You can keep shifting the goal posts...The rules for participation in Olympics were not laid by the Chinese. Playing under the rules they won convincingly.

In 1940s, it was probably assumed that blacks could not play baseball or basketball well enough.

Talking about chess, here is No 1 chess player in the world is from India. .

And there are increasing number of Grandmasters from India - 18 in all.

>How did they go in the Olympic chess, sprinting and basketball Arun? As I mentioned, it's a matter of quality, not quantity. Gold medals in badminton, water ballet and whatnot don't count. Even with 2 billion people in China, winning the chess will be a stretch and beating Usain Bolt would remain a no go. >
