Anguished Canadian coach spurs Chinese curling uprising

Dan Rafael, the Canadian coach from the Chinese women's curling team, hollers lastminute directions http://xn--tck2a6m857to37a.mymegquest.com/ New Zealand &#12467;&#12540;&#12481; &#12522;&#12517;&#12483;&#12463; &#12524;&#12487;&#12451;&#12540;&#12473; just before a match. Yan Zhou grins and rubs Rafael's chin even though he talks.

Rafael shakes his head and bemoans a string of errors. Quingshuang Yue grins and slides away from him.

Never ever thoughts http://xn--tck2a6m254jtsc.mymegquest.com/ that he has guided the ladies towards the http://xn--tck2a6m857to37a.toothinator.com/ medal round in their Olympic debut. Under no circumstances mind that their squad consists of a former hockey player and three former speedskaters. By no means mind that only about one hundred of China's 1.three billion citizens even curl, or that the nation became acquainted together with the sport just previously decade, or that these chosen couple of are the reigning world champions.

Rafael could enjoy this team if he did not need to coach it.

"I do not &#12467;&#12540;&#12481; &#12450;&#12454;&#12488;&#12524;&#12483;&#12488; &#12496;&#12483;&#12464; &#12471;&#12519;&#12523;&#12480;&#12540; know what to accomplish &#12467;&#12540;&#12481;&#38263;&#36001;&#24067; &#26032;&#20316; any longer," he says, sighing. "Just when I think they are &#12467;&#12540;&#12481; &#12450;&#12454;&#12488;&#12524;&#12483;&#12488; &#12496;&#12483;&#12464; &#12458;&#12524;&#12531;&#12472; OK, they're not."

He's frustrated because of http://xn--tck2a6m254jtsc.toothinator.com/ their inconsistency and his inability to motivate them because of the language barrier. He speaks to them via an interpreter, gives &#12467;&#12540;&#12481;&#26178;&#35336; &#12508;&#12540;&#12452;&#12501;&#12524;&#12531;&#12489; some of &#12467;&#12540;&#12481; &#12450;&#12454;&#12488;&#12524;&#12483;&#12488; &#12496;&#12483;&#12464; &#12471;&#12519;&#12523;&#12480;&#12540; his greatest inspirational words, and he's unsure regardless of whether COACH &#36001;&#24067; &#12524;&#12487;&#12451;&#12540;&#12473; &#12450;&#12454;&#12488;&#12524;&#12483;&#12488; his message translates in Chinese. "Win 1 for the Gipper" could register as "When to put on slippers" to them for all he knows.

Even worse, Rafael cannot stand what he calls "the Chinese system." Ahead of the Games began, he was unhappy that China wouldn't permit the curlers to do interviews till soon after their 1st match. He also coaches the men's team and hates that he and his players do not get substantially absolutely free time mainly because Chinese Olympic officials retain them on a busy, detailed schedule for just about every hour from the day.

"If I showed you my schedule, you'd drop for the ground," says Rafael, who's from Montreal. "You're told when to obtain up, when to eat, when to sleep. I never believe they are able to breathe without having worry of losing control.

"I'm not saying it's a negative thing. It really is just the way it really is."

The poor guy can not see the major http://xn--tck2a6m254jtsc.heidicare.com/ New Zealand &#12467;&#12540;&#12481; &#12471;&#12519;&#12523;&#12480;&#12540;&#12496;&#12483;&#12463; &#12513;&#12531;&#12474; picture, sadly. He has got it so poor that he's on the cusp of major a newbie team from a novice curling nation to a medal. Poor, poor guy.

Just a little greater than two years ago, the Chinese curling federation hired Rafael. He went to practice, saw the curlers were &#12467;&#12540;&#12481; &#12471;&#12519;&#12523;&#12480;&#12540;&#12496;&#12483;&#12463; &#12513;&#12531;&#12474; holding threehour practice sessions twice per day and stated, "Why are we practicing this long? A curling game doesn't even last 3 hours."

He changed the routine, guided the teams to extraordinary success and led them to the Olympics. The Chinese men haven't &#12467;&#12540;&#12481; &#12450;&#12454;&#12488;&#12524;&#12483;&#12488; &#12496;&#12483;&#12464; &#12458;&#12524;&#12531;&#12472; performed properly right here and won't advance towards the medal round. But, at instances, the girls happen to be anything to marvel.

They beat goldmedal preferred Canada on Sunday. A day later, they lost to bottom feeder Russia. It was 1 of 3 losses as the group suffered by means of uneven play in the roundrobin portion on the tournament. Rafael blasted his team immediately after that 74 loss.

"I don't know who's going to show up," he told reporters, trembling. "The group that played Canada or the team that played Russia? I do not know what to do any longer. At this point, it isn't regardless of whether we finish initially or fourth. If you are going to show up and play like this, you may too remain inside your room.

"My personal view, my opinion, is I never feel they've the passion most curlers have. If you had been in their shoes, would not &#12467;&#12540;&#12481; &#12496;&#12483;&#12464; &#26012;&#12417;&#12364;&#12369; &#30333; you might have passion? Wouldn't becoming inside your initially Olympics and representing your nation, motivate you? I do not know what they're http://xn--tck2a6m254jtsc.rentpuntacana.com/ group &#12467;&#12540;&#12481; &#36001;&#24067; &#40658; pondering. I genuinely do not. They're not youngsters. They are adults."

He doesn't understand them, but &#12467;&#12540;&#12481; &#12450;&#12454;&#12488;&#12524;&#12483;&#12488; &#26178;&#35336; he has helped them tremendously. Perhaps Rafael, a portly, grayhaired man who's &#12467;&#12540;&#12481; &#12450;&#12454;&#12488;&#12524;&#12483;&#12488; &#26178;&#35336; cordial with the media, is the curling version of Orlando Magic coach Stan Van Gundy, probably the most effective grouch inside the &#12467;&#12540;&#12481; &#12450;&#12454;&#12488;&#12524;&#12483;&#12488; &#12496;&#12483;&#12464; &#12458;&#12524;&#12531;&#12472; NBA.

"Of course, we really like curling," said Wang, the team's skip who goes by Betty. "Not many people &#12467;&#12540;&#12481; &#12496;&#12483;&#12464; &#26012;&#12417;&#12364;&#12369; &#26032;&#20316; from China know about curling. We don't possess a &#12467;&#12540;&#12481; &#12496;&#12483;&#12464; &#12450;&#12454;&#12488;&#12524;&#12483;&#12488; &#12524;&#12470;&#12540; &#12513;&#12531;&#12474; club, and we keep playing."

After Rafael's tirade, which integrated &#12467;&#12540;&#12481; &#12450;&#12454;&#12488;&#12524;&#12483;&#12488; &#36001;&#24067; &#12513;&#12531;&#12474; a threat to quit just after the Olympics, Chinese Olympic officials hushed him, appropriately. The Chinese women eliminated the United states on Tuesday, winning with a dramatic shot to conclude the match. Later, throughout interviews, Rafael smiled and mentioned "no comment" anytime he felt the urge to criticize his group. He even managed to say that he was proud of his group and that "big weight came off the shoulders of Betty these days."

Then Rafael took off his hat and pointed to a red pin on its side. It has an image of old Chinese leader Mao Zedong. He stated to appear closer and see that the red is peeling off the pin. And what's underneath it? A gold colour.
