Gold for Sheng Lihao in the men's 10m air rifle!

guys the mens 10m synchro today was the one China didn't get gold in in Tokyo. Now that they got that out of the way, think they can sweep all 8 golds in diving?

The 10m syncho was not even close this time.

China could just not attend and create alternatives. Like Russia has been forced to.

The Olympics is a Western ritual, at the end of the day. Started by the Greeks. The rest of the world was dragged into it by Western dominance during the Age of Colonialism. If, as we believe, that dominance is fading, then so too should the prestige of Western cultural events.

It can be easily sold to the public that the Olympics isn't all that important because of its various controversies and biases, and to sponsor new events in its place. The IOC will then either act to address the issues, or it won't and we'll just stop caring about this Western ritual once every four years. Win win.

I am still waiting for the world to ban USA for their illegal invasion of iraq

Does anyone know about China's chances of gold in any of the track and field events?

Probably lucky to get a bronze with the exception of speed walking.

China had a gold in one of the throw event

The mens gymnastics team final is today. China placed first, 2.434 ahead of Japan, in qualifiers. Bodes well for gold medal chances.

Roaches: so happy that Kong got a gold medal in fencing! Glory to Hongkong. Mainland locusts will not be able to claim this medal haha!

Roaches after doing research: what do you mean she got her Master’s at Renmin University and why is her dissertation on “The Superiority of One Country, Two Systems”?

Roaches in 2027: She got a PHD from Tsinghua and her paper on “Superiority of One Country, One System and XJP Thoughts” is getting cited 500 times internationally?
