Quote:China is dominating a bunch of sports most Americans don't really follow, are not all that far behind in the medal count, and are keeping up nicely in terms of gold medals.One thing I noticed about China was that they do well in sports that require individual commitment and relentless practice. They will only improve though as more of a middle class emerges and the former peasants have some free time to devote to sport.
