First-person recollection by María José Alcalá about training in China as a young diver. She describes a rigorous daily routine (wake at 6:00, morning exercise, three-hour gym session, afternoon rest, pool training 17:00–20:00), a Monday–Saturday schedule with multiple daily sessions, parental weekend visits, and the centralized “state” nature of Chinese sports schools. She also notes there were roughly 100–200 children training in diving at her school.
