ArchyAlum11 Posted February 3, 2022 Posted February 3, 2022 Say what you will about Korea's National Team in 2018, but at least that time was overwhelming made up of Korean Players with only a few forgien imports, China may as well be the Canada B-Team. What's more embarrassing, getting beat badly, or being so worried about getting beat badly that you hire a team of mostly foreigners to represent your country? https://thediplomat.com/2022/02/china-recruited-canadians-to-avoid-embarrassment-on-olympic-ice/ 4 Quote

fightingsioux4life Posted February 3, 2022 Posted February 3, 2022 China will cheat to win however they can. I loved it when Phelps won all those golds in Beijing in 2008 and the American National Anthem was played multiple times in their capital. 2 Quote

Not sure what's more pathetic, China trying to buy itself an Olympic team or all these western athletes with so little love of country that they are willing to give up there citizenship just to play in the Olympics. Keep in mind China does not allow dual citizenship so any of these forgien athletes had to give up there citizenship in there real country in order to be on team CCP. 4 Quote

The Sicatoka Posted February 4, 2022 Posted February 4, 2022 https://www.self.com/story/covid-19-beijing-winter-olympics-2022 Quote Anyone who tests positive for COVID-19 at the games will have to isolate per IOC rules, which specify that people must remain either in a hospital or isolation facility until they have no COVID-19 symptoms and two consecutive negative PCR test results with at least 24 hours in between them. Hey, Jake, remember when I joked about spending three weeks in a 6' x 8' cinder block room with nothing but a bed and a door? No joke, eh? Oh, that's right, Jake won't read this unless (not until, unless) he gets back: no WiFi, internet to only approved outside sites, and a burner phone that can't be as good as what he normally uses.

All that is required is that they are citizens, Korea did it during the 2018 Olympics, but at least Korea was overwhelming made up of native Born players, the sport is actually getting more following there, I even played on a local adult team while I lived there. China has taken this to the extreme level, as far as I know any player from a forgien country had to renounce there US, Canadian or other citizenship to get on the Chinese team, since the PRC doesn't allow dual citizens.

They are using the KHL team, those players have been there for about 3 years. China's Olympic hockey hopes rest on North American talent | Fox News Quote International Ice Hockey Federation rules allow players to represent a country if they've spent at least two years living there and playing for the national team. The pandemic forced Kunlun to relocate to the Moscow area and added another twist to the unusual journey of North Americans becoming part of China's Olympic team, but the IIHF determined the imported players were eligible to compete.
