When I saw Pan Zhanle’s 48.01s swim, I finally understood why my cousin overseas keeps complaining about missing Chinese sports events

I was scrolling through my phone during lunch break when Pan Zhanle’s winning moment popped up – the 20-year-old cutting through water like a dolphin, clocking 48.01 seconds in the men’s 100m freestyle. The way he touched the wall and immediately looked at the timing board, that mix of relief and triumph on his face… it took me right back to watching Sun Yang’s races with my cousin during summer vacations.

My cousin video-called me right after the race, his pixelated face full of frustration. ‘I had to watch through three different VPNs before one worked!’ he complained. The stream kept buffering right when Pan was making his final push. He missed the real-time celebration – the way the water droplets glittered under the arena lights as Pan raised his arms, the roar of the crowd that made my phone speakers vibrate.

Remember when we were kids? We’d crowd around one small TV during major sports events, sharing watermelon and cheering together. Now he’s in Toronto, trying to piece together highlights from blurry reuploads. Last month during the swimming championships, he actually calculated the time difference to watch live, only to get the ‘This content is not available in your region’ message. He told me it feels like hearing your favorite team won but missing the championship goal.

Pan Zhanle’s journey this National Games – two relay golds before this individual victory – reminds me of all the stories we’re missing. That moment when he hugged his coach after the race, their matching grins saying everything… these are the human moments that get lost between server errors and loading screens.

So many overseas friends have similar stories. My former roommate in Melbourne once tried to watch the Asian Games opening ceremony for three hours before giving up. She said the spinning loading icon became her most-viewed Chinese content that night. Another friend in London resorted to having her mom hold the phone towards the TV during important matches – the audio would cut in and out like a badly tuned radio station.

Watching Pan Zhanle’s victory today, I realized how these technical barriers are creating invisible walls between us and the moments that should unite us. That collective gasp when the timer stops, the national anthem playing in the background… these aren’t just sports events, they’re shared memories in the making. How many of these moments have you missed because of that frustrating ‘content unavailable’ message?
