Sportler, Schweiß und Emotionen werden zur Zeit rund um die Uhr in rekordverdächtigen Dauereinsätzen von den Journalisten aus China gesendet.

Wir brauchen kein Epo, Eigenblut, IGF-1, Insulin oder verminderte Altersangaben, um euch zu sagen, dass manchmal die Quantität der Rekorde zu Gunsten der Qualität getauscht werden muss und präsentieren euch heute: The La's, Gelka, Chase the Dragon, Jonathan Richman, Joel Rafael und Deportivo.
