trains for Olympic glory while her
gymnastics trainer stands on her legs.
Its a powerful reminder of this little
girl's tender age as she trains as hard as
any adult athlete in the Western world. Nanning Gymnasium in Nanning, China,
is one of many ruthless training camps
across the country to which parents
send their children to learn how to be
champions. But while training techniques appear
extreme to Western eyes, they provide
an insight into why China's athletes at
London 2012 seem so easily able to swim,
dive, lift and shoot their way to victory. Gymnastic stars are known
for starting
at an incredibly early age, and this group
of children appear no different as they
battled to complete the demanding
routines on bars, rings, and mats. Boys and girls who looked no older than
five or six-years-old were tasked with
swinging on beams, hanging from pairs
of rings and bounding across floor mats
during the physically strenuous training
sessions. They call it training , we @ wahala call this bullshit
