Japanese are quite smart. Only Korea, China and Japan three NOCs are written in Kanji (Chinese Character), all other NOCs are written in Hiragana(phonetic Romanization). On one hand, it shows respect to neighbors because Kanji seems more classic than Hiragana. On the other hand, it splits Chinese Taipei and China to avoid sequence next to each other if written in Kanji at the same. It makes all sides satisfied.

So China is actually not offended if Chinese Taipei marched before them except when China is hosting... I always thought that Nagano 1998 uses English because of this case.

 

Anyway it is Katakana instead of Hiragana

China is not offended at all. China hopes to lead right after Hong Kong and Taipei, but it’s fine if it doesn’t make it. Taipei asked to split them from China in Beijing 2008 and China agreed so I think it will not be barrier for other OG. But still it needs some sort of art to make it natural as what Japan just did.

Yeah only Japanese and Korean have the possibility to do this.

 

It is still possible for Hong Kong to march as "Chuugoku Honkon (中国香港)" - we can't be sure on anything until the opening itself

I guess not but I’m looking forward to seeing the result. In this case Hong Kong should not be separated by China. Then only Taipei is separated. :finger: It’s not a beautiful art anymore and the purpose is over exposed. Obscurity is the art of Japan.

    • North American rugby quotas ( and qualified automatically)    M: and W: and  
    • I remember Caroline Golubitsky. She competed with Vezzali for a while but not for long. Rita Konig, whom Vezzali defeated in the final of the Olympic Games in 2000, was more famous, as well as Sabine Bau and Anja Mueller. From what I remember, the Germans competed fiercely with us at some point, but they almost always lost.
    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
