It is good to read that bad sportsmanship is not tolerated in China
It is good to read that bad sportsmanship is not tolerated in China.
That's what I have called for: 'The Olympic Spirit' or 'The Olympic Principle'.
When we play sports; Winning isn't everything, sportsmanship is.

.The incident has caused an uproar on the Internet, with sports fans calling Lin's behaviour "intolerable," the report said.
"The coaching team and chief officials have spoiled Lin. He should have been kicked out of the team earlier," the China Daily quoted one as saying.
"What they care about is whether Lin will win gold ... if we send this kind of person to compete on the international stage, it's a shame for China's badminton."
Lin, famous for his public spats with the reigning Olympic champion Taufik Hidayat of Indonesia, was also involved in an altercation with South Korea's Chinese head coach Li Mao in the Korean Open early this year, the report said.
In that incident, Lin rushed Li after a questionable line call and appeared poised to strike the former Chinese coach with his racket before trainers and teammates again intervened, it said.
Lin was not punished for that incident, the China Daily said.
