This American woman named Kate Ledecky has been shaving massive chunks of her personal best and breaking world records but western media don't even question how she did it. It's only how awesome she is. But when a non-white swimmer does it, the western media starts their propaganda campaign how it must be through cheating.
The whites think only they can swim and don't like it when non-white swimmers start beating the white swimmers. It's the worst form of racism.
Some Chinese swimmers were disappointing. Ye Shiwen had a poor swim in the 200m IM final. Women's relay teams were poor too. Tang Yi had a shocker in the women's 100m freestyle final finishing 7th. She won bronze in the London Olympics. Women have been pretty disappointing compared to what I was expecting and their potential.
Sun Yang is a superstar. It's his incredible swim that won China a bronze in the relays, the other 3 swimmers were pretty poor. Hopefully he can keep it up.
I will be happy if we can finish 2nd in the swimming medal table. Americans have too much depth for us to beat them right now. We need to build more depth in each event to hang with the Americans.
Swimming is one area we can eventually overtake the Americans but it will take a while. Swimming and Athletics are the 2 events the Americans vastly outperform China in the Olympic medal table.
Coincidentally, Athletics and Swimming are also, by far, the largest events....
In swimming China is catching up, though still behind. How do you think they will do in 2016?
And what about 2016 Athletics? Athletics is the Achilles heel of all of East Asians.... I hope China can pull at least a few medals. The Americans think themselves superior athletes because of all of their medals, yet they are only running West Africans for the sprint and East Africans for long-distance!!
