So here are the Chinese medal tallies from the past four Olympics (in reverse chronological order, g/s/b):
32-17-14
28-16-15
16-22-16
16-22-12
The tally so far this year is 9-3-2. The disproportionate spike in gold medals is interesting because every other country with a large (>10, hence statistical) medal count has a relatively even distribution -- like China 92/96. Is China dominating relatively uncompetitive events?

I read an article that suggested this was an explicit strategy of the Chinese team, and the examples seemed persuasive, but I can't find it now.
Thanks. Wonder if they mind that their strategy is obvious from the medal count.
Commies only care about the bottom line. They're glass-bottom-feeders
