Russian Olympic Female Wrestler Slapped By Official For Losing

Has anyone seen the North Korean Olympians since they have returned home? If they didn't win a Gold Medal, they may have already been fed to hungry dogs or obliterated by anti-aircraft cannons. Wish Kaepernick would offer to be an Olympic athlete for a country like Russia or North Korea. Perhaps, then, he would understand the real definition of "oppression".
 
I remember seeing the Chinese coaches absolutely berating their athletes on a regular basis. The coaches would be screaming at the top of their lungs right in the faces of the athletes; the athletes just stood there looking at the ground and taking it. I guess it was part of the culture. An American coach would catch hell for it.

I think in China they determine your athletic fate anyway by the age four in some cases steering or placing many kids in a Olympic development program. I'm not quite sure which is worse being slapped for giving your best or forced into years of a regime simply because someone "thinks" you are good at.
