Direct result of the Olympics: rhythmic gymnastics coaches in Beijing receiving a MASSIVE increase of incoming students (and revenues) (I am the neighbour )

My bad. Should've said in the pistol/rifle world championships.

You know what's truly incredible? China won the quota in EVERY Olympics discipline.

I really wish China has more shotgun athletes. Parents are just so reluctant to send kids to open skeet and trap ranges. The pistol and rifle ranges are making tons of money off students and amateurs while shotgun ranges next door can only stay alive on government subsidies. So unfair. I think skeet and trap are way merrier.

Whole China just simply explodes. I can hear the roar from my office. What a finish for an unforgettable New Year. She made us so proud.

We hope everybody can enjoy the Olympics as much as we ordinary Chinese do. The result is unexpected, but the penalty is corroborated by replay. China was penalized for the exact same reason in 2018, we accepted that since it was just. If you have any proof that strings were pulled, please provide evidence. I feel sorry for your experience in your childhood, and I know you probably won't change your mind. Communism in China might be different than what you felt. Anyway, I hope you fare well in your journey of life.

I am shopping and the game is airing. The whole mall bursts into applauds and roars when Zhihui lifted the last jerk. China Gold!

As far as I know the Chinese government invested very little in the sport of ice hockey, let alone the naturalization of foreigners. Some crazy tycoons who happen to be ice hockey fans pay the bill. As a taxpayer I am glad about this. The brain damage thing was aired in national TV several times and parents just refuse to send their kids to ice hockey teams. Figure skating and freestyle skiing, however, are completely different stories. You have to pay ridiculous money to get your kid trained in figure skating. I am sure nobody would care even if the Chinese ice hockey team was beaten by the US or Canada 0-200. Well, as long as it's not table tennis, Chinese people are not so crazy about sports.

Dude it's just political caricature. We have tons of Pooh in the shopping malls. Throw as many plushes as they like. Everybody has a good laugh.

Second this mate. Most ordinary Chinese fully understand that Trudeau has a reputation to uphold and any sane gov't official should not meddle with the judicial system. But the whole brouhaha was not about law and order to begin with. If the Canadian gov't would not admit they detain Meng because of political reasons to support the closest ally (US), then fine. No need to be so indignant when retaliation ensues.

This is fencing. Anything can happen unless you are OH Sanguk.

I almost threw up when I watched on FIE that Georgia butchered us.

Thank the DRAGONS we got the sabre team quota.... Thank you Italy, we would be totally f***ed if the Hungarian team made to the final and replaced the Koreans (who would have the Asian team quota).

Congratulations Poland. We were beaten fair and square.

Actually we did qualify 2 boats in the Final Olympic Qualification Regatta (W2- and W4x). Check it out.

We are the CHAMPION!!!!! Chinese men has NEVER had ANY gold in the rowing world championshlps. Now we had TWOOOO!!! Needless to mention the gold from women's quadruple sculls!!!

Yeah it makes sense. I guess the reasoning behind this qualification process is trying to include as many nations as possible, which is good for the sport.

I think you are right... I just had all the European quotas added together and it's not that many considering how many countries is on that continent. Sorry that I badmouthed.

This girl seems to have a mysterious relation with the 8th place... Best of luck for her in the final!

If you really look at the qualification timetable you'll know the European shooters are pampered. Look at how many chances Europeans (exclusively) get to qualify for Tokyo: European Games, European championships, European Olymipics qualifying tournaments... Talking about ISSF inequality.

Pistols and rifles are WAY more popular than shotguns here in China, We have great female trap and skeet shooters but our lads are yet to shine in the international bunkers. I shoot trap and based on what I saw, indoor shooting ranges are swarmed with kids and parents in the weekends but they won't let their kids near the shotguns. Will take years to change.

Let's battle it out in the Olympics. I expect the contest in the shooting range in Tokyo between China and India would be EPIC.

You know what is truly amazing? China has won every single quota (even including mixed team) in the pistol/rifle categories, becoming the first nation ever achieving this feat.

As you wish, the quotas were won by Korea and China.

Yes. Chen He from China seized the single quota of Finn in the Asian qualification.
