• To date, China has participated in seven summer Olympics since its reinstatement in the IOC in 1979, winning a total of 163 gold medals. Meanwhile, Chinese athletes competed in seven winter Olympics and collected 2 gold, 12 silver and 8 bronze medals.
• In 2008 for the Beijing Games, the Chinese delegation had an average age of 24.4 and is composed of 639 athletes participating in 28 sports, 38 disciplines and 262 events. During the two-week competitions, the Chinese delegation displayed impressive skills in athletic technique. By scoring the best ever result at the Games with 51 gold, 21 silver and 28 bronze medals, China achieved a major historic breakthrough and made significant contributions to the hosting of a highstandard and unique Olympic Games in Beijing.
• The earliest involvement between China and the Olympics dates back to 1894 when Greek prince issued an invitation to Qing Dynasty rulers through the French Embassy in China. They asked them to send athletes to the first Modern Olympiad, to be held in Athens in 1896, but the Qing government didn't reply due to their unfamiliarity with sports events.
• In 1932, the Kuomintang government intended to send Shen Siliang, secretary-general of the All-China Athletic Association, to visit the tenth Olympics in Los Angeles. The puppet government in Manchuria, supported by the Japanese, wanted to dispatch two athletes, Liu Changchun and Yu Xiwei, instead but Liu refused to represent them. The Kuomintang government finally sent a sixmember delegation, including team leader Shen, coach Song Junfu and both Yu and Liu, who ranked fifth and sixth after the first rounds of the men's 100m and 200m races. Despite his failure in the qualifiers, Liu became China's first Olympic athlete.
