The Chinese have deliberately cultivated athletes for each event, specifically for these games. They looked at where they were weak or nonexistent last time and beefed up their programs to look good at home.

Aside from it being decided and manipulated by the government, it isn't a bad strategy.

[I still care]

Actually, the regular folk are onto it. It’s so obvious how the Chinese are manufacturing their medals in athletic factories. It’s been really obvious in the ‘womens’ gymnastics, where they have a bunch of underage kids competing that were all removed from their families at age 3 and made into little automatons.

Rush pointed it out, thousands of people all looking and acting and smiling alike.

My son and I watched a medal event where China got a bronze. He said, ‘I guess they are going to take her out in back and shoot her now’.

The only ones who don’t get it are the NBC Olympic commentators. I don’t know if they put a memo out “Don’t diss the Chinese” or what, but they keep putting the best smiley face on things that creep me out.

They looked at where they were weak or nonexistent last time and beefed up their programs to look good at home.

They also looked at the sports where an individual can win multiple golds. That way, they can get more medals for the investment.
