Makedonas 1,561 Posted November 18, 2021 #271 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Congratulations, Muguruza! I only care because this means Sakkari stays at number 6 and doesn't fall to number 7 as Kontaveit can't pass her Ted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaks volumes on how China doesn't give a shit about international authorities and consider them too weak and dumb to act, if anyone still had doubts after the last couple of years mrv86 and Makedonas 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monzanator 3,569 Posted November 18, 2021 #273 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Pretty much so, USA just embarrassed themselves in Afghanistan, EU can't handle the immigrant crisis and became a laughing stock after Brexit so China has a free path to become #1 global powerhouse in 15-20 years. They are #2 powerhouse already. China is far & away the biggest long-term winner of the Cold War, USA might have conquered Soviet Union but they failed to acknowledge China growing way bigger than Soviet Union ever was. opruh and Ted 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDOG 2,181 Posted November 19, 2021 #277 Share Posted November 19, 2021 The only one in world sport that could make a difference putting out a public statement is IOC. If China sees there's any risk of a serious boycott or threat on their games they will let her go quickly. mrv86, thepharoah, LuizGuilherme and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which won't happen for sorry, maybe this needs big NOCs like USA , Germany, Canada and others starting to refer to boycotting games if nothing serious happened about assuring her safety but I highly doubt also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
