 15, 2022 #419 Share Posted February 15, 2022 @bmoHey, you forgot to mention Olympics is more about money than fair play these days - at least for those fighting for medals. Pro sports is pure business so sending an example doesn't really matter anymore. A country that values capitalism so much like USA should understand that more than anyone else! bmo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s just a shame that this is starting to make its way into the olympics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
