At the 2004 Olympics China took home 63 medals 36 of them (57.1 percent of the total) being won by young athletes; 10 of the gold medal winners were under 20 years old. This demonstrates the increasing maturity of China\'s young athletes and growing overall strength in competitive sports.
So what about Beijing Olympic Games? Will we take the place of USA to be 1st? I believe so absolutely!
