...horse racing and boxing, experts will point out that a strong start does not mean a strong finish. China is a case in point. Its GDP has grown at a rate of about 10% a year for a decade. The government has done whatever it needed to do to keep the economy on track. It has underwritten the build-up of the manufacturing sector, the telecom and electric infrastructure, and a large and complex financial system.

Due to strong performances early in the season, Jantzen found himself atop the bracket in 2009 and justified his seeding. Despite nagging injuries, the young grappler appeared in top form over the two-day tournament, dispatching Cornell’s Corey Manson and Trevor Melde of Rutgers to earn a spot in the decisive bout...
...It’s been a very long indoor season,” said hurdler Dara Wilson, who lead the Ivies last week in the 60-meter hurdles with an 8.76-second finish. “I think, given all of those things, [Saturday] was a pretty strong day for us.” Harvard senior hurdlers Shannon Flahive and Dara Wilson both finished the 60-meter hurdles at 8.84 seconds in the opening day of competition. Sophomore distance runner Jamie Olson finished sixth place in the one mile run at 4:55.88, which qualified her for Sunday?...
