Many of the world powers had raised eye brows when china showcased its mighty and power in hand in the Beijing Olympics.
Still, the country faces crucial criticism within and outside over its must- to – win policy in sports. The press and online media have raised the concern that China never put its eyes on the mass who hardly participate in the mega events. As well as the galleries in Guangzhouto looked empty, majority of the medal winners never represent the fraternity of the nation.
Critics call for ending the race for medals and kick off the efforts to popularize the sports among the mass. As of now China adopts the maxim that helps only those can ensure a medal most probably Gold for the country. China never tries to go for an experiment with emerging players or career seekers. But, skeptics know that China never turns their eras to critics which make them different ever.
