Yu Lihua, the coach of world shooting champion Yang Qian (China’s first gold medalist at the Tokyo Olympics), recently posted a letter online asking for help. In the letter, he emphasized that the Ningbo Provincial Sports Bureau had deducted his Olympic bonus.
According to coach Yu Lihua, the leaders insisted that he receive all the bonuses, but in the end he could only pocket 60%. He wrote on his personal page: “ They are the ones who ignored Yang Qian (the gold medalist in shooting).
But when we finally brought glory, they sat in the office and stole our money. They got promoted and became rich, 40% of my bonus was taken away .”
Coach Yu Lihua and athlete Yang Qian held a press conference about the bonus embezzlement scandal.
Immediately, this information caused a big shock to Chinese sports. The public opinion was so strong that Ningbo province sports officials had to speak up. They said that Mr. Yu Lihua " is a personal coach so he should only be given 60% of the total bonus ". The rest should be given to other coaches who helped Yang Qian.
Of course, Chinese public opinion did not agree with this reaction. Everyone pointed out that Yu Lihua was the only one who discovered and trained Yang Qian, but after winning the championship, some people took credit for him.

According to Sohu, the authorities will intervene and launch an investigation before revealing the truth. Many people also called on Chinese sports officials to assign an investigation team to investigate Li Tie (the coach arrested for corruption) to directly intervene in Yu Lihua's case.
The newspaper concluded: “ Shady stories like this are truly heartbreaking, especially when they involve an Olympic champion. It is arguably even more disgusting than our football scandal .”
