Rio Olympics 2016: Team China News and Images

Am I wrong ?

Btw, we have 1 gold and 1 silver for 22 ( 1 unallowed to play because injury )
China has 20 gold and 16 silver for 412
Both the Vietnam Gold and the silver are from the same person. He is more than 40 years old. If he could get better training before, he might have taken many golds for Vietnam. Hopefully he is not exceptional for Vietnam and will open the door for gold medals, similar to Koreas and Japan who can always grab some gold medals each time.

The Chinese badminton team wiped all 5 gold medals in 2012 London but this time may collapse without any gold. I am very surprised that India badminton team made such an impressive advancement to contest for golds for both men and women. How can they achieve this, especially in India with such a weak sport tradition?
 
He must complete his service in military first.
And he scored WR before.
 
Frankly speaking, Serbia is better than Chinese volleyball team.
Anyway, it's amazing day for them and all their supporters.
A medal for Chinese volleyball team at Olympics is so previous.
No matter they beat Serbia or not, we will always support them
and we are always inspired by the spirit of Chinese volleyball!

Badminton men's single semi finals. Lee Chong Wei versus Super Dan now. 1 game each. 3rd game now. Looks like it can go either way.

In arguably the strangest thing seen at the Olympic Stadium in Rio this week the US women's relay team raced around the track by themselves on Thursday night.

But it was anything but a practice run for America's 4x100m stars as they qualified for the final by racing only against the clock after controversy had marred their heat.
Don't know why, I very hope the American team can win the gold in the final, it will be a bigger joke, very ironic:dance3:

If the same scene repeat again in the final, and American team race solely against clock and gain the Gold, I will be happier than China Ranking first in Gold Tally, I will cheer for their "win" with them:rofl::rofl::rofl:
 
u better leave this thread, create your own Viet Rio thread.
It's better for people to mind their own business than get insulted elsewhere.

Mod had already issued warning. If they want to get ban, let them be. Obsession knows no bounds.


Super Dan lost :(

Congrats Lee Chong Wei.

The last few rallies with Lin Dan saving 3 match points was amazing. Then Lin Dan made the unforced error at 20-20.

Both of them are greatest badminton players in history.
Lee Chong Wei received interview from CCTV Sport, he was truly a respectful Malaysian Chinese.
 
To make matters worse, they attempted to cover their disgusting behavior by discrediting the host country's rule of law and making it look like some third world banana republic.

That was the worst part, indeed, their disgustingly insulting behavior.

But, at the end, they have been amazingly insulted and belittled for very low personal characteristics and morality.

Chinese table tennis players may seem invincible, but how well can their head coach play?
By Ma Danning (People's Daily Online) August 19, 2016


With China's 3:1 victory over the Japanese men's table tennis team on Aug. 17 in Rio, China has once again swept the Olympic table tennis golds. Chinese players have won 28 of the 32 Olympic gold medals given out since the sport's inclusion in the games in 1988.

China's formidable dominance in the sport has led Cai Zhenhua, vice director of China's General Administration of Sports, to claim proudly that, “if nothing vital goes wrong, there will be no question of China continuing to be the leader of the sport for the next ten years, based on our time-tested training system and a reservoir of potential athletes.”

Another result of the Chinese players’ unmatched performances is that their head national coach, Liu Guoliang, has been brought into spotlight. Of course, Liu wasn't always a coach. In 1996, Liu claimed two Olympic gold medals; in 1999, he became the first Chinese table tennis player to achieve a grand slam. Considered one of China’s greatest table tennis players of all time, he was once a true household name.

However, after retiring in 2003 and eventually being appointed coach of the Chinese men’s team, he more or less faded from public sight. Some young people in China nowadays don’t even know his name, with one young netizen reportedly asking online whether "the fat man" (Liu) talking to the Chinese players during a match was a government official.

Despite being largely out of the spotlight for the past decade, Liu is still a talented athlete. Recently, a Chinese television show invited Liu to show off his table tennis skills on air. On the show he played against retired table tennis star Wang Tao, a 1992 Olympic gold medalist for men's table tennis singles and doubles. Wang currently coaches the Bayi Club in the China Table Tennis Super League.

Liu Guoliang (L)and Wang Tao (R) played on a moving table, with the two halves of the table moving farther and farther back until finally the two players were more than 8 meters apart. They nevertheless achieved continuous volleys without letting the ball fall. Photo shows a screen grab from the program on iqiyi.com.

Liu was also challenged to play with a paddle that had a hole in the middle. Liu missed several swings in the beginning, but quickly adjusted his technique. Photo shows a screen grab from the program on iqiyi.com.

Using a tiny paddle hardly larger than a ping pong ball, Liu finished seven volleys against a TV presenter playing with a regular pad. Photo shows a screen grab from the program on iqiyi.com.

I support all ethnic Chinese players!

Are you sure?

They received silvers in London too.

In synchronized swimming, Russia is almost always number 1, and China follows with number 2.
