It will always be an unequal battle for the Chinese in this Olympics and future ones. Arch rival the USA has a complimenting mix of athletes where white dudes dominate the pool and black dudes the track. I can see China catching up in the pool but we are not built to run against blacks. Lu Xiang, Im afraid is an aberation as no one has really stepped up since his gold in Athens.
Im not saying that China will not top future olympics, I actually believe in the contrary as Chinese discipline and strong work ethics is unmatched. Its just that having some black dudes makes it a lot easier for the USA to be considerably more competitive
I think what you are implying here is that genetics always prevail over hard-work, that's not at all true.
I am saying this because I know how our Boxers and Wreslers are performing against the superior built up and genetics of Iranian's, Cubans and Russian's.
Its the fiels they dominated once, but we are making huge inroads, take your Chinese girl for example, she won a medal in swimming which was considered as a American and Australian bastion.
Genetics is an advantage but it is not everything.
China is still a developing country but see what it had done still at this stage, finished at top in Beijing and second in Athens, most probably second here also.
that means during the past 3 Olympics you are constantly scoring more than the traditional powerhouses like Russia, UK, Germany and Australia.
Give your athletes times, if not in the near future but there are every chances you will be the one giving the American's a run for their money, infact it even happened in this Olympics also, most most of the time you dominated the medal tally before athletics started.
