From 1999-2008 China were my favourite team. Since then they haven’t stood out as much and I don’t know as much as I used to about their athletes and programme. China WAG have been inconsistent for decades but I did not expect them to have such a poor performance in Tokyo. I know there are injuries amongst the team and those that didn’t make it, but that’s true of a lot of teams. There was so much promise shown at internal competitions over the last year and it did seem like one of the harder team jigsaws to select. What’s the problem and what can be done?
