Tonight, a man named Felix Sanchez, representing the Dominican Republic, won gold in the 400 meter hurdles. It was the Dominican Republic's first gold medal in the London games.
But here's the thing about Felix Sanchez:
He was born in New York. He went to high school in San Diego. And he went to college at USC.
He's about as Dominican as I am.
I don't think there are too many athletes from other small, weird countries who were really born and raised in China.

And isn't Maria Sharipova playing for Russia? I think she's been living (and training) here since she was nine or something.
