Cool story, bro. Thats the words I should have kept my reply to, considering that its very obvious what your intentions are, marcochina. You want to portray how amazing and great China is by finding one sole example of Chinese coach training an American athlete to top success in the world. I can also hypothesize that you think that this should be a Chinese gold medal.

Actually, its a bit interesting, I didn't know that Chinese were training American athletes. Although I should have known this, considering that much of American consumer goods are made in China. No pun intended here.

I guess if anything, this shows that Chinese are for once excelling with sports in America. Its not just them forcing kids to play the sport under brutal conditions from young age, but they can also immigrate, embrace a free and democratic way of life and put a human face to the way athletes should be trained and treated. Chinese man training a lady of African descent in America. Almost like a plot to a Hollywood movie.

I just tell you a story. Don’t use it as a fable. :D

Don't take too much association please, that would make you draw an absurd conclusion.

In my mind, mountain is mountain and river is river. I never try to imagine how great the mountain is . I never try to imagine how beautiful the river is. :|

Most of the Chinese I've ever met are pretty cool people. I generally like them, except Rancid's wife... I hear she's a b..., erm, I hear she's a tough old bird that pretty much pulls his strings all the time.
