According to multiple media reports, Michelle Yeoh, the first Chinese-American Oscar actress, was nominated as a member of the International Olympic Committee on September 8 and seven other figures. According to the IOC Charter, this means that Michelle Yeoh will be eligible to participate in deciding who will go to the Summer and Winter Olympics in the future.
When it comes to the Olympic Games, people's first reaction is definitely that this is a sports event, but Michelle Yeoh does not seem to have much intersection with sports, or sports in the Olympic field. Making her a member of the Olympic Committee is a bit unjustified in the eyes of many people.
Looking at Michelle Yeoh's resume, the most introduced to her is nothing more than an international martial arts actress. Her fame, especially films such as "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "Sword Rain", "Shang Qi", "Legend of Tianmai", "Tomorrow's Empire" and so on, indeed played a crucial role in the promotion of Chinese Kung Fu. Michelle Yeoh was also a diver during her childhood and represented Malaysia in international competitions.
However, wushu has never been taken seriously by the Olympic Games, and even if Michelle Yeoh works hard and hard, it will not be able to make wushu truly enter the Olympic family. And her identity as a diver is almost not mentioned on major websites, except for the sentence mentioned above. Apparently they have also practiced diving, and Michelle Yeoh's diving impression is far worse than another kung fu superstar, Jason Statham.
Even so, Michelle Yeoh was still able to become a member of the International Olympic Committee, which may be related to the fact that the Olympic Committee has broken the circle to attract influential people for so many years. According to the Olympic Charter after 1996, the criteria for election to the President of the Olympic Committee at that time were the status of an official of the International Federation, National and Regional Olympic Committees, and active athletes.
Now, in addition to the above status conditions, as long as the royal family, political and business leaders and other influential and famous people have the opportunity to be elected. Judging from Michelle Yeoh's identity as an international superstar and a new Oscar actress, her selection can be described as logical.
Just let so many outsiders influence the ownership of the Olympic Games, I don't know if I can also see that the Olympic Games as the status of the real big brother in the original sports industry, is in decline, if you don't let some celebrities outside the circle come to make it lively, but most of the people in the sports circle, are still unpopular sports, there is not much attention and fans of the base project of the head of the self-hi, I am afraid that the influence of the Olympic Games will fall faster.
