Re: Children as young as four undergo gymnastics and swimming training in China
DD - THANK YOU for really what is a superb find - and this is exactly wjhat i meant when i posted in the other thread that indian parents have better sense - also partly thanks to lesser state authority - subjecting kids to this kind of stuff is nothing short of sheer abuse !
so with this kind of "competition " if we could indeed call it that - i wouldnt fault india for coming away with less golds at the Olympics
let them do the muscle measuring competition and let us have better values
simple physical exercises for health and not for boasting
and concentrate on the academics, career and development of the mind
let others so what they want
btw the swimming aspect id ok but not the heavy weights or the gymnastics
