Sleepless night in China

[cashew]

Checked out Weibo (Chinese version of Twitter) and it's filled with people suffering from insomnia after the terrible day of losses left and right, with the loss of mixed doubles in table tennis capping everything off as the shittiest loss for the day.

The poor athletes are obviously suffering the most, especially since they desperately wanted to win this, as this was the first time mixed doubles entered the Olympics and they're nearing the end of their competitive career. This was their only chance at getting the mixed doubles Olympic gold. They'll have to settle for silver.

Just you wait, Japan. In three years, we're coming back for that crown and you'll eat dirt. (ﾉಥ益ಥ)ﾉ

Meanwhile, misery loves company, and I'm feeling better after reading how everyone is having a rough time dealing with the loss.

o_O sounds like too much stress for me to follow. I am glad I haven't been watching... I will just get the summary after everything is over.

Also, if this was a Cnovel, it is probably a supernatural story where the Chinese team is plagued by bad luck due to foreigner voodoo jinxes. =P
