This was Cristian and Aline's best event, right? Any chance of a medal in the other events? Obviously not gold, but maybe a bronze?

Yes but it's one thing to do well at a home games, then not do anywhere near that well the next quadrennial as most countries do. But not the same case with China. 

The bigger issue is doing well at home games and then not doing that well anymore. If they've only kept up a small bit of the investment, it should be enough to stay this competitive in such a small sport. I honestly would be surprised if they weren't at the very top now (besides the fact that I did genuinely believe this specific event, the sprint, would be won by Ribera).

Helping Russia with the invasion.

It was their best chance, for both of them, although apparently Cristian is not entirely without a chance in the 10k.
