TV commentator blurts Chinese skiers ‘all look the same’

The ears of Australian viewers of the Winter Olympics pricked up on Thursday night, when a commentator said Chinese athletes “all look the same.”

The comment was made by former freestyle skier and five-time Olympian Jacqui Cooper, following a jump by Chinese aerial skier Yan Ting during a qualifying run.

“Really nicely done, great control. Very Chinese. They all look the same. They’re very hard to tell who’s who,” Cooper said.
