Not sure if the question had been answered. IOC quota has it that every country can only send 10 athletes, 6 men & 4 women, so out of 15 weight class forget about sending two for every class, can't even send one for each. Common problem when China dominates in the field. Table tennis use to have doubles and mixed double, now these 3 event has been removed altogether.

Didnt know that,thanks for the info.

Zhong Tianshi (L) Gong Jinjie (R) claimed China's first ever Olympic track cycling gold medal when they won the women's team sprint title on Friday, beating Russia in the final. The Chinese broke the world record in qualifying for the final and were too strong for Russians Anastasia Voinova and Daria Shmeleva as they sped to gold.

They were the silver medalist four year ago in London after being relegated unfortunately to the second position due to rule violation despite finishing at a better time than the British team

This is also a significant achievement for China because western countries have been holding onto the gold medal positions for a century until Rio Olympics

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.

I know wiki is not a reliable source but is this true, or made up by Kazakstan offical?

Wikipedia:
"However, according to official Kazakh records, Zulfiya was born 25 July 1993 in Almaty, Kazakhstan. Her father Salakhar Chinshanlo is a businessman who speaks fluently both Russian and Dungan language."

13th GOLD - China
Congratulations

the helmet looks cool

Sun Yang fails to qualify for 1,500m final. I'm very disappointed.

Apparently he was sick.

Oh well, that just sums up China's swim team at this Olympics.

I was hoping they could do better than 2012, but the entire team has regressed.

Even the women, who are very consistent, performed below their potential.

Not sure what happened, but hopefully the team learns from this and motivates them to get better.

Maybe less magazines covers and more concentration on winning (like China's table tennis team), would better serve the swim team.

Wow, the Philippines got a silver also. Impressive.

Greater hope mean also a great deception, when come to cheerleading our team, I don't expect anything from them...of course I want China to earn all Medals .

stop treating them like movie stars until they bring back a medal. That's how it is here. You win, you make millions. You lose, you don't quit your day job.
