The fascinating autobiography from Asia's first ever dinghy sailing
gold medallist. Learning to sail and becoming a full-time athlete
at just 10 years old, Lijia Xu was taken away from her parents and
enrolled on the gruelling Chinese training regime, a programme
meticulously prescribed across all sporting disciplines to catapult
the nation's talented youngsters to international champions. A rare
insight into a shocking world of relentless physical training and
unquestioning mental compliance, Lijia's honest and heart-felt
account takes you on her journey from physical disabilities and
debilitating injuries to learning to think for herself, eventually
going on to achieve her dream of becoming an Olympic gold
medallist. This is an inspirational story of a young woman's will
to succeed despite all that her background threw at her.
