Olympic thoughts and quotes, as continued from Tuesday:
GYMNASTICS TRAMPOLINE:
It's generally perceived that the Chinese as a race is little short on strength and therefore not very good at athletics and other sports that favors players with bigger, stronger bodies. Even the Chinese buy this and do you know why? It's because the Chinese haven't won that much. Simple as that. The Liu Xiangs and Yao Mings are going to help defuse that silly notion, silly because it overlooks the better part of excelling in sports – the hard work put in training.
On the other hand, the Chinese have proved to be good at sports that utilize agility, co-ordination, brain in addition to mere brawn. And so therefore don't be surprised if a Chinese player catapults her (perhaps more than his) way to a gold medal on the trampoline.
HANDBALL
Speaking of hard work, it is worth noting that South Korean Kang Jae-won is the fourth consecutive Korean coach for the Chinese women's team. Koreans had also been invited to coach Chinese men as well. Similar in physique, the Koreans have won top honors in the world. Don't be surprised if at least Chinese women (sorry, fellas) make a major breakthrough in handball.
HOCKEY
Ditto Chinese hockey. Also coached by a Korean, Chinese women are aiming high in Beijing. Sorry, fellas.
