Life in the Olympic gulag: Athletes are 'crying like crazy' in hellish quarantine with miserable food where 'hope is dead' as DOZENS miss out on their events after testing positive and being carted off to isolation camps

China won a speed skating event by disqualifying the U.S. and Canadian teams in a qualifying race. Nice.

I highly doubt it. However this is FR. If it fits the narrative, it must be true.

China is flexing to the world.

Who is going to give them the one finger salute and leave with their teams?

I truly wish everyone would.

China is awful and they just don't care.

This will not be reported by NBC. They will just play their idiotic Olympic fanfare music and pretend that everything is great in Xi's Communist wonderland.

Is anyone truly surprised? It’s not a good time to stress your kid’s participation in athletics. The kids don’t understand the political side of things, they’re just eager to compete and win. (When I say “kids” in this case I’m including people in their 20s who have been groomed to compete since they were little.) And now there’s an extra bonus of males being allowed to compete against females. We don’t go to school so we can become pro athletes.

They should just think of themselves as honorary Uyghurs.

Sounds like a lot of fun.

I’m sure the MSM will whitewash the hell out of the story.

I wonder how many of China’s athletes have “tested positive” and been sent to quarantine?

I wouldn’t AT ALL put it past the ChiComs to deliberately sabotage potential threats to their own athletes’ success, by causing competitors to “test positive” and be unable to compete, thereby ensuring that the Chinese athletes (who mysteriously never seem to test positive) are the only one still in the event who can compete at the top level, and artificially inflating China’s medal count.

It would be interesting to see how many foreign “top-ranked” athletes are “carted off” into isolation (in their gulag) due to (unverified) Chinese Covid tests,
and how many mid-rank, easy-to-beat athletes are carted off,
and how many Chinese top-ranked athletes are carted off.

And what narrative would the article be supporting?
That China is a totalitarian regime ?

Well here’s a msm yahoo article for you. I hope it meets the criteria

Is it okay to laugh? Because that is what I’m doing.

China has been giving the world the finger for a long time.

Too late now, but it would have been wonderful if a country like, the United States, knocked the dust off of everything in Lake Placid or Salt Lake and invited the world for an alternate Olympics.

What would the political Leftist hacks at the IOC have done then?

Wonder if any of the woke crowd who are participating will change their views on Communism

I doubt it. American communists believe they can do Marx & Lenin better.

“Isn’t China widely recognized as “the land of the free and the home of the brave?”

Sort of — China has put in place, the resident of “the land of the free and the home of the brave”

Better ?

You mean the absolutely correct “narrative” that China is an abusive, human rights free, cheating, spying, amoral totalitarian state, which incidentally gave the world the Wuhan coronavirus? I call that the truth, not a “narrative.”
