Beijing (CNN)Making her Olympic debut for Team China, California-born figure skater Zhu Yi was eager to prove herself to the Chinese public.
Instead, the 19-year-old is facing a firestorm on Chinese social media after she fell flat on the ice and finished last in the women's short program team event Sunday. On Weibo, China's Twitter-like platform, the hashtag "Zhu Yi has fallen" gained 200 million views in just a few hours. Many questioned why Zhu, an American-born skater, was picked to represent China at the expense of an athlete born in the country.
"This is such a disgrace," said a comment with 11,000 upvotes.
Born in Los Angeles to a Chinese immigrant family, Zhu decided to compete for China in 2018 and gave up her American citizenship. She also changed her name from Beverly Zhu to Zhu Yi.
But she has faced criticism in China for not being able to speak fluent Chinese.

Reap it.
... and the agony of defeat.
Hmm... paid to throw?
Maybe they fed her the American rations instead of the Chinese rations by mistake.
;-)
“Zhu, an American-born skater, was picked to represent China”
Whose bright idea was this?
Don’t give much for her chances of survival.
Suffer the fate of traitors.
“Born in Los Angeles to a Chinese immigrant family”
Her mother is an illegal alien and Zhu Yi is an anchor baby. /spit.
More concerning:
Zhu’s father, Zhu Songchun, is an award-winning artificial intelligence scientist. He joined Peking University from the University of California, Los Angeles in 2020.
I hear it was her parents.
Yee Haw, Zhu Yi! You did it for the money, so say hello to the totalitarian, genocidal, criminal state that is your new home, Communist China. You’re not welcomed back to the USA. Live the remainder of your sad life in the CCP’s Marxist utopia.
It’s all the Chinese can do. Steal and reverse engineer.

Next year she will be working in a rice paddy
… or dumped in one.
I wonder if Pooh Xi needs a new kidney?
Probably trying to gain favor for leaving th US, after they humiliate her every night(nudge, nudge) with her CCP overlords.
This incident will not be well looked upon, she will be sent to a Uighar re-education camp.
