Also, you should do away with your weird European cult of happy childhoods. If you want more medals, you'll need to rip babes from the arms of their mothers in infancy and immediately place them in an intensive 14 year sports program. Breed them, essentially. Like horses, or puppies. Get to work!
Do you coach the US girls gymnastics team in your spare time?
It appears the US girls gymnastics team are there of their own volition. I was listening to commentary of the Chinese women's synchronized swimming team (weirdest. sport. ever.) and they were talking about how one member was punished for crying because she hadn't been allowed to see her parents in 12 years. Might be propaganda. Might be true. Come, my friends, 'Tis not too late to seek a newer world.
Ow.
Ow, ow, ow, ow.
Blame Canada.
Must go hide my head in shame.
