Since synchronized swimming became an official event at the 2000 Sydney Olympics, Russia has won all 10 Olympic gold medals in the event.
The Chinese team achieved breakthroughs in the 2012 and 2016 Olympics and won the runner-up. In recent years, it has continuously narrowed the gap with the Russian team, and won the world championship gold medal for the first time in the 2017 World Championships.
In the first double final of synchronized swimming, the Chinese team won the silver medal in the Rio Olympics. This success was created by Huang Xuechen and Sun Wenyan who continued to compete in this Olympics.
In the 2019 World Swimming Championships, they also won the runner-up.
In the preliminaries on the 3rd, the Chinese team advanced to the final with a total score of second. The first place is still the powerful Russian Olympic Committee team.
Since the men's and women's 10km marathon swimming race became an official event in the 2008 Beijing Olympics, although Chinese athletes have not been able to win medals, their results have been rising.
At the Rio Olympics, Shandong teenager Xin Xin, who was under 20 years old, won the fourth place in the women's event and missed the medal.
At the 2019 World Championships, Xin Xin won the championship in one fell swoop and entered the ranks of the top players in the event.
Today, Xin Xin, who has returned to the Olympics as the hegemon of the World Championships, is looking forward to obtaining the "certification" of the "Olympic Hegemon".

In the men's 110-meter hurdles preliminaries on the 3rd, Liu Xiang's junior brother Xie Wenjun successfully advanced to the fourth place in the group with a score of 13.51 seconds.
After the game, he said that the preliminaries are mainly to find the feeling of the competition. In the semi-finals, he will fight again and strive to enter the finals on the 5th.
This is Xie Wenjun's third time to participate in the Olympic Games.
He has missed the finals in the previous two sessions and hopes to make up for his regrets in Tokyo.
The women's boxing 64-69 kg class will be in the semifinals on the 4th. The 33-year-old veteran Gu Hong will compete with American players for the final.
Chinese men's boxing has won 3 Olympic gold medals. Although women's boxing has not won the championship, they won 1 silver and 2 bronzes at the Rio Olympics.
In the women's boxing 69 kg class, which is a new addition to the Tokyo Olympics, Asian Championship champion Gu Hong has the strength to hit the gold medal.

In the group stage, the Chinese women's basketball team, which performed well and won all three games, ranked first among the 12 participating teams and became the favorite to win the title.
Although the Serbia team was the bronze medalist at the Rio Olympics, it did not show a strong team style in Tokyo this time. The South Korean team, who defeated the Chinese team in the group stage, only narrowly won by 4 points.
The victory of the Chinese team in this campaign is worth looking forward to.
If the Chinese women's basketball team advances, they will face the winner of the US-Australia war in the semifinals.
The women's volleyball quarter-finals started on the same day. Brazil-Russia, Serbia-Italy, the United States-Dominica, and South Korea-Turkey will compete for the four semifinals.
