Despite their team's failure to clinch a gold medal on the first day of the Rio Olympics Customized Adidas Devils Jerseys , Chinese fans seem to care less about wining a gold and more about the sporting events itself, said a China Youth Daily opinion piece.


Former Chinese Olympic champion Du Li was expected to win the gold in the women's 10m air rifle event. But she and champion Yi Siling were both edged out by 19-year-old Virginia Thrasher of the United States. Many still gave Du the thumbs up, praising her great achievements so far.


The newspaper said some were unhappy about the amount of media attention given to those who could win the first gold medal for China.


China's Central Television (CCTV) vigorously highlighted "Expecting the First Gold" before broadcasting swimmer Sun Yang's race in the men's 400m freestyle. However, Sun lost to Mack Horton of Australia in a nail-biting contest.


Facing questions of how she felt about wining China's first gold in Rio, 25-year-old pistol shooter Zhang Mengxue smiled in surprise and said she didn't know it was the first one and felt nothing special.


On social networking sites, more Chinese fans showed tolerance and respect for athletes. "He has done his best. It it really important to win a gold medal?" said the message of an Internet user based on Sun Yang's silver medal result.


This is in stark contrast to the public mindset towards international sports in past years when the win of star hurdler Liu Xiang was usually discussed within a framework of national pride or using terms suspected of racial slurring.


The expectation was so overwhelming that Liu's mother called on netizens to "Please forgive Liu Xiang if one day he is not outstanding anymore."


Competition is always an integral part of sports Cheap New Jersey Devils Jerseys , and it's simply natural to desire the ultimate victory. But among Chinese, more and more are acknowledging athletes are human beings too.


Zheng Yefu, a sociologist and also sports fan, said audiences like watching competitive games but it becomes a problem when the government invests too much money on winning gold medals.


Zheng added that the Olympics are games that can't represent a country's national power. Whether or not a sewage system works in heavy rain is more related to a country's national strength, he added.

WASHINGTON, April 17 (Xinhua) -- Just as U.S. President Barack Obama is often treated as a celebrity abroad but faces flagging popularity and heavy criticism at home Marcus Johansson Salute to Service Jersey , the same is true for Hillary Clinton: While she's a global celebrity, she is a polarizing figure at home.


That was evident Tuesday as she left a campaign event in the U. S. state of Iowa just days after announcing her run for president in 2016, when some reporters from overseas chased her van as if they were the Paparazzi covering royalty.


But despite her glamorous resume as a former First Lady and Secretary of State and a name that is recognized worldwide, that may not matter to ordinary Americans.


Rather, Americans are still interested mainly in the economy, as they always have been Jesper Bratt Salute to Service Jersey , and want to see a candidate who can persuade them that she understands the everyday issues of ordinary middle-class Americans.


Frank Newport, editor-in-chief at the polling company Gallup, said that Clinton is clearly one of the best known people in the U. S., but Americans' views of her, either positive or negative, are more likely to be very partisan.


Clinton's overall favorability rate Miles Wood Salute to Service Jersey , according to Gallup, is 48 percent favorable and 42 percent unfavorable. "She's an extremely well-known figure, but a polarizing figure to Americans. Some people like her, some don't," Newport told Xinhua.


Analysts note that Clinton lacks the folksy charm of her husband, former President Bill Clinton Brian Gibbons Salute to Service Jersey , and struggles to relate to many ordinary Americans.


She is now trying to counter any negative public perceptions of aloofness, kicking off her campaign with a road trip to Iowa in which she drove to the state in a van. Her current mode of travel sits in sharp contrast to the chartered helicopter she used in her 2008 campaign for president.


A video released Sunday to officially announce Clinton's run for president shows panoply of Americans, including a stay-at-home mother going back to work after five years, two Spanish speaking brothers starting a business, and an African American couple preparing for the arrival of a baby.


The video is clearly aimed at sending "everyday Americans" -- as Clinton refers to them -- the message that they are highest on her agenda. "Americans have fought their way back from tough economic times, but the deck is still stacked in favor of those at the top Pavel Zacha Salute to Service Jersey ," Clinton said in the video.


"Everyday Americans need a champion, and I want to be that champion," she said.


Indeed, in U.S. presidential elections, personality often trumps policy, and that may prove to be Clinton's main challenge in the race to the White House.


Still Cory Schneider Salute to Service Jersey , one of Clinton's main strengths is how she resonates with American women, essentially half of the population. A recent Gallup poll shows that 56 percent of American women have a favorable opinion of Clinton, and another Gallup poll released earlier the year found that Clinton's position as the first possible female president is her main selling point.


But other issues beyond her gender will come up in the lead up to 2016 elections, as Republican candidates will try to link Clinton to White House's perceived foreign policy missteps, some of which occurred while she was secretary of state.


She will also have to broaden her appeal beyond her Democratic base, as experts said it is important that she avoids casting her candidacy too narrowly.


Moreover Kyle Palmieri Salute to Service Jersey , polls find that many Americans, e.
