The IOC is in crisis over Chinese Olympians and their Mao badges — Quartz

On Monday (Aug. 2), Bao Shanju and Zhong Tianshi, two Chinese cyclists, won Olympic gold in the women’s team sprint.
It was an inspiring victory; they set an Olympic and world record by cycling 750 m in 41 seconds less than the German runners-up. Tianshi had injured her knee last year and according to Cycling News, she said of her win: “It feels very good because for the last few years I’ve been feeling very, very bad, and I’ve had a lot of problems.”
But it wasn’t just the athletes’ prowess on the cycling track that captured everyone’s attention; it was their clothing. Now, the curious case of Bao Shanju and Zhong Tianshi is turning into another test of Olympic officials’ commitment to political neutrality at the Games, ahead of the Winter Games in China next year.
