  Chinanews client, Beijing, July 17 (Reporter Xing Rui) The Tokyo Olympics are approaching, and what Chinese audiences look forward to most at each Olympics is undoubtedly the figure of Chinese athletes.

But in fact, Chinese faces often appear in delegations from all over the world.

At this Tokyo Olympics, there were also many Chinese athletes participating. Let’s count them down.

  China has always been known as a "big exporter of table tennis talents."

In this project, there are many Chinese players in many delegations.

The ace athlete Zhang Benzhiwa of Japanese table tennis is a Chinese athlete.

His parents are not only from China, but they were also table tennis players before.

  Zhang Benzhihe seems to have inherited the talents of his parents. At the age of 15, he won the ITTF Tour Championship and became a rising star in the Japanese table tennis world.

This time, it is the first time Zhang Benzhihe participated in the Olympic Games.

And he will also become one of the biggest opponents of the national table tennis men's singles.

  The 58-year-old Ni Xialian will also start her fifth Olympic journey.

This table tennis player, born in Zhejiang, China, is known as the "evergreen tree in the table tennis world".

In 1979, she was selected for the China National Women's Table Tennis Team and also won the World Championships with the team.

In 1989, Ni Xialian went to Europe and settled in Luxembourg.

In 2012 and 2016, she was a member of the Luxembourg delegation.

After the start of the Tokyo Olympics, Ni Xialian will become the oldest Olympic table tennis player.

In 2007, Feng Tianwei obtained Singaporean nationality and helped Singapore win a silver medal in the women's team at the Beijing Olympics the following year.

  This trip to Tokyo will be Feng Tianwei's fourth time on the stage of the Olympic Games.

At the age of 35, she hopes to bring a medal to the Singapore team.

  There are also Chinese players among the players representing the Canadian team in the Tokyo Olympic table tennis competition.

Among them are Zhang Mo, a 32-year-old female golfer who has participated in the Olympics three times, and Wang Zhen, a 35-year-old player who has participated in two Olympics.

Both of them were born in Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province, China.

At the Tokyo Olympics, they will partner in mixed doubles.

  Badminton is also an advantage for Asian players.

Li Wenshan, who was born in Hong Kong, immigrated to Canada with her family since she was a child.

At the age of 17, she began to participate in professional open competitions and won gold medals at the Pan American Games and the Commonwealth Games.

  Li Wenshan represented the Canadian team in the London Olympics and Rio Olympics, but neither stood on the podium.

During this trip to Tokyo, she is also working hard for Olympic medals.

In addition to Li Wenshan, 19-year-old Brian Yang, who was once Canada's youngest national champion and won a gold medal in the Pan American Championships and Youth Olympic Games, will also participate in the Olympics with the Canadian badminton team.

  Another Australian badminton player Chen Xuanyu was born in 1993 in Taiwan, China.

She represented Australia in the last Olympic Games, but her record was not outstanding.

  After entering the Tokyo Olympic cycle, Chen Xuanyu won the women's singles championship in the 2017 Numei-Arabian International Badminton Tournament and also established a firm foothold in the Australian national team.

For the Tokyo Olympics, she will continue to represent Australia in the women's singles competition.

  Li Shixin, born in Guangdong, China in 1988, is a diving athlete and a member of the Chinese men's national diving team.

From 2011 to 2014, Li Shixin's results were outstanding, winning gold medals in international competitions such as the FINA Grand Prix and the World Championships.

  In 2019, Li Shixin obtained Australian citizenship.

In June of this year, he announced on his personal social media that he would represent Australia in the Tokyo Olympics.

  Qin Fan, also a diving athlete, will also represent Australia in the women's singles 3-meter springboard event.

Qin Fan has been practicing diving in Beijing since she was 12 years old. At the age of 18, she immigrated to Australia with her parents.

After coming to the Southern Hemisphere, Qin Fan not only resumed diving, but also got the opportunity to represent Australia in the Tokyo Olympics.

  Tori Hask, an 18-year-old Chinese girl, is one of the most dazzling rookies in the US Olympic delegation.

Her mother is of Chinese descent and her father is a native of Chicago.

At the Tokyo Olympics, she will participate in the 100-meter butterfly and 4-times 100-meter medley relay.

  I hope that at the Tokyo Olympics, all athletes, whether they are Chinese or Western faces, can perform well and jointly create an unforgettable sports event! (Finish)
