As she is no doubt far to modest to do so, I’m putting a link here to a story by my colleague Jodi Xu on the time.com website. It’s about China’s just-“retired” Prince of Diving, Tian Liang (that’s him smiling so nicely above). He was pretty much chewed up by the Chinese sports machine and spat out, as the storyrecounts. Still, he doesn’t seem to have done so badly, having come away with a couple of Olympic gold medals–and a couple of million dollars.
