China..
The Beijing Olympics may not be like Munich 1936 but it is a close second. The Chinese want the world to know they are a player the the world and that their way of governess is true and virtuous.
I bet, check in on the Chinese Athletes that preform poorly at these coming Beijing Olympic and see if we ever see them again at any other international competition. I guess is we won't...
I think China is beyond the 'Communism is great' therefore our athletes must win gold mentality.
To the Chinese these games are symbolic of China's 'come uppance' in the world....This is not the 'Munich' games!
