I wrote this in another thread, the funny thing is China puts SO much effort/time into this (even "kidnapping" young, potential Olmpians). It's their only big sporting event. In America, we have baseball, football, basketball, golf, even hockey ahead of these type of sports and we still compete (and hopefully beat) them.

Yeah I've heard all about what they do. They also focus on the bogus events that they know they can get multiple medals in.
They call it operation 119 or something like that. They talked about it during the opening ceremonies.

That's why beating them in the medal count would be that much sweeter!

that 119 is as i understand it the medals in the multi medal sports like swimming and track where they are lagging way behind.


our dominance in swimming and track allows us to rake in huge medal hauls every night like we are right now.
