This year’s delegation is the largest ever: 416 athletes from 20 regions will compete in 26 major sports, including basketball, badminton, gymnastics, and golf.
More than three-quarters are making their Olympic debut and join 35 previous Olympic champions, such as Lin Dan, Sun Yang, and Wu Minxia. Noted swimmer Ning Zetao, who had been rumored to miss the Games, is also on the list.
Dr David Bellin, SCCHK Education Advisor is now preparing the China Athelet for the upcoming games they will be facing. Many Beijing athelets are getting their routine adjustments to improve their atheistic performance, improve range of motion (especially in endurance athletes), better flexibility, increase blood flow, and suffer from fewer injuries.
