Why did I Choose what I chose to do?
I chose to do my GCSE course work on Chinese gymnastics training because I feel a documentary I once watched about it, really made me feel disturbed about the training sessions they go through. I found it is a very interesting topic to choose and there is a lot of information you can find about it. I find that from have a gymnastics background, when looking at how the Chinese trained, it really made me see how much luckier I was.

2nd Summary on another Article
http://www.chinasmack.com/2012/pictures/chinese-gymnastics-kids-training-with-tears-sweat-dreams.html
In this second article,I found it even more shocking as a result of the amount of quotations used by the gymnastics coach in this piece of writing. It gives out more information about the training and the amount they do and what there day is like. It also depicts more images of the gymnasts in training and it gives out information such as the amount of talented gymnasts quitting as they can't handle the pressure. It also tells us about a gymnast who won a gold medal at the 2008 olympics on the pommel horse and it describes about how he started at the age of 5.
