I'm sure that's true and on some level, admirable. However, there were other little things she mentioned that made us both wonder if the participants were threatened or motivated by some great vision of the motherland. Wanting to do your best is one thing, and then there's going over the line to slavish, mindless devotion at any cost. <BR/><BR/>I've also heard a few reports of Chinese athletes breaking down when they didn't win gold medals.
