A factually false statement to say no other Chinese athletes would say what Gu has said, as former tennis star Li Na had not thanked her country when reaching the podium as her training was self-funded. For pretty much everyone else whose training were entirely paid for by the state, it would be very appropriate to thank the country for his/her achievements.

Considering you have to go back to 2012 to find an example of a gold medal winner who would say something like this shows how rare it is to deviate from the expected script.
