Tears and online criticism as China’s US-born skater Zhu Yi falters in another Olympic routine
Subscribe to our YouTube channel for free here: https://sc.mp/subscribe-youtube China’s US-born figure skater Zhu Yi burst into tears on the ice during her latest Winter Olympics routine on February 8, 2022. The 19-year-old faced intensified criticism online as she finished last in the Beijing 2022 women’s short programme team event. Zhu’s fortunes stood in sharp contrast to that of Eileen Gu, another athlete born in the United States who has chosen to represent China at Games. Gu trended heavily on Weibo on February 7 after participating in the big air qualifier. Her reaction to losing her skis during a fall in her second jump was described as “cute”, as she later qualified for the final after nailing her third jump.

박항서호 베트남 3-1로 중국 완파…되살아난 '매직' (서울=연합뉴스) 박항서 감독이 이끄는 베트남 축구대표팀이 1일 '2022 카타르 월드컵' 아시아 B조 최종예선에서 중국을 3-1로 완파했습니다. 베트남 대표팀은 이날 하노이 미딘 국립경기장에서 열린 홈 경기에서 중국을 3-1로 꺾고 최종예선 사상 첫 승리를 따냈는데요. 박 감독 지도 아래 처음으로 월드컵 최종예선에 진출한 베트남은 이날 전까지 7연패를 당하며 본선 진출이 이미 불발됐지만, 중국을 꺾으며 귀중한 1승을 기록했습니다. 베트남은 B조 예선을 마무리한 결과 최하위(승점 3·1승 7패)를 유지했습니다. 이날 베트남에 패하며 승점을 쌓지 못한 중국은 월드컵 본선 진출에 실패했다. 5위(승점 5·1승 2무 5패)에 머문 중국은 호주와 승점 9 차이로, 남은 두 경기에서 모두 승리해도 PO 진출권이 걸린 3위에 진입할 수 없는데요. 일부 중국 누리꾼들은 이날 자국 대표팀의 패전 소식에 춘제(春節·중국의 설) 분위기를 망쳤다며 격분했다고 홍콩 사우스차이나모닝포스트(SCMP)가 2일 보도했습니다. 경기 직후 중국 누리꾼들은 "굴욕적이다", "당황스럽다"는 반응을 쏟아냈고, 관련 해시태그는 웨이보(중국판 트위터)에서 2시간 만에 128만건 이상의 조회수를 기록했다고 합니다. 영상으로 보시죠. 제작: 이봉준·이혜란 영상: 연합뉴스TV #연합뉴스 #박항서 ◆ 연합뉴스 유튜브 : https://www.youtube.com/yonhap ◆ 연합뉴스 홈페이지→ http://www.yna.co.kr/ ◆ 연합뉴스 페이스북→ https://www.facebook.com/yonhap/ ◆ 연합뉴스 인스타 : https://goo.gl/UbqiQb ◆ 연합뉴스 비디오메타 채널https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTMCrbtHU0M0SR6TuBrL4Pw
