Howay 12496 Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 The United States "Dream Team" playing China soon. Should be interesting, but I doubt the U.S. can pull together all those egos. They've got Lebron this time round man he could win it almost single handed Anyone see the weightlifting a 17 year old Chinese lad took the gold pressed nearly 3 times his bodyweight over his head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Best thing about the weightlifting is absolutely none of them have ever taken steroids. Still amazing though, especially the ratios of bodyweight to weights they can lift, as you say. Especially in the lighter weights categories.

The Fish 10335 Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 They say with distance running, once you get past a certain distance it's not physical, it's entirely mental. If this is true I'd wonder with feats like weightlifting, how much of it is Mental strength? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a lot of it is, still it also helps to come from a specific part of east Africa where genetically you have a higher base red blood cell count as well.

Guest alex Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 That table's bollocks imo. A gold's worth more than a silver and a bronze put together. Makes America look like they're doing better than they actually are though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes America look like they're doing better than they actually are though The Americans will open up the can when track and field starts though...and I think we can just give them the gold in basketball.
