First flagbearer and its already awkward lmao

I believe this guy has to compete in men's 10m Air Pistol next day morning, it just makes sense for him to not attend the opening ceremony

Same thing in Vietnam, as long as the flag bearers are tall and young, their performances do not matter  Our flag bearers this time are Quách Thị Lan (athletics) and Nguyễn Huy Hoàng (swimming), who have almost 0 chance of winning a medal. Our only gold medalist Hoàng Xuân Vinh (shooting) was not chosen (probably too old). Neither were our hopes in weightlifting (probably too short) 

Zhu Ting(Volleyball) and Zhao Shuai(Taekwondo). Both are very tall. Height is consistently the major consideration for Chinese flag bearer.

Don't be so sure

That's lucky it could have been 1 or even 0 also. Nonetheless Hoang Thi Duyen is instantly a medal favorite in 59kg, no participation in W 49kg I believe. Kim Tuan is safe for silver / bronze . That's 2 medals whose chances seemed to be over rising again. 

Our medalist in Rio 2016 ( Hoang Xuan Vinh, gold in 10m air pistol, silver in 50m pistol) will come out of retirement to compete at Tokyo.

Thanks to Australia, we also qualify before the match starts.

Further info in 15 mins. And it is confirmed that he is stable

China Team A will arrive in June 5th, they will play from 6th or 7th I guess. China is eager to play with strong teams as they have no such chances after 2019 World Cup. All top players will show up later. China is performing so bad until now even it’s a team B. Hopefully things will get better.

Weightlifting would be our best shot at getting a medal at Tokyo. I know it is for the best to save weightlifting at Olympics and also for the sake of IOC's integrity but it is heartbreaking to see our athletes (still training and hoping to go to Tokyo soon) fail to qualify just because of some stupid young athletes.
 
Currently, I doubt that our federation has the ability to test young athletes regularly, let alone has a doping scheme.
