Records broken in National Meet or American/European road race scene will never be recognized by China Amateur Athletics Federation(whatever they call it).
Which explains why their runners seemed to be eluding away from the world running scene.
I only got to know today, that China only recognize:
1.Olympic Games
2.Asian Games
3.European GrandPrix - they did send a pole vaulter, she bore expenses with her own pocket. The cost is too expensive for those fat,greedy chinese officials.
They dont recognize:
-road races, yes, not even london/berlin/chicago/NY marathon
-their own national champ. Athletes complaining about broken records but china still stand by their book rules.---> why on earth they made such an unneccessary rules anyway?
This attitude is biased by the US sentiments and anti-capitalism stand.
So guys now you know why chinese ath dont like to do so many races.
waste of energy,time,money and yet, they are not recognised by their own country.
