The young athletes of China have a great opportunity, the chance to win an Olympic medal in their home country. But with great opportunity, comes enormous pressure and the athletes are training hard.
At No 6 Middleschool in Lanzhou, athletes have an exhausting regime. Training can start at 5:30am followed by 14 hours of school.

The athletes hope that this will not only be their chance to compete in the Olympics, but also lead to a better future.
