China’s Bold Olympic Gamble: Building 5 Million Flag Football Players in 3 YearsIn this episode, Coach Rosenbaum delves into China's ambitious plan to cultivate 5 million flag football players within three years, aiming to establish a formidable presence in the sport's Olympic debut at the 2028 Los Angeles Games. Broadcasting from Ningbo, the birthplace of this initiative, the discussion explores the Chinese Rugby Football Association's (CRFA) dual strategy: rapidly expanding grassroots participation and developing elite-level talent. The episode examines the challenges of late entry into the sport, the necessity for standardized coaching and officiating, and the broader implications of China's centralized sports development model, known as the "Juguo Tizhi." This bold endeavor not only seeks Olympic success but also aims to position China as a global leader in flag football.
