Interesting story. But I wonder about the rest of these kids' lives.
Did their putting in double the amount of time practicing affect their performance on the rest of their schoolwork? Were they more stressed out, and did that affect their health? Were their social lives adversely affected? If they were interviewed now, would they say that everything they sacrificed to win that competition was worth it?
