Depends on what you meant by "mediocre".
 
The sports world knows China produces some of the best "乒乓精英" and many had presented other countries as new citizens and won international competition, including the Olympic games.. Now our 乒乓 team has won a lot of Golds in this SEA game - Are you going to call them "mediocre" simply because they were born in China ?

Not sure what you meant by  "fun" since it is a an established FACT that SG need immigrant sports professionals to help carry our Flag in international competitions.

This topic has been as controversial as our immigration policy for a long long time. Are you suggesting SG shouldn't be placing too much on "importing foreign talents" in sports and reject those who fail their "role" as SGreans ?

Are you going to booo Ex-M'sian-turn-new-SGrean badminton player LKY for failing to win gold at the SEA game ?

No, not that they were born in china of course, only at those folks did not make the cut to remain as the A team back in china and forced to go outside to make a living

[YummyKing]

This is the MOST SAI SUAY thread ever!!!! Really moronic type of mentality !
As always, showing inferiority complex!

Ahhh... now you say this is NOT about "Born in China" but instead claiming SG's imported sports persons as less than "A team". So tell us what you meant by "A team" when we have immigrant sports persons winning medals for SG for many years ?

While you are abandoned by your ex-China wife?

Now everyday kpkb about China?

I maintain what I wrote earlier.  All those tiongs who are not retained in China are NOT the A team

These B listers or mediocre ones (compared to the A listers) are thus forced to seek their fortunes elsewhere.

No need for further clarification right?

That is true. Many B listed players play for foreign western countries still because they find they cannot make it in china....

Precisely my point.  These B listers  can still make good in these western countries and in Singapore because our own local standards are really subpar

Strange - you cannot even clarify how u arrive with that "A B" "mediocre" rankings of sports persons when SG are getting gold medals in the SEA game...
then how are u going to "maintain" the story you had been pedalling ? Is it fair I rank you as "mediocre" poster based the fact u so far fail to provide evidence to back up your comments ?

If you cannot understand simple English then nobody can help you.  There is no need for me to add anything else as everything I posted so far is already self explanatory.

How difficult is it to understand that 

1.  The A listers are feted and retained in China
2.  The B listers i.e. not so good enough ones (mediocre) are pushed out to fend for themselves in other countries
3.  These B listers can do well in other countries because these countries' own level of sports excellence are really sub par

Or do you want me translate the above into chinese for you?

This isn't about comprehension but more to do with your inability to substantiate your little 1-2-3 story.

[YummyKing]

It’s all about money and greed, period! If it’s a sport that you need to endanger your life, that is die for the adopted country, you think you fark care to go?
Only people with inferiority complex and low mentality will want to kpkb on that.

[p1acebo]

This isn't about comprehension but more to do with your inability to substantiate your little 1-2-3 story.

Needless to I say, I have to disagree and say it's about your comprehension or inability, or refusal to understand what I am saying.  I see no pride or glory throwing money to import foreigners just to get gold medals.  

Since you are the thread starter here, I will let you have your say.  No minds are changed of course, and to be civil, let's just agree to disagree

[Bluebull]

It’s all about ego
If you want to compare things in perspective
Zeng Jian came to Singapore in 2014 and won the Sea Games singles gold for the first time this year
In 2014, Izaac played Table Tennis for the first time as an eight year old
And he won SEA Games singles gold for the first time
So what’s there to be proud or not proud?

[p1acebo]

They are mere hired guns or mercenaries.  Since we pay them, they should deliver

So local born native talents are much better than imported B listers who need more time

No need to agree or disgree lah  - You tell me which sports give result by simply "throwing $" at it ? 
The FACT is you already questioned our table tennis team, calling them as "mediocre" or "B list".
All these while refusing to acknowledge that SG Team has delivered Gold at the SEA game.

The FUN FACT is instead of substantiating your little 123 A-B rankings, your mocking response "translate the above into Chinese" is very telling about your agenda... Now, that is one thing that needs no translation.

Sad to see you started from using labels of "mediocre" to calling them "mercenaries." when the fact the table tennis team has delivered Gold.

The good news for you is in sports, no life is taken..

That's why I say you simply do not understand what I have written and are now just putting words in my mouth.  Go read again what I wrote.

I was being kind hearted, since you did not comprehend what I meant, I just wanted to help you understand in your native tongue.  That's all

[Manthink]

For same national reason, we already splashed $$$ to grow our Football Dream Team for decades.
Now FAS wants to speed up importing "foreign-born talent" - So what's your ranking for our SG football at the SEA Game ? another "B list" ?
