They are also far more ambitious, and they think in terms of "the collective", rather than "the individual", like Indians do. That mentality is a by-product of communism Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowboysfan Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 I am sorry to say that indians will never do well in the olympics.we as a country have very poor diet-this has been bad from generations and has not significantly improved even now in the 21st century.

You need to see the documentary on the life of athletes in China How young children are picked and are trained for whole life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brainfade Posted July 27, 2008 Author Share Posted July 27, 2008 You need to see the documentary on the life of athletes in China How young children are picked and are trained for whole life I have heard these stories when I was young. Is it still that way - what with them supposedly moving towards a more open society and such? it is sad when individual freedoms are sacrificed for national glory. The two should be inextricable. BTW, do you have a link to such a documentary? I could always google for one, I suppose :-). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
