Chinese Men's Gymnastics: Win Gold or Disband

The Chinese men's gymnastic team has sworn that the team would be disbanded unless it wins a gold in Sydney.

The gold medal in the Olympic Games is very important to the Chinese men's gymnastic team. Yesterday, Zhang Jian, director of the Gymnastic Management Center, said that the team would be totally changed if it does not win the gold.

Zhang Jian said that team members and their coaches will try their best to win the gold. If the team does not win the gold due to problems in their technique, the men's team will have no hope and a new class of gymnasts should be trained as soon as possible.

According to Zhang Jian, the men's team should have a good shot of winning the gold based on its strength. But, it all depends on how they perform at the meet. If the athlete is not in the right mindset, it won't matter how much they train.

Zhang Jian revealed that the Chinese gymnastics team is trying to relieve stress as it prepares for Sydney. Currently, the athletes are in a good mood and will take the next twenty days to make adjustments so they do their best in the Olympics.
