Animals Games

China has several world-class sports training facilities around the nation, many of which have helped lay the foundation for China's Olympic success.
The following eight facilities are some of the best-known training bases in China and have produced some of the country's most talented and decorated athletes:
Duoba
Duoba, China's best high-altitude training base and one of the best in the world, is known both as the "Cradle of World Champions" and a "Factory of Gold Medalists".
Located in Huangzhong county on the Qingzang Plateau in China's northwestern Qinghai province, it sits 2,365m above sea level where the annual average temperature is 6.5 C above zero. It has been the training ground for China's national swimming team, shooting team and track and field team since the 1990s.
The Duoba training base has spawned a large arsenal of Chinese world champions and Olympic stars over the past two decades. The best known bunch is the legendary Chinese long-distance running group "Ma's Team", which won four gold medals, two silvers and two bronzes at the 1993 Stuttgart World Championships.
