I think most athletes would prefer to be out of Chinese jurisdiction before they do much in the way of overt protest or criticism.
However the criticism of Gu is because she chose to compete for China and thus participate in their sportswashing agenda. Clearly she wont say anything now, it's obvious that ship sailed once she chose China and the $$$.
A Ukrainan skelton rider held up a "no war in Ukraine" sign at the end of one of his runs....
the IOC says
Quote:Shortly after the race, the International Olympic Committee said there would be no repercussions for the athlete. There had been a question of whether the body might consider Heraskevych’s act a violation of Rule 50 of the Olympic Charter. That rule, in part, states that “no kind of demonstration or political, religious or racial propaganda is permitted in any Olympic sites, venues or other areas.”
“This was a general call for peace. For the IOC the matter is closed,” the Games’ governing body said Friday night.
I'd guess the Chinese won't care much about this specific statement....
