I saw it too.

It's crazy that they only see their parents once a year from the age of 3. China is one fucked up place. The Olympics are great, but to take kids away from their families is nuts. Even worse is the families tell them they have to stay there, to make their lives better.

Ah, dont give them too much credit. They are just copying the Soviet model of making athletes. For some reason communist regimes really care about being the best in the Olympics.

Someone else mentioned this being the biggest thing in Chinesse history. I have heard that recently too. And I dont buy it. Chinesse histroy is long and deep and full of important events. I think what is meant is this is the biggest thing in recent or contemporary Chinesse history. I think the "buzz" machine at NBC is just over amping that.
