Despite their team's failure to clinch a gold medal on the first day of the Rio Olympics, Chinese fans seem to care less about wining a gold and more about the sporting events itself, said a China Youth Daily opinion piece.
Former Chinese Olympic champion Du Li was expected to win the gold in the women's 10m air rifle event. But she and champion Yi Siling were both edged out by 19-year-old Virginia Thrasher of the United States. Many still gave Du the thumbs up Air Jordan 6 Gatorade Green Womens Shoes , praising her great achievements so far.
The newspaper said some were unhappy about the amount of media attention given to those who could win the first gold medal for China.
China's Central Television (CCTV) vigorously highlighted "Expecting the First Gold" before broadcasting swimmer Sun Yang's race in the men's 400m freestyle. However, Sun lost to Mack Horton of Australia in a nail-biting contest.
Facing questions of how she felt about wining China's first gold in Rio, 25-year-old pistol shooter Zhang Mengxue smiled in surprise and said she didn't know it was the first one and felt nothing special.
On social networking sites, more Chinese fans showed tolerance and respect for athletes. "He has done his best. It it really important to win a gold medal?" said the message of an Internet user based on Sun Yang's silver medal result.
This is in stark contrast to the public mindset towards international sports in past years when the win of star hurdler Liu Xiang was usually discussed within a framework of national pride or using terms suspected of racial slurring.
The expectation was so overwhelming that Liu's mother called on netizens to "Please forgive Liu Xiang if one day he is not outstanding anymore."
Competition is always an integral part of sports Air Jordan 6 Retro Gatorade Green Mens , and it's simply natural to desire the ultimate victory. But among Chinese, more and more are acknowledging athletes are human beings too.
Zheng Yefu, a sociologist and also sports fan, said audiences like watching competitive games but it becomes a problem when the government invests too much money on winning gold medals.
Zheng added that the Olympics are games that can't represent a country's national power. Whether or not a sewage system works in heavy rain is more related to a country's national strength Air Jordan 6 Retro Gatorade Green Womens , he added.

BEIJING， March 12 (Xinhua) -- "Don't you think this little girl looks great with the red glasses?" said Sam Waldo， pointing at a photo he took in Shangri-La County in southern China's Yunnan Province， with a radiant smile on his face.
Sam， a 28-year-old American volunteer teacher， has been dedicated to helping students in rural Yunnan since he first came to China.
He has teamed up with other volunteers to raise funds and donations for vision tests and corrective lenses to help local students in need.
"We did some researches and this problem exists throughout Yunnan，" Sam said， concerned about the impact vision problems may have on students' academic performances. "Giving a child a pair of glasses is equivalent to giving them an additional year of schooling."p "It's also been proven that glasses have a higher impact on educational outcome for students than a family's education level or economic background，" he said.
Sam's attachment to China could trace back to his school days. When he studied Chinese at Columbia University in New York， he fell in love with the ancient language and culture. Later， in 2008， he made his first visit to China， a trip that further consolidated his decision to move to this country.
Amazed by its economic and social development over the years， Sam felt a sense of excitement in China， a country filled with new ideas and dynamism.
"I was really amazed by everything that happened here， so much change， so much possibility and a lot of areas to contribute. So that's why I decided to move to China in 2010，" Sam said.
Interested in understanding the other face of China that foreigners usually don't get the chance to see， Sam joined a program called Teach for China that offered volunteers teaching opportunities in rural areas in Yunnan Province.
"I was really excited to go to a part of China， hours and hours away from the nearest McDonald's， from the nearest familiar cultural things， and to really spend a long time there getting to know what is life like there for people， what are the needs and dreams and challenges of young people in China's rural areas，".
