Didn't at least some of the Americans also disparage their Chinese competitors after losing

ed. Was a tennis player

A tennis player said she didn't respect her opponent as a competitor, said she was too cut throat. Fun fact: The opponent was Zheng, the tennis star who western media said was disappeared by the CCP, and was very concerned about for a minute

Are you thinking of Peng Shuai or did they do this again for her too?

How does the olympics work why are the only countries competing china, NK, Japan, and the USA no matter which of the sports I look at? Is this like the just first round elimination and then the other countries will play?

You should watch the NBC abridged coverage of the China/NK mixed doubles. Basically no winning NK points even though they kept it close the whole time. Such bad, clearly biased coverage, no love of the competition.
