The author makes several statements that could be considered appeals to national pride or jingoism, but they do not necessarily constitute fallacies. For example, the statement 'There are races at the Olympic swim meet that deliver individual glory, and then there are those that offer the chance to trash talk another country's swimmers for the next four years.' is an observation about a cultural phenomenon rather than a logical error. Similarly, statements about historical dominance of American swimming in this event do not constitute fallacies as they are factual. However, there is one instance of inflammatory rhetoric when the author quotes Qin Haiyang's accusation against testers being part of a European and American plot. This statement is an example of an appeal to prejudice and should be considered a fallacy.
'There are races at the Olympic swim meet that deliver individual glory, and then there are those that offer the chance to trash talk another country's swimmers for the next four years.'
'About 10 minutes later, the American men exacted their revenge...', 'Just ask Armstrong, the 23-year-old who now has two golds in the 4×100, helping the U.S. to defend the title from Tokyo.',
