China, Sports Capital of the World?

Beijing was the site of the Olympics and the Paralympics. And I read yesterday in The Atlantic thyat it will be the site of the first World Mind Sports Games, where 'athletes' will compete in chess, bridge, checkers and go. As with the Olympics, some of the athletes will be tested for drugs.

China is doing well - very well - in the Paralympics. It has 207 medals so far. The UK has 102 and US 98.
