The sharp-eyed spectators saw the "cupping pot" on the backs of American athletes.
At the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics, the famous American swimmer Phelps attracted countless eyes with his "cupping print" and was joked by netizens as using the mysterious "Eastern power".
In fact, the traditional Chinese medicine method of cupping has been "hot" in European and American sports and entertainment circles for many years.
Exposing "cupping" photos is even more "conquering" overseas social media platforms.

In addition to cupping, there are some other Eastern "mysterious forces" that have absorbed a wave of "flow" in this Tokyo Olympics.
On the afternoon of July 24, the second gold medal of the Chinese team in this Olympics was won, and Hou Zhihui won the championship in women's 49 kg weightlifting class!
What's interesting is that after the competition, her thermos cup became popular, and both were on the hot search.
During the game, Hou Zhihui took the thermos from the coach and drank water.
The coach also handed her Fengyoujing to let her smell it.
Netizens joked that this is a mysterious power from the East.
Speaking of drinking water from a thermos cup, Hou Zhihui said that she prefers to drink boiled water. The thermos cup contains warm water, which is mainly for health preservation.
Coach Wang Guoxin said Hou Zhihui had a bad stomach and could only drink warm water.
The mysterious power of the East is just a joke, but Hou Zhihui has made extraordinary efforts for this gold medal.
Netizens mentioned the mysterious "Eastern Power"-Fengyoujing, and everyone is no stranger to it.
The main ingredients of Fengyoujing include menthol, methyl salicylate, camphor, eucalyptus oil, and eugenol.
Usually there will be a cool or even hot sensation when applied, which can cool down, relieve pain and relieve itching.
It is used for headache, dizziness, motion sickness, etc. caused by mosquito bites and colds. It is a necessary medicine for home travel.

Although Fengyoujing is a traditional "universal medicine", if there is no obvious effect after some use, you should seek medical treatment in time to avoid delaying the condition.
Along with the wind and oil, the hot search is also the "insulation cup".
During the competition, Hou Zhihui used the lid of the thermos to drink water. This detail also attracted the attention of netizens.
Because other athletes generally drink bottled water.
After winning the championship, many netizens sighed with emotion: "She knows that she is stable when she picks up the thermos cup" and "the mysterious eastern power of the thermos cup"!
In fact, the vacuum flask has always been an important equipment for Chinese athletes.
The red thermos cup used by the London Olympic champion shooter Yi Siling in the competition has also been noticed by everyone.
Table tennis player Ma Long is also a well-known mug enthusiast. Not only has he used mugs many times in competitions, he has also been photographed using mugs to drink water during the collective military training of the National Table Tennis Team.

Of course, the vacuum flask is not necessarily exclusive to Chinese athletes. The famous NBA star LeBron James is also an experienced vacuum flask user.

water?
Tea?
Or a sports drink?
Some netizens joked that the Tokyo Olympics is a mysterious "Eastern Power" exhibition. Fengyoujing, vacuum flask, cupping...
