China Dominates Paris Paralympics Amid Low Public Interest
News summary

China has once again dominated the medal tally at the 2024 Paris Paralympics, securing 94 golds and 220 total medals, far surpassing second-place Great Britain with 49 golds and 124 medals. Despite this success, public enthusiasm in China appears to be low, with many citizens expressing disappointment over the minimal media coverage of the Games, particularly on social media platform Weibo, where the hashtag 'Paralympics, low attention' has been viewed over 100 million times. The state broadcaster CCTV has aired live events but has prioritized Olympic replays, leading to complaints about the lack of primetime attention for the Paralympics. Analysts note that while media coverage has improved, it still fails to match the attention given to the Olympics, with many Paralympic events buried in news listings. Additionally, there are ongoing debates regarding the classification system for athletes, with concerns that some competitors from China may be exploiting it for competitive advantage. Overall, while China's athletes continue to excel, their achievements are not resonating with the public as expected.
