:win: Keep sleeping on these Asian cats. They're coming, Japan and China spiriting program has improved dramatically in the past decade. Now producing sub 10 sprinters. 9.98, he would have finished 4th in the IAAF World Championship. 2024 Olympics either Chinese or Japanese guy will win 100m gold, predicting it now :banderas:

Everyone has plans countries have plans doesn't mean the plan will be excuted properly. Japan had a plan to be the financial hub of the world and exactly what happened to that.

Yeah diets have changed, but your forgetting the countries with the good diets are still progressing as well. As with the incentive financial that has always been there in a number of Asians counties even in China. After Mao fukked up athletics for everyone!

Your talking about disregarded cultural norms that have been in place for thousands of years. It isn't that simple, the three Asian countries you named have long standing cultures that place emphasis on other things than sports. Throwing money at things doesn't fix them.

Maybe China out of the three powerhouses you mentioned places a greater emphasis on sports because of Confucius ideology which has athletics and general active lifestyle embed in his teachings. That's why there are athletic parks everywhere in China.

The other two it's just a plan doesn't mean it will succeed you need to change the cultural norms and perceptions first and that is a not impossible task but as close as you can get to impossible. Like in the Caribbean sprinting is the equivalent to what Canadians feel about ice hockey. It's culture!

It's simple a greater number of participants doing sports means an increased ratio of finding an Usian bolt in Asian. Not saying there won't be improvements saying until culture perceptions change in a number of Asian countries it's just a plan. Will say this though greatest jump athletics to me in the last 25 years in Asia has been Japanese soccer the J-league didn't exist think 20 years ago and now they put out some top tier athletes.
Hey bro, are you of Far East Asian origin?

I think countries like Japan, Korea, Taiwan and China for example have peaked, reached peaked civilisation or somewhere near the summit of human living. They have everything they need from social cohesion, stable prosperous economics, excellent living standards, strong family unit, abundance of food, religious guidance, entertainment and now only a few frontiers remain. The few frontiers that remain would be cultural exportation/dominance, military expansion and sporting dominance. The first two is dangerous as would encroach on the Atlantist control of the world and would cause chaos but the latter is a free market. Dominating in sport or doing well in it, means, increased national patriotism, improved public image and exportation of soft power, it’s the cheapest and simplest way to improve a nation’s mindset and get admiration from peer nations.

It's true, just because you plan, doesn't mean it work out but a well thought out executed plans work majority of the time if supported by nation states. Developing world class athletes is simple work compared to the feats some of these Asian nations have reached.
