I haven't caught too much of the olymics this year but i've managed to catch a good amount of short track speed skating and it seems like every time china doesn't win a race they go to the review and determine that someone else cheated and china automatically wins. It was kind of impressive trying to hear the commentators explain it in a diplomatic way like there was some chinese general standing behind their shoulder letting them know to choose their words carefully.

Yeah I’ve soured on speed skating because of how DQs can change the entire thing well after the fact. I would however note for the record that almost all the US announcers are working out of Connecticut or something like that.
