In 2024, in order to win the right to host the 2034 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, United States went so far as to agree to the additional conditions proposed by IOC President Bach. What is this condition? That is to end the F.B.I. investigation of Chinese swimmers and ensure that their safety is not threatened. You read that right, this condition is quite harsh! And the IOC has threatened to cancel United States' right to host the Winter Olympics if it does not stop using the Rodchenkov Anti-Doping Act for enforcement abroad.

The result? Utah Governor Cox agreed to this condition, and Salt Lake City was awarded the right to host the 2034 Winter Olympics.
As soon as this incident came out, the Internet exploded. The comments of netizens are simply varied, some are for it, some are against, and some are not a big deal to see the excitement. Let's take a look at a few interesting comments.
A netizen @小CaritaSwim left a message: "Finally waited for this day! The FBI doesn't make any more use of our athletes, they all train hard, it's not easy! ”
Another netizen @hotpot girl has a different opinion: "This is too humiliating, United States actually compromised for the Winter Olympics, are they so afraid of losing the right to host?" ”
@正义之剑 also spoke: "I think it's a good thing that athletes should focus on the game and not worry about being investigated. The IOC's decision this time is quite fair. ”
However, there are also netizens @ melon eating masses who say that it is not a big deal to watch the excitement: "Haha, this thing is interesting, I feel that United States was forced to compromise this time, I don't know if there will be more melons to eat next." ”
Speaking of which, I have to mention the position of the IOC. After all, they are a direct threat to the United States, either to stop law enforcement outside the country, or not to think about hosting the Winter Olympics. In this way, the United States is in a dilemma. After all, hosting the Winter Olympics is a big deal, not only to enhance the country's image, but also to bring a lot of economic benefits.
The citizens of Salt Lake City also cheered when they learned the news. After all, they've been looking forward to hosting the Winter Olympics again! However, there are also many people who have questioned Governor Cox's decision, arguing that such a compromise would harm the national interest.
@盐湖城小市民 left a message saying: "Great, we can finally see the Winter Olympics again!" The governor really thinks about the people! ”
But @naysayers don't think so: "It's a treason!" For the sake of a Winter Olympics, have you put aside the dignity of the country? ”
In fact, from China's standpoint, this incident is really emotional. After all, the F.B.I.'s investigation of Chinese swimmers has long been a sensitive topic.
Many felt that these investigations were overdone and even had some kind of political purpose. And now, in order to retain the right to host the Winter Olympics, the United States has finally agreed to stop these investigations, which can be regarded as a kind of protection for Chinese athletes.
@游泳迷 said in the comments: "The Chinese swimming team has always been our pride, and it is really distressing to see them being treated unfairly. Hopefully, this incident will bring them some comfort. ”
Of course, some netizens feel that this is just a superficial article, and the actual situation may not change. @怀疑论者 commented: "Don't get too excited, United States promises are sometimes just words, and actual actions depend on their performance. ”
In any case, this incident did attract a lot of attention. Not only because Salt Lake City won the right to host the 2034 Winter Olympics, but also because of the international political game and the rights and interests of athletes involved in this process.
I hope that more of this will happen in the future, so that sports can return to purity, so that athletes can train with peace of mind and focus on the competition.
Finally, I hope that everyone can look at this incident rationally. As netizen @calmanalysis said: "No matter what, we should support the efforts and dedication of the athletes." I hope that the future Winter Olympics can be held smoothly and bring more exciting competitions to everyone. ”
