I was scrolling through Weibo during my lunch break here in Toronto when I saw the trending hashtag #杜普兰蒂斯北京继续破纪录#. My first thought? ‘Wow, Duplantis is coming back to Beijing!’ My second thought? ‘Why is this video buffering every three seconds?’
The video showed Duplantis – you know, the guy who makes pole vaulting look like gravity is optional – talking about the 2027 World Championships in Beijing. He said he wants to ‘jump even higher and set new world records for Chinese fans.’ The man’s confidence is as sky-high as his jumps.
But here’s the thing that got me frustrated: the video kept stuttering. I could see Duplantis’ mouth moving, but the audio was delayed. It felt like watching a badly dubbed movie where the lips don’t match the words. My coffee was getting cold, and I was missing his actual message.
I remember watching the Beijing Olympics back in 2008 from my dorm room in Vancouver. The streaming was crystal clear – every sweat droplet, every tense moment. Now? Trying to watch sports content from China while overseas feels like trying to read a book through frosted glass.
It’s not just about Duplantis. Last month, I tried to watch a Chinese drama my cousin recommended. Three minutes in, the ‘This content is not available in your region’ message popped up. I actually laughed out loud – my cousin in Shanghai was probably watching it smoothly while eating popcorn.
What makes this especially ironic? Duplantis is talking about breaking down barriers – literally pushing the limits of human potential. Meanwhile, we’re dealing with digital barriers that prevent us from watching him talk about breaking barriers. The universe has a weird sense of humor.
I finally got the video to work after switching networks (and my patience). Duplantis ended with ‘See you in Beijing!’ in decent Mandarin. That moment alone was worth the buffering struggle. But it made me wonder – how many overseas fans give up before reaching that payoff?
The thing is, sports should connect people across borders. When an athlete like Duplantis wants to set records specifically for Chinese fans, that includes the millions of us cheering from abroad. We’re still fans – we just happen to be fans with questionable internet connections.
