I wonder if I can hire a curling athlete to mop my floors and vacuum my rugs? 🥌


Is Roomba an Olympic sport?

The curling stone sort of looks like an autonomous vacuum, i.e. a Roomba.

You go, girl.

She's been paid many millions to compete for China.

Money talks, amateurs walk.

She is an American Citizen. Born here in the USA. No record of her ever renouncing her US citizenship. Still has US passport. So is considered to have dual citizenship. But China doesn’t allow such (except if you are a marketable gold medal winning Olympic athlete).

Her endorsement deals are well into 8 figures a year. She has figured out how to play both sides of the fence.

Under Olympic rules all athletes must have a passport from the country they are playing for in order to compete for that country.

Well, under Chinese law she's eligible for Chinese citizenship. Let's assume China allowed her to keep her US citizenship, as well as paying her a boatload of money. what bothers you about this? She's not White and making money, she;s a woman making money, she doesn't compete under the US flag? I mean, have you objected to US dual citizens competing for other nations before, or just her?
