How They Train Olympic Champions in China

[Television]

China is one of the top countries today when it comes to sports records. Chinese team is currently on the first place in London Olympics standings. But the golden medals of Chinese sportsmen are achieved through painstaking trainings that start in the early childhood. Is the Olympic success worth the children’s tears? It’s up to you to decide.

No pain, no gain.

Pain is temporary, glory is forever.

State run programmes throw out many rejects. Kids are in no position to say no. Is it really worth the pain for so many kids to endure so that the State gets glory.

And introduce them to pot?

I would introduce them to pot once their body organ has fully grown and they are adults... Why not because it will make them have their own consciousness and make them into individuals after being brainwashed for decades.

What a disgusting nation. The fact that children need to be tortured for the sake of a gold medal speaks volumes about the morality of the Chinese.

I think state needs approval of the parents, given the one child policy. So as long as ok with parents it is fine. The rewards are huge given the potential endorsements. Any athlete that hopes to reach intl stage has to put in the hours. Many go live away from their parents (USA, UK, Australia etc) and train 8 hours a day for years.

China is no longer a case of winning for national glory. It also comes with rewards. Just look at their former table tennis teach and their rewards playing for Singapore.

Blood and tears of childhood behind gold medals

Key | August 21st, 2012

From IFeng:

At the London Olympics games, post 90s generation shined. However, what is not known behind the gold medals is a childhood filled with blood and tears. Look at these little faces with tears, hands and feet covered in scars, worn exercise bars and training pants, do you feel the pain?

Little body not yet fully developed being forcefully stepped on everyday.

The tearing little faces are easily seen in the training room.

Hold back tears and practice.

Kids endure pain and practice.

Behind them is coach with “the ruler”.

Must finish even with crying.

Four “little bats” hanging there and resting.

Work those abs.

Children’s hands.

Children’s feet.

Training pants that were worn out,

Worn exercise bars

Socks with holes. In order to point the toes, kids need to painfully walk on their toes everyday.

Crawling.

Childhood of handstands

The huge character "gold" is posted on the wall, glowing red and blazing, it has been burned into the hearts of the young children. "There is always a dream, but only a few children will last, most parents feel sorry for their kids (and stop the training), so many good seedlings are buried like that." Coach said with pity “If a child can successfully go down this road, we have to thank his/her parents the most for persisting."
