It's very easy to find tall girls in Northern China.

A sweet revenge to the NL.

Netherland girls looked a little bit not excited, no smile....Their coach shouted and shouted...
I hope our girls could smile throughout the game in the final like today.

China badminton team did not perform well this time, compared to clean sweep in 2012.
the most consistent are diving, weighlifting and table tennis.

Yes, there must be an overhaul of shooting, badminton and gymnastics after Rio.
Especially the badminton league....Gymnastics, they should eye on the quality of each routine not just on difficulty.

Many Chinese athletes spend too much time in commercials and non-sport activities...
Phelps spent most of his time in the swimming pool...
Especially those cute faces....it's not their fault being cute, but they should prioritise training over shooting photos for the fashion magazines.

Ren Qian leads Chinese 1-2 in women's 10m platform
Xinhua, August 19, 2016

Ren took gold ahead of teammate Si Yajie, 17, to give China six wins out of seven events in the Olympic diving competition.


Teenager Ren Qian claimed China's sixth diving gold medal of the Rio Olympics by winning the women's 10m platform final on Thursday.

The 15-year-old finished with 439.25 points to beat her compatriot Si Yajie by 19.85 points at the Maria Lenk Aquatics Centre. Canada's Meaghan Benfeito took bronze with 389.20 points.

Ren started inauspiciously before posting scores of 94.05, 91.20 and 91.20 with her final three dives.

China has now won six of the seven diving gold medals decided so far at the Rio Olympics.

The last diving event - the men's 10m platform - will be staged on Saturday.

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.

China unfortunately lost the chance to enter the women's 4x100 meters final at Rio Olympics with a narrow gap behind the Canadians after the US successfully appealed its second chance to race alone on Thursday morning local time.

The defending champion cracked 41.77 seconds for the second chance, sending China out of the original finalists, among which its result of 42.70 seconds was placed last behind the Canadians' by six thousandths of a second.

The Chinese delegation tried in vain to protest against the decision but said it respected the outcome.
