Great post as usual! I'm surprised by how much you manage to draw out of this event. I'm curious was sports in Turkey not politicised in Turkey in the 2000s and is the Turkish government investing in sports? To make a comparison to China, my impression is that China invests a lot in talent and is competing to do well in many sports and on many levels. It also seems more aware of its shortcomings and strengths.
I could have written many more pages. The material is plenty, time is always the constraint.
I haven’t looked at investment seriously. I might for the next one. As I wrote in the footnote, China really seems like the country to catch in this regard.
