The System
At the upcoming 2008 Summer Olympic Games in Beijing, host nation China is poised to win more gold medals than any other country. For some this may come as a surprise, but for anyone who has grown up in the Chinese sports school system, becoming an Olympic champion is the anticipated result of a life spent in training. Groomed from an extremely young age, thousands of Chinese children are sent to sports schools funded and regulated by the government, where they are strictly trained under immense pressure with the hopes that they will go on to athletic glory. With less than two months to go before the Olympic Games commence, REAL SPORTS host Bryant Gumbel heads to China to provide an inside look into the Chinese sports school system.
