1. Who were the most unexpected Qualifiers(Team/Individual) from your nation? Men's epee team, the last stage of unlimited calculating of scores and unexpected drama continuously happened. Our savior turned out to be Estonia who chose to attend but got eliminated at the first round. 2.Which athletes/teams ' not qualifying from your nation hurt you the most? Men's basketball for their unexpected loss and Men's water polo for FINA irresponsible cancelation of Asian qualifier.

That game vs Poland is definitely the darkest moment for Chinese basketball in my whole life.

The one you unexpected is the one hurt us most at home.

Rumors from multiple source including Chinese journalists in Japan that all matches in (greater) Tokyo area will be without spectators.

Kim Yeon-koung - Volleyball & Hwang Sun-woo - Swimming

ICF released the athletes list without specifying which events to attend: https://www.canoeicf.com/canoe-sprint-olympics/tokyo-2020/athletes But it seems only include NOCs with first letter of A to E temporarily

BTF is worst part I can imagine of the Tokyo OG. No one and no other organization can compete even close. Zero expectation of the boxing in OG. I would rather not hear any news of this sport during OG to make me angry.

Hahaha. They pronounce the same. But if written in Chinese they have different family names.

finally announced the list, even stricter than what I expected. Only achieving standard A in trials finals could be named even the list is not full, all past events don't count and only one swimmer Chen Long achieving standard A in prelims named, the other one OG champion Ye Shiwen failed to be named. Men's event: 50m free: Yu Hexin 100m free: He Junyi, Yu Hexin 200m free: Ji Xinjie, Wang Shun 400m free: Ji Xinjie 800m free: Chen Long 1500m free: Chen Long 100m fly: Sun Jiajun 200m fly: N/A 100m back: Xu Jiayu 200m back: Xu Jiayu 100m breast: Yan Zibei, Qin Haiyang 200m breast: Qin Haiyang 200m IM: Wang Shun, Qin Haiyang 400m IM: Wang Shun 4*200m free relay(only): Hong Jinquan, Zhang Ziyang Women's event: 50m free: Zhang Yufei, Wu Qingfeng 100m free: Yang Junxuan, Wu Qingfeng 200m free: Yang Junxuan, Li Bingjie 400m free: Li Bingjie, Tang Muhan 800m free: Wang Jianjiahe, Li Bingjie 1500m free: Wang Jianjiahe, Li Bingjie 100m fly: Zhang Yufei 200m fly: Zhang Yufei, Yu Liyan 100m back: Chen Jie, Peng Xuwei 200m back: Liu Yaxin, Peng Xuwei 100m breast: Tang Qianting, Yu Jingyao 200m breast: Yu Jingyao 200m IM: Yu Yiting 400m IM: Yu Yiting 4*100m free relay(only): Chen Yujie, Zhu Menghui, Ai Yanhan 4*200m free relay(only): Dong Jie, Zhang Yifan

I don't think in artistic swimming allowing 1 P card athlete. I mean we also want to use this P card if it exists because our duet athletes are 30+ years old and really wanna some rest. But the federation said the rules force them joining the team and only 8 quotas allowed.

Final Entry List: https://resources.fina.org/fina/document/2021/07/05/b9a5de03-6a1b-4037-9c84-00b16dd4016c/Diving-Qualified-Athletes-for-Tokyo-2020.pdf

China failed to qualify at home in 2019 World Cup and also the first time absent from attending as PRC. This is the MOST frustrating moment for all Chinese fans during the OG qualification process.

For women’s team, China bet on BB to gain a gold medal. These girls all have very high D scores if performed well they could get above 15.3. But you know BB is most unpredictable for women so we send a huge BB favored team. For team events we are satisfied by a bronze medal. For men’s team, the debate is between Lin Chaopan and Zhang Boheng. Liu Yang don’t have capability of 6 events so we can’t choose him and Zou Jingyuan at the same time who also cannot compete 6 events.

Mainly because of the pandemic, otherwise he will attend AA World Cup stages and ACh to gain experience and gain referee’s expression. But they are all canceled.

Men's Team: Xiao Ruoteng, Zou Jingyuan, Sun Wei, Lin Chaopan Men's Individual: You Hao(SR and PB), Liu Yang(SR) Women's Team: Zhang Jin, Tang Xijing, Lu Yufei, Ou Yushan Women's individual: Fan Yilin(UB), Guan Chenchen(BB) One infamous Men's AA gymnast Zhang Boheng is not selected which largely angers Chinese gymnastics fans. He has no previous major events experience but ranked 1st once and 2nd twice in total 3 trials. He is young without injures and also stable so he attracted lots of fans in a very short time. But still he is not selected due to lack of international experience. I am also among the fans dissatisfied by the list.

Chinese fans call on our NOC to support and follow Korean’s movement to protect our athletes. We just can’t wait to politicize everything in OG. Let’s call it freedom of food.

Looking forward to seeing the banners from Korean. I would pick "No Nuclear Food","Apologize to Comfort Women" and "Dokdo is Korea". Chinese will not express their views on court, but if encouraged I will pick"Apologize to Nanjing Massacre", "Get Out of Diaoyu Islands" and "Releasing Nuclear Water is Genocide of Human Kind".

finallized？

It seems all confirmed to me and there are total 42 players. Do I get it right or any other pending issures?

China - 408 (6 Archery - 52 Athletics - 8 Artistic Swimming - 14 Badminton - 12 Basketball - 8 Basket-Ball 3x3 - 4 Beach Volley - 6 Boxing - 3 Canoeing Slalom - 15 Canoeing Sprint - 2 Cycling Mountain Bike - 2 Cycling Road - 4 Cycling Track - 10 Diving - 6 Equestrian - 12 Fencing - 18 Football - 4 Golf - 12 Gymnastics Artistic - 5 Gymnastics Rythmic - 16 Hockey - 6 Judo - 2 Karaté - 4 Modern Pentathlon - 28 Rowing - 12 Rugby Sevens - 12 Sailing - 24 Shooting - 2 Skateboarding - 2 Sport Climbing - 30 Swimming - 1 Swimming Marathon - 6 Table Tennis - 6 Taekwondo - 5 Tennis - 4 Trampoline - 1 Triathlon - 12 Volleyball - 13 Water Polo - 8 Weighlifting - 11 Wrestling) I highlight the unofficial sports with yellow and the rest part is official, still 408 is the best estimate number. Athletics 52 is most probably correct based on Road to Tokyo list. I don't see any intention that we may give up any quotas including relays. Diving 10 may change due to double starter situation, ranging from 9-10. Swimming 30 may change due to relay consideration, ranging 30-33. Based on what I know China will not use maximum relay quotas. Other issue, boxing may receive a reallocation quota in M91+kg due to Australian withdrawal and China count water polo 13 quotas due to unclarity on the qualification document as well as Japan counted 13. China failed to exchange the unused men 10m air rifle quota so someone may receive this reallocation quota in coming days.

Surprisingly China's Zhuang Shuai reject to play in Tokyo, So we don't have 6 women's full quotas. Somehow I admire her guts to do so and she will be the first Chinese professional athlete rejecting federation's call.

I thought Iran must be satisfied. Iran is the obvious favorite of the group, even some unexpected things happened, still could be the 2nd.

They are already frustrated on social media. Some Chinese fans think it a good draw while some think it a bad one. But all agree that better than Korea's.
