Does USOC and the various different sports governing bodies not do a PR session for the athletes on how to handle interview questions?

A simple, I'm here to talk about my sport and my performance would serve these athletes well

Well we have a change

🚨 BACKTRACK: Team USA skier Hunter Hess just did a 180 after trashing America during the Olympics!

Originally whining and dumping on the country while competing overseas, now he’s suddenly “proud to represent” America in Italy and “loves the USA.”

I wish someone would ask her about if she is proud of China's policies. Ask her about the Jimmy Lia receiving a 20 year prison sentence. Or the persecution of the Uyghurs or child labor in factories etc but no journalist is going to do that and she knows China is writing her checks.

Gu, 22, who was born in the US but is competing for her mother's native China, said she was disappointed that the latest buzz surrounding the Olympics was about Trump's comments rather than about sports uniting the world.
"I'm sorry that the headline that is eclipsing the Olympics has to be something so unrelated to the spirit of the Games," the two-time gold medalist

NEW: American-born Olympic skier Eileen Gu, who competes for China, defends Hunter Hess who said he had “mixed emotions” representing Team USA.

At the Winter Games, Gu was seen showing off her suit that was inspired by Chinese ceramics.

By JULY 98% of Americans won't know who won medals or even care.

Chinese ceramics?

So....cracked pots?

Maybe Hunter Hess should ski for Team Red China along with Gu Ailing.

Here she is saying she "carries the weight of two countries" after losing. No sweetheart, you are only carrying the weight of one country. Maybe you should make your home there instead.

Not all Olympians are like that. The ice skating team 4-5 / 7 sang the National Anthem.

Choked again.

Breezy had them set for gold and Shiffrin finishes 15th out of 18 skiiers that finished the slalom. 13th would have won gold. 15th was good for the worst position at the Olympics - 4th.

I grew up as a kid who was obsessed with sports, and all I wanted to be was a ski racer. And so I just did everything that I saw the ski racers were doing. But it also was a world in which everybody was straight.

As a bi person, it was very easy for me to just stick a piece of myself in a box. And then, actually, in many ways, seeing Amber Glenn really changed my perspective. And I almost, like, had just repressed that side of myself for so long. And in seeing her as such a powerful athlete, I started to kind of open that box again.

I came to the conclusion that I was bi, and then very quickly thereafter came to the conclusion that I had to tell people that because they deserve to know that the world of champions is not just comprised of straight white people.

First of all - urinating F*** ICE in the snow? Really? Grow the hell up.

Second - it's not your platform. It's an opportunity offered to you by the greatest country in the world. If you can't handle that like an adult then you shouldn't be on the team. Send this piece of crap home. Next man up.

MF'er joined into an active hate campaign where people are assailing ICE Agents for doing their jobs. Then suddenly when the hate is given back to him, he is the 'victim'?

F these people.

Why should she have to keep her mouth shut? She was asked a direct question and she gave an honest answer. She did not advocate for others to be gay or bi. What should she have said? (you know by even having that feeling you are wanting to control her - I always have felt as being a conservative that regulations - and even desires by others - to control other people was what liberals do to make everyone be and believe things to be the way they want it)

And guess what - she has an Olympic gold medal in one of the most watched events.

Athletes/entertainers that think we give a sh*t about whether you like a D or a P. We don't care, so shut the Fck up about it, like the rest of us do.

Competing at this level takes incredible focus. She should have been focused on skiing instead of her stupid virtue signaling press conference diatribe.

Yep. She won 7 of her last 8 world cup slalom races, and in the one she didn't, she got 2nd by a sliver. What she did this week was a choke of all chokes.

And how many alpine World Cup wins do you have? How many PGA major wins do you have? Did Federer ever win an Olympic gold medal (answer no)? Does anyone on this board look in the mirror and say they've accomplished enough to criticize those who have accomplished so very much.

Good gosh, go over to the boards and bash Marcel Reed for being a "loser". Better yet post it on your twitter. Or even better repost Pepe Bone Spur "loser" posts. And I served and was wounded twice in Viet Nam so, yes, I can call him Pepe Bone Spur.

Have some of you looked in the mirror to see what a wimp you are for getting your panties bunched over something everyone in the sports world is talking about? Her Olympic choke streak is actually a big story. Get over yourself
