Wumo 2,795 Posted October 5, 2018 #83 Share Posted October 5, 2018 (edited) 16-year old Wang Jianjiahe sets a new 400 m short course world record in 3.53.97 at a FINA World Cup in Budapest. She is the first woman/girl to go under the 3.54 mark at the distance on short course.

I live here 3 years so I can confirm. The kids at primary schools even have 2-week military training at school. Those, who are meant to be "professionals" are really drilled since very young age. Parents are OK with that and kids have no choice. But the result is usually great - Olympic and world champions. The base in many sports is huge so the world level athletes can even change from season to season. Despite all these fact, China is also good at cheating. Many doping cases on Olympic champions - especially weightlifting and during Beijing 2008 faking the real date of birth of the gymnasts so could compete even 12 years-olds. But back to the topic, the drilling here is sometimes really crazy but brings the great harvest afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
