It's a full A team. But apparently not everyone is on their best condition. I don't know the reasons either. Covid is a possible reason but I wouldn't blame on it as it's their choice to go abroad late and with no enough time to adjust themselves.

I oppose it unless it will not decrease Asian countries continental quota chances. We can't have Australia and Russia at the same time without more reallocated continental quotas especially group ball sports.

Somehow it seems not fair enough but still acceptable because there are two worlds qualifications with huge amount of quotas more than any continent's. If you you are good enough, you should grasp the either chance.

I think North Korea can't afford copyrights of so many matches but according to our media North Korea air Premier League every now and then.

Only because it’s a humiliation for South Korea.

1. Beijing 2008 opening ceremony without any doubt. A historical moment could be written in Chinese textbook. A strong sound telling the world that China has risen. 2. Liu Xiang Wins Historic 110m Hurdles Gold - Athens 2004 Olympics. Liu Xiang became a super star in China after Athens and still China's athletics proud. 3. Women's Volleyball gold against Russia from 0-2 to 3-2 in Athens. 4. Women's Volleyball quarterfinal winning against Brazil 3-2 as the 4th on group stage in Rio 2016. 5. China's fist Olympic Gold-Los Angeles 1984. Men's 10m air pistol XU Haifeng. A figure and a moment in our history book.

After so many up-and-downs, upsets and surprises. My guess is still correct at last. 3 AFC teams advanced.

I am very glad to see both protesters and police showed greatest restraint. None of the protests turned into riots and no pepper sprays these kind of things are used. And the most important thing is that it kinda works. The Covid curbs in Guangzhou and Shijiazhuang, two provincial capitals, are eased today. Especially Guangzhou is the most-hit city by Covid in this round. Hopefully all Covid curbs would be gradually lifted in the coming months. I am also exhausted and fed up with it after 3 years.

Iranians failed to seize the chances for a couple of times. Can't blame anyone and this match is less exciting than I expected.

I think Japan will advance for sure and Iran is also likely to advance against USA if they are no more disrupted by non-football related factors. Korea is weaker than I expect on first game. Still I hope at least 2 but hopefully 3 AFC teams will advance.

Congrats to and @MHSN. Amazing performance on last 5 minutes.

And congrats to Malaysian Chinese friends. They all seem very happy on Weibo.

Can't believe that won medals everyday! Just secured 2 medals today on QF victories. What an exceptional WCH especially witnessing the total failure in Tokyo. And now it all seems promising again.

The Iranian guy lost the SF seemed very unpleasant. Do you know which part he unsatisfactory about? I mean technically about the score. @MHSN

Luo Zongshi got the first gold on 57kg and most probably the only gold for China, any other medal would be great surprise.

FIBA already announce that China qualified. But it's different from my calculation though I know it's very likely to happen sooner or later. I am not sure if it's related to the possible withdrawal drama.

After media report it, the whole thing progresses really fast. Chinese media reached Liu Brother's mother and confirmed they will change nationality to China. Also Hungarian skating federation agree to their application of nationality change on condition that repay training expense of around $250,000-$375,000 US dollar each to Hungarian skating federation. In exchange they will be suspended for a relatively short time.

I didn’t notice this news before but Chinese short track fans always knew this. Liu Brothers trained in China before so no one link this to naturalization and thought they just kept training with familiar coach Zhang Jing. Until today the possible naturalization become big news. Here’s meme image of Chinese fans reaction: All rivals becoming teammates

I am quite shock to hear about this. At least it's never reported in China even no discussion about the possibility and feasibility. Well I respect their choice in either way and I will update the progress if I see any news from China side. Edited in 1 hour: News goes fast. Chinese fans also noticed this shocking news through the IG account below. Don't know how trustworthy it is yet. It's too good to be true still.

Congrats to France @Bohemia@Benolympique , Sweden @Belle, Netherland @heywoodu and thanks for everyone voted China. Happy to be top10. Finally I can go to sleep.
