Republic of China(which recently relocated to Taiwan after
the Chinese Civil War)

13. COMPARING CHINA AND INDIA
IN THE OLYMPICS GAMES
• China has become an Olympic powerhouse while India
has underperformed.
• From 1952 to 2012, China won 201 gold medals, while
India won only five.
• The Chinese economic development model has focused on
investment in infrastructure; things like massive
airports, high-speed rail, hundreds of
dams, stadiums, world-class swimming pools, and high-

14. The Effort That Goes In For An
Olympic Medal In China Is Awesome…!
• 5-6 year old kids are made to stretch their legs, swinging on
the beams, hanging from pairs of rings, bounding across
floor mats during the physically strenuous training sessions.
• Most of the children are orphans i.e., they go in search of
orphans and bring them to their training centres and fine
tune them.

15. • The goal for each boy or girl is to out beat USA
and to see their country on top of the medals table.
• There are reports that suggest that the trainers have no
mercy on kids, as they are made to train hard
• Thus we can say that in the coming years China can totally
out beat USA.
• It looks gloom for the Indian’s as it has to think all over
again and give a good amount of share in its GDP for the
SPORTS.

16. CONCLUSION:
•The first and the foremost thing that India should do to
improve in OLYMPICS is to develop its infrastructure and
build as many stadia it can.
•For this to happen it should give a fat share of its GDP
towards SPORTS.
•It should start right away so that 20-30years down the line we
can see our country as one of the dominant performers in
OLYMPICS.
