[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Folks. It's all about the programs that certain countries have to develop athletes for specific sports. Duh!!![/quote] And a bit of geography. XC skiing and downhill skiing and snowboarding are going to be pursued in places that have snow. Skating is much more common in cold climates despite ice rinks because many kids learn on makeshift rinks on frozen ponds. My college used to flood the green in the winter to make a skating rink. Hard to do that in Florida or South America or Africa. I think there is an element of genetics though. The Chinese have picked the sports their athletes can be the best in and developed kids in those. Track is probably not their thing so they focus on diving, gymnastics, table tennis, etc. [/quote]
