So if the U.S. beats the Chinese in terms of Olympic medals, will our system of training (where athletes provide for their own training instead of it being provided in near concentration camp conditions) finally be heralded as superior? If athletes from behind the Iron and Bamboo Curtains didn't look so pleased at the prospects of U.S. Olympic victory, it was not so much because of the prospect of losing but probably out of fear probably being beaten afterwards by their tyrannical taskmasters.
