It's about China's unstoppable army of Olympic rowers, and how they are being trained to totally dominate the competition and take home a shit ton of gold medals. It's intense. I swear, it's like something straight out of Rocky IV (or III? I always get them switched around). The athletes train together on a 10 billion dollar government-owned facility which includes medical labs, clinics, and over 100 boats. It even has it's own secret code-wordy name, The 119 Project. And who runs the place? Igor Grinko, a world-renown Russian coach who led the Soviets to Olympic victory many years ago.
I'm not one for sports (I've actually never watched the Olympics before), but I will be interested to see how China does, and what will happen if they don't bring home as many medals as they are expecting.
