为什么冬奥会，有这么多美国国籍来代表中国参加比赛的？ 第1页

这不是很正常的吗？以前放弃中国国籍代表美国或其他国家参赛的又不少……中国人看来这很正常。

体育精神是”更高，更快，更强“，人类自然要合作去做到更高、更快、更强。苏炳添教练还是美国人呢……

倒是美国人破防的很多，不过原因嘛，得去问美国人。

因为这些人并没有真的放弃美国籍啊，放弃美国籍需要走正式程序来renounce的，而且每个季度美国zf都会公布退籍名单，有几个入中国籍的运动员在这个名单上呢？这件事不过是我国一贯的特事特办而已。

补个中国男子冰球队归化的守门员杰瑞米·史密斯（Jeremy Smith)自己接受外媒采访时说的吧："I told them I can't renounce my U.S. citizenship," said Smith. "They were like, 'Do not worry. We will not ask you. This is not what this whole process is about. It's about getting you qualified for the Olympics.'"

针对有回答中有朋友提到的所谓“在一个国家呆两年代表该国比赛”的规则，我查了一下国际冰联的规则（https://www.iihf.com/en/static/5453/eligibility ），这个规则中明确提到需要改换国籍，然后根据之前的状态有两年或者四年的规定，而并不是说只要在一国生活两年就可以代表该国比赛，具体条款见下

IIHF ELIGIBILITY

To play in the IIHF World Championship, the Olympic ice hockey tournament and the qualifications to these competitions, players must fulfill the following qualification requirements:

Each player must be under the jurisdiction of an IIHF member national association.

Each player must be a citizen of the country he/she represents.

Acquiring a new national eligibility (The ‘two-year’ case)

When a player has changed his citizenship or has acquired another citizenship and wants to participate for the first time in an IIHF competition representing the new country he/she must:

Prove that he has participated for at least two consecutive hockey seasons and 16 consecutive months (480 days) in the national competitions of his new country after his 10th birthday during which period he has neither transferred to another country nor played ice hockey within any other country. Female players need to have participated on a consistent basis for at least one hockey season and have been member of the new national association for at least 8 consecutive months (240 days) during that period.

Have an international transfer card (ITC) that shows the transfer to the national association of his new country and which was approved and dated at least 16 months (480 days) before the start of the IIHF competition in which he wishes to participate.

For female players the period is 8 months (240 days) instead of 16 months.

Change of national eligibility (The ‘four-year’ case)

A player, who has previously participated in IIHF competition, can switch national eligibility (but only once in a player's life) if:

He/she is a citizen of the new country of his choice

A male player has participated for at least four consecutive years (1460 days) in the national competitions of his new country, during which period he has neither transferred to another country nor played ice hockey within any other country and has not played for his previous country in an IIHF competition during this four year period. For female players the period is two consecutive years (730 days).

He/she has an international transfer card (ITC) that shows the transfer to the national association of the new country and which was approved and dated at least four years (two years for female players) before the start of the IIHF competition in which the player wishes to participate
