Q: Why China is No.1 in medal tally at London Olympics?
Now we are in China..and we can easily guess..so what do you think why China is number one in medal tally at London Olympics..especially a 16 year old Girl has won a gold..
I would think, um...lots of training? Dedicated, hard work? I don't know. Not being an sports hound, maybe much Gatorade or Jolt?
What would you think if a 15-year old girl won three gold medals? Well, you would be thinking Nadia Comaneci in 1976 (Montreal), so age is certainly not a factor in the Olympics. She also scored a perfect "10," which I believe was the first time a female gymnast had done so at the Olympics.
I say, more power to them! And of course, every other team which competes!!
-First a large population means you have more people to draw from
-Second communist countries can simply force CHILDREN into the painful, dangerous work of sports
-Third money
-China has followed the Soviet System, which does have a lot of success.
Why do you ask? It doesn't matter! There are MUCH more important things going on.
Drugs and blood doping...and other methods that have yet to garner the attention of the anti-doping officials.
Also the Chinese team has done its best to dominate obscure sports with many medals...wait 1 more week or more before asking this question again.
