BEIJING, CHINA: A boy rests after an afternoon gymnastics training session at the Shichahai Sports School in Beijing, 19 January 2005. Despite severely hard training, China’s Olympics Games success has encouraged more parents to send their children to government-funded sports schools, of which there are some 3,000 in the country, which recruit thousands of very young children and train them to be elite atheletes for the country’s Olympic machine. Beijing will host the 2008 summer Olympic Games. AFP PHOTO/Frederic J. BROWN (Photo credit should read FREDERIC J. BROWN/AFP/Getty Images)
