The guy won an Olympic Gold, he is set for life and his family is taken cared of. He is tired of training and that is portrayed by NYTimes as a crime. give me a break. He is the son of peasants in China. Those families live in extreme poverty over there.
He is 24 years old. He can retire this year with a pension for life and money from his winnings and start studying all he wants. He is a National hero!
