February 6, 2022, Beijing, China: ZHU YI (CHN) falls during the women’s single skating short program during the Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games at Capital Indoor Stadium. The 19-year-old is facing a firestorm on Chinese social media after she fell flat on the ice and finished last in the women’s short program team event. On Weibo, China’s Twitter-like platform, the hashtag ”Zhu Yi has fallen” gained 200 million views in just a few hours. Many questioned why Zhu, an American-born skater, was picked to represent China at the expense of an athlete born in the country. ”This is such a disgrace,” said a comment with 11,000 upvotes.
