Re: pronunciation of Zhao Shiting. In Mandarin, there\’s essentially a silent \”r\” sound after the word \”shi.\” So with correct Mandarin pronunciation, her name is Zhao Shi(r)ting. That helps a bit… right?
Fan Yilin is definitely shaking up the Worlds selection for China, but I doubt anything will change since more than likely Fan Yilin will go the event world cup route, meaning to qualify that spot she CANNOT be on the team that qualifies to Tokyo. Since there\’s a huge chance China will qualify a full team to Tokyo at this year\’s Worlds, I don\’t think they\’d take Fan Yilin to Doha. Maybe next year\’s Worlds?
Calling it “the big girl massage” was probably also another way for Nassar to hide what he was doing. If he was openly talking to a gymnast about her “big girl massage” in front of her parents or coaches, it probably made it seem to the gymnast that her coaches/parents knew what was going on.
