When you have someone in the Olympic final, that means you are world class.

Also China is now the dominant country in 20km walking. Both men's and women's.

Actually we have done quite well in the sports which we were not traditionally good at.

Yes, plane tickets from China to Japan are sooooo cheap.
From my city in Central China, can directly fly to 5 cities in Japan.
We will make stadiums in Tokyo just like in China, like the volleyball final in Rio, a sea of Red Flags!

I still remember that match a dozen years ago. The Russian coach was this old guy, Karpol I think his name was. He was an emotional storm and was always yelling at his girls and his face was so angry! And this is even when the Russians were ahead at the beginning!

I think that in their own way they respect him or they wouldn't let him be in charge.

No way, nobody can endure a rude boss when he couldn't lead the team to a final victory.

China must make it a priority to fill the stadiums with Chinese supporters in 2020.

I want to see the swimming events with massive Chinese support.

Sir you bet
We are going to make Tokyo our home grounds as long as we have the tickets

Olympics have finished but Paralympics are still to come.

China has topped the medal table (gold and total) in 2004, 2008 and 2012.



The Westerners will try to team up with Japan to derail China in 2020.

China must be alert to these schemes.

China must own and dominate the 2020 Olympics both in medal table and in support.

We are always doing well in paralymics
Aint that showing to the world something?

Yes I agree Sir that the coming Olympics is one tall order to ask of our Olympic team
I am afraid another disasters will strike again at our Gymnasts, Badminton, swimming and severely threatening TT
synchronised swimming

So easy....
$100 can buy a ticket to Tokyo....

I still remember that match a dozen years ago. The Russian coach was this old guy, Karpol I think his name was. He was an emotional storm and was always yelling at his girls and his face was so angry! And this is even when the Russians were ahead at the beginning!

2004 final was even more exciting then yesterday.....
Chen Zhonghe is also a perfect volleyball coach.
