A US-born figure skater, who gave up her citizenship to compete for Communist China, got relentlessly attacked on the Chinese social media platform “Weibo” after taking a hard fall and finishing last in her Olympic debut.
Zhu Yi (born Beverly Zu), 19, took a couple of hard falls on the ice on Sunday.
“I’m upset and a little embarrassed,” Zhu said after her poor performance, according to Reuters. “I guess I felt a lot of pressure because I know everybody in China was pretty surprised with the selection for ladies’ singles and I just really wanted to show them what I was able to do, but unfortunately I didn’t.”
