Since when is young an advantage in a sport that takes years of practice and experience? Can it be their athletes have more motivation or are they just better?
Why can a 15-year old Chinese girl diver make our divers look like they are doing cannonballs into the pool? Motivation or skill or natural talent? Chinese natural athletes? Hard to believe but apparently true.
We should stop whining and get back to training, real training, with high expectations and when they are not achieved, dump the athlete and go on to the next. Remember in the 70s or so Russia had a older woman(23 or so) gymnast who made our younger smaller athletes drool? Why is it when the United States gets beat the enemy, opponent, must be too old or too young or too big or too small?
On to London.....
