Deng Xinrui 'narrowly missed' the finals - details, details. Doesn't sound very impressive.

More of these athletes have better equipment and coaching than the athletes in this city.

Balancing studies and sports? Sure, but does it affect the training time? Something has to give.

The story doesn't say what place they came in. It's hard to get excited when we don't know the results.

Bronze is nice, but let's be honest, China needs to step up its game. Not gold.

Another bronze for China? Needs to be more than just making finals. Stagnation, not progress!
