The decision to represent China occurred when she was 15 years old. Who do you think made the decision? It wasn't the 15 year old.

That is a good point, and comports to the description of Gu in the interview, where she looked at mom when she was being asked tough questions.

Gu wouldn’t be the first person whose career was “shaped” by an overly controlling parent. I hope for her sake she doesn’t wind up like Todd Marinovich or many others.

But that, too, is speculation on my part.

And how about that tankie tea?  A wee but too strong, no?

Defending Gu’s choice (as one long time poster has) is fine. We don’t all have to believe that Gu’s intentions were not pure. But doing so while referring to those who disagree as “morons”… yeah, that won’t fly here.
