It's beginning to sound like a broken record at these Olympics. the

Chinese anthem blasts out again

and again and again as its athletes ascend the podium.

The Cold War is over, but the U.S. and China are locked in an Olympic gold

war. while the U.S. medal haul has been consistent in recent years, China

has rocketed from 5 golds in 1988 to 51 in 2008.

How do they do it? This week ABC's Gloria Riviera in Beijing visited one the

thousands of sports school where future Chinese Olympians are already being

groomed.

Headmaster Gao Jiamei told ABC News the secret to China's success.

young athletes who train hard and can endure hardship.

Hardship? Look at the face of this girl, as a coach stands on her legs.

And this footage from 2008 when a coach uses a stick to get children to

straighten their bodies.

So much for childhood,

the father of weightlifting gold medallist Lin Qinfeng has said he hasn't

seen his son in six years

China's won seven medals in shooting. and seven in weightlifting.

And like it's own synchronized swimming team practicing over and over as it

goes for gold tomorrow. China is stretching its limits as they strive to

be the only superpower of sport,
