Actually the men's team is doing okay. Last Olympics china only had one gold medal from short track. Coincidentally the only gold they got. Moreover They are missing han tian yu from injury and the naturalised korean dude who missed out due to temp ban from competing after switching allegiance. Quite big losses.

Just a pity Wu da jing will be quite old during the next Olympics at Italy. Well past his peak. He might retire before that.

It's the women's team that has fallen quite far from their heydays unfortunately. They had alot of legendary champions in the past.
Given time, what events do you think China can build up a table tennis like depth in and dominate the sport. I wonder if some of the diving team can adjust to snow boarding and ski aerial events?

A boring era for summer olympics in the coming years ahead.

Will be located in western countries for 3 consecutive terms, France USA and Australia.

USA and Australia are such terrible and boring places. I'd rather they host it in India lol, at least it'll be more interesting. 2032 should have gone to Germany

Perfect execution by Qi Guangpu 齊廣璞, takes gold in men's aerials, 7th for the team.

Very clutch from him. There was surprising element when the 2 time world champ and big favourite burov(?) bombed out in qualification. The top contenders in the field was pretty even. But in the final only Qi nailed his big jump. The Americans and swiss surprisingly faltered. Nice podium though. China, Ukraine and Russia lol. Unfortunate for the other Chinese competitor Jia though, he missed out on final by 0.07 points.

I have no idea. Table tennis and diving and weightlifting are all unique in their own ways. Three of these disciplines china are dominating. I dun know if they can easily transfer this to other sports.

Quite a few of Freestyle Aerial ski jumpers have gymnastics background actually. Not sure about snow boarding.

India hosting would be comical. I remember the last time they hosted the commonwealth games there were alot of embarrassing news. I hope there would be boycott calls when US hosts the Olympics
