Great to see that China is starting to make progress in rowing, I can see more success in this sport for China in the future!

Thanks Sir
AFAIK this is not the first medal at the Olympics
I think we have won some more in other Olympics and world events as well
Give me time to find some of the records

Yea there is no reason why China can't do well in Rowing and Canoeing.

Won more in 2008 without the number of athletes restriction. In swimming there is no restriction on number of athletes per country. As long as you qualify you keep going until the finals. why put restriction for weight class in lifting?

There is but not as severe as weightlifting.

The limit is 2 per individual event. So if a third best swimmer from a country beats everybody else in the time trials he still can't compete. A country can't win all 3 medals in an individual swimming event and obviously not more than 1 in a team event.

shoulder muscles in athletes not as strong. You see despite what liberals tell you , in sport besides being skilled, you need to have height and strength. Being shorter is disadvantage because you work harder than a tall guy so you get tired faster.

Getting tall athlete is no issue for China, i think proper training and nutrition may be the issue.

In weightlifting, they limit only 4 athletes for any one country regardless of weight class. China is a medal contender for all weight class men and women, so potentially they missed out on 6-8 extra medals.

Our rowing medals in Olympics history:

We are ranking fairly low at 23rd on all time medals table
G 1 + S 4 + B 2 = 7 in total

But there are world sports events in rowing like the World Rowing Championships/ cup, Asian Games etc in which we got medals

I think it's 10. 5 Chinese have already won medals.

Yes. They have been keeping the pace at good distance from the lead until the last few Kms
A very good start for our track and field athletes
Very encouraging news for China after the disastrous results at the swimming pool

下面还有什么比赛？

You won 8 out of 15 gold medals. 5 out 15 in 2012. 5 out of 15 in 2004. There's still 15 in 2016 https://www.olympic.org/weightlifting

Do you know the two Kazakhstan female weightlifters that won gold, Maiya Maneza and Zulfiya Chinshanlo are Chinese athletes on lease contract to Kazakh? The only reason they can't compete for China is the quota system.

They themselves admit that. But it's not the athletes' fault that they cannot compete for their country instead have to "immigrate" elsewhere in order to beat the quota.

Well she may be just hiding her Chinese ethnicity so she doesn't get into trouble with the IOC for going around the 10 person rule. It is possible the Kazaks are simply backing her up. She probably trained all her life and then the rule limit screwed her up.
