Eventhough the chances of these Athletes winning medals are poor, I’m still proud to see them participating in the Olympics. In days or years from now, they could at least say, “we were there”. I still hope they’ll do well. We should cheer for them. So happy to see them at the opening ceremony. Lao pride all the way yo!

If these athletes were not related to the Lao communist government then they wouldn’t have been selected to compete. It just shows the major corruption in Laos. Also why did they chose to compete in swimming? Laos doesn’t even have a swimming pool let alone a 50m pool.
