to be exact MAYBE biles is more popular when one tries to measure fame with % and not numbers only. That is what I call statistic accuracy and is one of the reason why I disagree with rainenever "Statistical analysis" so much is because he intentionally does not take several factors into consideration, or he simply does not know how to make an accurate analysis about who is who etc
ma long has definitely more fans than biles that's for sure, but china is like 1.4 billions and the US 300 million people
So if 2/3 fans know biles and ma long they are equal and is more accurate way to express it BUT in numbers it is translated with millions of fans more

Yes. NBA is not big in Netherlands! Since Yao Ming, it is huge in China. I saw games on TVs everywhere in China last winter. (My hometown team, the Houston Rockets, are especially popular there, since that was Yao Ming's team, and the uniforms with red white and yellow look a bit like the Chinese flag, which I think is an intentional effort to tap into that huge market). Basketball is probably the second most popular sport in the world after futbol.
I would be very careful to say who is more well-known than whom. ESPN at least tempted a methodology to rank the 100 athletes and before anyone/organization comes up with a better (how?) methodology then his/her dismissing the ranking is basically worthless. In US, almost everyteenager I talk to knows who Simone is, and has no clue about ML. How the heck can I do simple research to know ML is more well-known internationally?
You are making a lot of assumptions about TT in China. Who has more fans, Yao Ming or Ma Long? Lebron James or Ma Long? Tiger Woods or Ma Long?
When you pose the question that way, then it isn't too unbelievable that Simone Biles might have more fans than Ma Long. Not wrong or right, just not unbelievable.
Well, simon biles is a true phenomenon but still not as popular as yao ming or lebron james. I dont know if chinese sports fans follow gymnastics like they follow basketball or soccer stars but if more fans knew biles than ma long it would seem weird to me not unbelievable

Of course people in China who follow sports news and Rio OG know who Biles is. They may not spell her name correctly but a US girl with 4 golds when Team China got none was impressive.
CNT players became a little bit popular in social media after 2016 WTTC team event because Tokyo TV made funny introductions of them which went viral. Then they became real popular because of Rio OG.
It sounds funny to me what you assume Chinese people should know or not know. And the ESPN article is about the year of 2016 when google trend or Baidu search index is used for analysis. Flaws in the methodology? There could be. But it is better than no methodology.
omg, you take only US fans in consideration, i said internationally you said internationally, what's so hard to understand ??!?!
When i said internationally i obviously meant us fans china fans europe fans all of them BUT the deciding factors are chinese and US fans who happen to be a part of the global fanbase
and sorry all I saw from ESPN was some fancy words thrown around, I need more than that, why dont they publish their method?is it that important to keep it secret?
when i see NA in so many athletes that tells me the research was like 10-15 minutes for each athlete, make some calls to their "bureaus" in australia china and blablabla and that's it. And the article writer was like ok "I'll give 10 points for each 1m facebook fans 5 points for endorsements 7 points for twitter and so on. I wouldnt be surprised if that formula was that simple, and the fact that they dont even publish HOW this formula works makes me suspicious because journalists have stopped being professionals and credible a long time ago, its all about money and super duper big titles now.
Now I dont mind or got annoyed by ESPN all big news site do scrappy work all they want to do is sell fast and sell first, its not the news anymore its who gets there first.
Im annoyed that rain presents scrappy work like that to prove a point and has done it in the past also and then complains ,makes fun, uses irony about users criticizing them instead of "reflecting", like the 3 CNT players will do. The last one was obviously a joke with some truth in it
I hope LGL ends up doing something he enjoys.
Hakeem!
CTTA announced the players who are qualified for the National Games Aug 29-Sep 6. As expected, ML, FZD and XX will play.

BTW, do you know what is LGL's last coaching advice to men's team?
It was before the final of 2017 WTTC. LGL told ML and FZD: First, if there is any doubt of a point, please be fair. If none of you are certain about it, follow the umpire's decision. I believe you two can do it. Second, it is understandable that the winner can be extremely excited. But the winner must not over-celebrate.
