Two female weightlifters have won [1] gold medals for Kazakhstan at the London Olympics. On Registan.net, Matthew Kupfer writes [2] that the two athletes “are actually from China and … this isn't a big secret in Kazakhstan.” The blogger adds: “But it doesn't change what they have accomplished. [The athletes] were not champions in China. Kazakhstan apparently found them, trained them, and made them champions.”
