This article in the Guardian about a ten-year old girl who wants to swim the Channel...with her limbs tied isn't the first case of utter stupidity to come spewing out of China
preceding their monumental staging of the Olympics next year. It reminded me of the
four year-old Indian boy, touched upon in the article who runs 45km a day, followed (and presumably flogged) by his father/coach on a motorbike. Sick.
In related sports, and I use the word liberally, news -
Dida shot down by crowd sniper.
